As we get old our body produces fewer hormones, and it may affect how we function. This stage in life is called "Menopause" in women and "Andropause" in men. In men, during the andropause stage, the body produces less testosterone, which results in decreased sexual desire, hair loss and general weakness. Testosterone is an important hormone for men as it is responsible for maintaining the muscle structure and the bone mass. When testosterone is missing you can expect problems to begin.
Hormone replacement therapies are meant to provide more hormones to the body and can be given in three main forms, like an injection or gel on the skin. For women, there is no FDA approved hormone replacement therapy yet. For that reason, doctors tend to give them the same treatments as men but in smaller doses. These treatments are considered to be dangerous by some, but they also have their benefits. Although these main-stream treatments work great, there are people who do not want these treatments because of their risks and sometimes because it's just not working for them. Those people try the other method- Natural hormone replacement therapy (NHRT).
Natural HRT origins are in the Chinese medicine. NHRT was developed in the late 70s and became commercial in the 80s. This method of treatment is using non synthetic bio-identical hormones from plants in order to treat humans. Natural hormone replacement therapy is usually used to treat hormone imbalances during menopause. How it can also be used in other occasions.
The chemicals that are being used in NHRT are identical to the ones in the human body and that's an amazing discovery indeed. Using plant's hormones to replace human's is something that medicine should and can be proud of. When given to the body, the body can't feel the difference between its original hormones and the replacements.
The use of NHRT is extremely important because it can fix and cure many serious problems that can't be treated differently. For example: cancer, loss of bone mass, heart diseases, high cholesterol levels and Alzheimer. And I didn't mention fertility problems yet. In this case, the hormones can make wonders and bring new babies to the world, which is really great as i see it. Sometimes all it takes is a few guys in a lab, and nature takes care of the rest.
NHRT can be given by:
1. Oral capsules- pills you can drink.
2. Implants that fit well into the body.
3. Gel caps, just like the unnatural way for hormone replacement therapy.
4. Tablets.
