Natural Hormone Replacement Naturopaths
What is natural hormone replacement therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) refers to the use of supplements to support the body’s natural hormone levels. It is most commonly used to treat menopausal symptoms in older women—such as hot flashes and sleep disturbances—that arise from the decline in the ovarian hormone estrogen during menopause. Estrogen replacement, typically delivered via oral medication or transdermal patches, can help alleviate these symptoms by stabilizing hormone levels. In natural HRT, “bioidentical” hormones are used, which mimic naturally occurring hormones due to their similar chemical structure, although they are typically plant-derived. Given the less regulated nature of many naturopathic supplements, including those used in natural HRT, clients should consult a qualified physician to ensure that any hormone replacement intervention is both safe and effective.
