It has been over 10 years since Dr. John Lee published a report that hormone replacement therapy or HRT was both unpredictable and could be dangerous to a woman's health.  Because of this report, more and more women are turning to natural hormone therapy.  Natural hormone therapy took off when it was discovered that menopause symptoms was a result of declining estrogen levels.  Synthetic hormones became popular but women began to get cancer.  That is when more natural therapies were developed.

Dr. Lee claimed that is was estrogen dominance that caused menopause symptoms, particularly in younger women.  To solve this problem he said the solution was to rebalance the ratio of estrogen to progesterone through progesterone treatments and supplements.  This is as close to natural hormone therapy as they get as progesterone is naturally produced in the body already.

There are some natural herbs that have claimed to help with menopause symptoms including Echinacea, Black Cohosh, Saw Pimento and Passion Flower.  Each one specifically targets one of the 34 menopause symptoms but none claim to be natural hormone therapy.  For the latest information, speak directly with your doctor to discuss your options and the best treatment for you.
