Menopause – Natural Hrt Hormone Replacement Therapy

by Cure Anxiety
Filed under: Anxiety Remedies 

Most women experience symptoms of the menopause between the ages of 45 and 55. Menopause is caused by reduced levels of female hormones oestrogen and progesterone due to the ageing process. Menopause symptoms include hot flushes, irregular periods, night sweats, anxiety, depression and sleeping problems.

There are growing concerns about the safety of HRT in long-term use. Clinical studies indicate that HRT is associated with an increase in the risk of breast cancer, endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer. HRT has been shown to increase the risk of heart attacks and blood clots and strokes.

Hormonal changes can make you very emotional and you may get upset at the slightest problem. Hot flushes are a common problem which can cause embarrassment and wake you in the night. More women are turning towards natural remedies to treat menopause symptoms as they are worried about the possible side effects of prescription medication. Natural remedies used for easing menopause symptoms include:

• Agnus-Castus which helps regulate your periods<br>
• Black Cohosh eases hot flushes and helps you relax so that you sleep better.<br>
• Mexican Wild Yam helps with painful and irregular periods.<br>
• Red Clover helps to regulate hormone levels<br>
• Soy Isoflavones contain natural plant Phytoestrogens which are similar to human Oestrogen.<br>
• A healthy diet and regular exercise can also help to ease menopause symptoms.

It is interesting that Japanese women do not appear to suffer from hot flushes. This is thought to be due to their diet which is rich in Isoflavones. You can buy natural HRT remedies and health supplements from herbal stores and health food shops. There is no need to suffer menopause symptoms – all you need to do is decide which supplement you are going to take, and then you can look forward to the next phase of your life and freedom from having periods and monthly menstrual cramps.

    2. Dried dates: Soak 6-8 dried dates in a cup of warm water and leave overnight. Eat them first thing the next morning and drink the water as well. Try for 3-4 weeks.

    3. Your mom is on the right track using natural progesterone. It’s the ONLY substance that has been shown to REBUILD bone, from the inside out.

    (Natural progesterone does NOT cause cancer like synthetic HRT does. In fact, it helps protect against cancer.)

    Estrogen (in the synthetic HRT) only delays bone breakdown, and it only works for four to five years. The problem is that it actually stops the bone from performing its natural cycle – breaking down old bone and rebuilding new to replace it. If old bone is not being broken down, there is no new bone being rebuilt! After five years on HRT, bone will be brittle.

    Have her read Dr. John Lee’s book "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause". He explains it very well!
    He also gives guidelines for finding a quality progesterone cream. She may want to compare the one she’s using to his recommendations. <hint hint>

    Your mom’s doctor is not fully informed. Dr. Lee says, "You can educate your doctor, or find a new one."

    5. About the risk of breast cancer I found this:

    "1. No side effects: It’s a natural hormone to the body with no undesirable side effects, when used as directed. Don’t mistake this with synthetic progestins, which are unnatural. Tests show they can cause harmful side effects including, partial loss of vision, birth defects, and breast cancer."

    6. Does anyone have any suggestions about treatments for menopause other than hormone replacement therapy?
    My mom is 50yrs old and she has been going through menopause since last Jan. She uses progestercare cream from the health food store but she doesnt want to do hormone replacement therapy or premprose because they increase the risk of breast cancer. Her doctor is telling her that she will develop osteoporosis if she doesnt get on some sort of HRT though. Can anyone give her any advice on what to do? Are there any natural ways that anyone has tried that worked? And does anyone know if not going on HRT can really cause osteoporosis?

Tell me what you're thinking...
