As we age, levels of certain hormones decline and the balance of hormones in the body can become increasingly disordered. This problem is compounded by poor diet, stress, and environmental toxins that act as endocrine disrupters. These hormonal imbalances can cause both physical and emotional problems as women enter menopause and men go through a similar (but less dramatic) change called andropause. It can also result in increasing health problems as we age, such as declining sex drive, loss of memory, fatigue, and increased risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.
Modern medicine offers synthetic hormones as a “solution” to this problem. However, these synthetic hormones are not the same as the body’s natural hormones and often have undesirable side effects. There are natural hormones that can be used in this hormone replacement therapy, but they require a doctor’s prescription, and finding a doctor who works with them can often be difficult.
Fortunately, there is a third alternative. All over the world, various cultures have recognized that certain plants help to counteract the effects of aging and ease the transitions of menopause and andropause. These tonic herbs often have thousands of years of human experience behind them, which makes them both effective and extremely safe. When coupled with a healthy diet and lifestyle, they can be used as a form of natural hormone replacement to help us continue to feel good as we grow older.
