Studies indicate that more women are trying hormone replacement therapy alternatives to help relieve menopause symptoms. Simply put, menopause is the end of a woman's monthly menstrual periods and ovulation. Menopause generally occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. During menopause the woman's body begins producing smaller quantities of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. This causes unpleasant side effects in some women: hot flashes, mood swings, feminine dryness and urinary problems. For years, doctors typically tried to ease menopause symptoms with hormone replacement therapy, which served to boost estrogen levels. This was believed to have significant health benefits as well as improving the woman's quality of life. However, recent research indicates that hormone therapy may actually have greater health risks than benefits. As a result, more women are trying hormone replacement therapy alternatives.
Keep in mind, all the evidence is not in on hormone therapy. Although research indicates that HT may not be the panacea doctors once thought it to be, the method is still considered effective treatment for menopausal symptoms. And some research indicates that HT may be beneficial in the fight against heart disease, osteoporosis, and colorectal cancer. However, there is some confusion about the benefits and how much HT can improve a woman's quality of life. Get the facts and consider all the options. The best course of action may be a combination of methods and procedures. Research suggests that women who supplement a healthy balanced diet with nutritional supplements and exercise may be able to reduce or eliminate the side effects of menopause. These and a handful of other treatments are recognized by the mainstream medical establishment. However, hormone replacement therapy alternatives are practiced outside of conventional modern medicine. An online search indicates that spiritual healing is listed among therapy alternatives.
For Christians, most of the information concerning the benefits of spiritual healing is not anything new or shocking. But few people may have thought about using spirituality and God in conjunction with hormone replacement therapy alternatives. If a woman picks up and reads through the Bible, she will see all the different ways God can help. Menopause can be a difficult time for several reasons. First, cessation of monthly menstrual periods and ovulation is concrete evidence that the woman is aging. She is now moving beyond child-bearing age. Menopause signals the permanent end of fertility. Obviously, the woman is going through physical changes, but her mental and spiritual outlook can go a long way in alleviating some of the physical suffering. Perhaps she no longer feels young or sexually appealing to her mate. Basically, she may lack the all important peace of mind and security required to pull her through the changes. Seeking the Lord is the first step in the healing process. God is so many things, but He provides stability and peace of mind in troubled times. John says that here on earth people will have many trials and sorrows, but there is peace in Jesus. The menopausal woman may be looking at the life she has led and not focusing on the many good years still in front of her.
As Psalms clearly states, the Lord is safety, which produces a glad heart and reason to rejoice. Finally, the Lord provides inspiration and guidance. Be it emotional, mental, or physical healing; place the Lord as the cornerstone of any hormone replacement therapy alternatives program. In other words, God is the woman's shepherd through difficult times. "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." (Psalm 23: 1-6)
Generally speaking, hormone replacement therapy alternatives consist of complementary medicine, holistic medicine, and natural medicine. Alternative medicines are done along with conventional medicine practices. Acupuncture as a form of pain relief is type of complementary medicine. Holistic medicine attempts to harmonize body, mind, and in some cases the spirit through mental interventions. Natural medicine attempts to use the body's own healing power or energy to cure ailments. People have used prayer and spirituality to channel the body's power for healing purposes for thousands of years. In fact, this subject has been written about extensively. Spiritual healers are continually creating new methods to channel the body's healing power and energy. New age enlightenment is a growing field. However, Christians need look no further than the Bible for instruction on how to pray and gain strength. Herbal remedies, diet, prayer, and exercise are all forms of natural medicine. All of them can have benefits as part of the hormone replacement therapy alternatives program. Herbal medicine has been practiced for centuries. Exercise is considered great therapy. Christians know the value of prayer. Women considering any of these options should do the research before utilizing any hormone replacement therapy alternatives. Although there are a great number of benefits, experimental methods can at the very least be a waste of time and money. At the very worst they can be dangerous.
