More and more women are seeking no-drug alternatives to synthetic hormones and their dangerous side effects. The Estrogen Alternative introduces one of the most useful of these natural substances - botanical progesterone. Derived from a wild yam and available in cream or tablets, this natural form of progesterone is identical to the progesterone produced in our bodies and is thus easily absorbed.

Many of the discomforts that women face, including cramping, miscarriages and the often disruptive symptoms of menopause, may result from a deficiency of natural progesterone combined with estrogen dominance. Stress, poor diet and the declining quality of fresh foods all contribute to the problem. Modern medicine typically treats hormone imbalance by prescribing synthetic hormones in an attempt to bring estrogen and progesterone back into balance. But our bodies do not assimilate these manufactured hormones effectively, and the resulting side effects can be far worse than our original discomforts.
