Pueraria Mirifica for Hormone Replacement Therapy

Menopause is a natural process that most women prefer not to experience. Menopause cause hormonal changes that can produce an array of adverse effects. Hot flashes, anxiety, depression, vaginal dryness, depression and osteoporosis are all caused by a natural decrease in estrogen production.

Additionally, several other hormone changes in a woman’s body contribute to these symptoms. Although menopause is not a disease, it should not be a part of life. Women report having a loss of libido, mood swings and even pain during intercourse.

Hormone replacement therapy has been helping women cope with these unwanted characteristics of menopause, however it creates dangerous risks to a woman’s health such as increasing the risk of blood clots, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and risk of heart disease. Women should evaluate the risks involved with estrogen replacement therapy and take a look at natural alternatives that have been used for centuries in Eastern medicine.

Phytoestrogens which are substances that naturally occur in isoflavones and have estrogen-like properties are contained in soy products but these too are known to cause irregular cell growth in women taking them in large amounts. Another source of phytoestrogen compounds are found in Pueraria Mirifica. The reason why this herb is gaining so much attention in recent history is it’s ability to lift and firm breasts. It has also been used widely by transgender men who wish to enhance their bust lines, namely in Thailand, where the herb originates.

Pueraria Mirifica contains multiple phytoestrogens which have been proven to be an effective treatment of menopausal symptoms, vaginal dryness and smoothing the skin. For this reason, Pueraria has been donned, “the fountain of youth”. The best part about this research is there is no proof that this herb has any negative side effects on women taking them for treatment of menopausal symptoms or natural breast enhancement (NBE).

For over a decade, alternative medicine practices have made Pueraria Mirifica a popular alternative for estrogen and hormone replacement therapy but this herb has been used for centuries by Thai people and is renown for it’s anti-aging, anti-stress and healthy skin benefits.
