Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, is a form of alternative medicine that uses manmade hormones identical to our body’s hormones to balance your body’s existing hormone levels. It is also known as natural hormone therapy. The safety and effectiveness of this practice is highly controversial. Hormone replacement treatment is only practiced in the United States. It is often promoted as a panacea for many illnesses, when it’s actually a form of treatment (not a cure!) for the discomfort of certain medical problems. Hormone replacement treatment is not widely accepted in the medical world.
Hormone replacement therapy is the practice of using pharmaceutically engineered hormone pills to balance the body’s hormones. Pharmaceutically engineered hormones are identical to the body’s hormones on a molecular level, so they can “replace” hormones within our body. This treatment is also known as natural hormone therapy. It’s believed that increasing or decreasing the levels of certain hormones in the body can impact how an illness affects your body, possibly curing the disease altogether. Hormone pills are used to manipulate your body’s hormone levels with the hope of decreasing pain or curing your illness.
