As women get older their bodies are unable to produce certain hormones or reduce the production, this stage in life is referred to a menopause. The use of hormone therapy to treat the symptoms of menopause is common. Many women are choosing to use natural hormone replacement rather than traditional forms because it is believed that these products, being natural, work better with the body's systems. The products come from substances found in nature and are very similar to hormones produces by the body.

The most common reason for needing these supplements is menopause. Common symptoms that accompany menopause are hot flashes, mood swings, and insomnia. Finding the right treatment can decrease the occurrence of these symptoms considerably.

The use of these drugs can also treat premature menopause or the early loss of ovarian function. There are a wide range of causes for these conditions and differ greatly depending on genetics, specific surgeries, or medical conditions. Symptoms of these health issues can be reduced by regular therapy before they reach the average age of menopause.

The other major use of therapy is to help in treating and preventing the loss of bone mass. Women commonly experience this after they have gone through menopause, when their bodies produce less hormones to help this. Natural hormone replacement therapy can help stop the loss of bone mass and prevent bones from fracturing.

The most effective form of treatment is though a cream or patch. This way they are absorbed directly into the blood stream without being modified or reduced by the digestive system . The creams or patches are easy to apply and can be directed to specific areas of the body where they will be better absorbed and used.

There are also oral forms of treatment administered through pills. The drawback of this way is that the product must go through the digestive system before it is able to be absorbed into the blood. As the hormones are making their way through the digestive track they may be altered by chemicals in the body before they are able to do their job fully.

With all treatment there may be risks, and because the natural therapies are not FDA approved, there has been little research into the side effects. The treatments are created by companies that try to promote natural over synthetic products and not by pharmaceutical companies with scientific backing. The effects of these therapies are proven by trials and customer feedback.

Benefits of these products claim to be similar to those of traditional hormone treatments. They help women to deal with the symptoms of menopause and early onset menopause, as well as preventing and treating bone mass loss and ovarian function. Unlike traditional therapies, these products use all naturally occurring substances that are found in plants and other places. These substances are very similar to those produced by humans and work with the body in similar ways.

Like all medical therapies, consult a physician before starting a natural hormone replacement therapy. If any problems arise it is important to let your doctor know as soon as possible. Most importantly, do research before hand to see if this may be right for you.
