HRT for women

[Insane_Man]

Hi,

My mother has been on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for some years now, and was looking into natural alternatives because of the risks associated with long term HRT. I know that herbals and stuff don't work well for men, but I was wondering if these are at all effective for women.

Anyone have experience?

What exactly is your mother taking. There is less risk associated with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for women if they take both estragen and testosterone. My mother takes Estratest and has been on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for almost 20 years (due to a total hysterectomy when she was 33) and she has had no complications.
