Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy for Relief from Menopausal Symptoms

Natural hormone replacement therapy (NHRT) refers to the use of synthetic or natural hormones to balance reducing levels of female hormones in the body. Natural hormone replacement therapy, also called estrogen replacement therapy, is highly effective in improving the patient’s quality of life. The most common menopausal symptoms are hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, increased fatigue, irritability, depression, vaginal dryness and incontinence.

Benefits of Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy

Natural hormone replacement therapy has been prescribed for two primary purposes: preventive treatment against osteoporosis and heart diseases; and relief from menopausal symptoms. Natural hormone replacement therapy also provides long-term protection against cardiovascular diseases and colon cancer. Natural hormone replacement therapy is safe, sensible, effective, and free from side effects, unlike synthetic hormones. Natural hormones can also be customized for individuals.

The United States alone has around 4,000 women entering menopause everyday. There are currently over 50 million menopausal women in the USA. It is estimated that 15 to 30 percent of the menopausing women were taking synthetic hormone replacement. However, with the availability of natural hormone replacement therapy, they have a safer choice today. Some of the potential benefits of natural hormone replacement therapy are:

• Protection against atherosclerosis, fibrocysts and endometrial and breast cancers.

• Promotes fat burning for energy and bone building

• Improves concentration and memory, blood flow, skin elasticity

• Reduces depression, hot flashes and sleep difficulties

• Prevents vaginal thinning and dryness

• Acts as a mental tonic to improve short-term memory and for better sleep.

• Improves sexuality through enhanced sensation, sex drive and libido, increased build-up of vaginal epithelium and improved pelvic floor muscles

• Provides smoother skin, tauter bladder/pelvic floor muscles and firmer breasts

• Increases longevity

Since hormones used in the natural hormone replacement therapy are similar to those produced in the body, they are relatively safe and more effective. The therapy also aims to imitate the natural processes of the body to provide symptomatic relief, without the side-effects and long-term risks associated with the traditional synthetic hormone replacement therapy.
