A Natural Alternative to HRT?
Herbal Medicine has become a popular alternative for women with debilitating menopausal symptoms. Herbal Medicine has become a popular alternative for women with debilitating menopausal symptoms, particularly in the light of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study of 2002, which suggested that health risks may exceed benefits during prolonged hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
The effect of the initial publications of the WHI resulted in a decline in HRT use of around 50% in the UK. Recent research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the USA, one of the world's foremost medical research centres, states that “the study of alternative therapies for menopause symptoms is a rewarding and important area deserving of further inquiry”. The NHS is also listing several herbs in their leaflet on alternative therapies for the treatment of menopausal symptoms. As a qualified Medical Herbalist with diagnostic and clinical training at a degree level and degree level training in medicinal plant chemistry (phytochemistry), I have successfully treated many women, who come to me for help in alleviating uncomfortable and debilitating menopausal symptoms. I have found that in most cases it is easy to get significant results in a relatively short period of time. Most patients are feeling considerably better by the time of their first follow-up consultation, which is usually two weeks after the initial consultation.
