The Estrogen Alternative: A Guide to Natural Hormonal Balance

by Raquel Martin Author, Judi Gerstung D.C. Author and John Hart M.D. Foreword

As more women become aware of the potential risks of synthetic hormones, they are increasingly seeking out alternative treatments for menopausal symptoms. Despite this growing awareness, the over-prescription of estrogen remains a problem, as does confusion among doctors and patients about the risks and benefits of conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Some women are choosing to use natural or bioidentical hormones, which are derived from plants or animal sources and are thought to be safer than synthetic hormones while others are turning to complementary and alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, yoga, or meditation, to manage their menopausal symptoms. The Estrogen Alternative covers this issue so well there is no alternative to it.
