Its been extensively researched and concluded that hormones are very important components of health and well being.

I have witnessed miracles in my patients who come with multiple ailments and symptoms which cannot be related to one single disease and improve incredibly with simple BHRT ( Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy).

Hormones are chemicals secreted by endocrine glands. They are messengers that dictate other parts of the body to perform the various functions. Hormones control almost all body functions. These include sex, brain functions, growth, and metabolism. When hormones are out of balance, multiple symptoms can occur.

Dipped/ Imbalanced hormone levels can cause the onset of most of the chronic ailments such as :

Cardiac diseases

Diabetes

Endocrinal diseases ( Menopausal Symptoms)

Neurological disorders ( Depression, Anxiety, Panic attack, mood changes etc)

Generalised Fatigue syndrome

Skin dryness, brown spots(melasma)

Erectile Dysfunction in males

Belly fat in both sexes

Bloating

Inability to lose weight

Memory loss

Hot flashes

Insomnia

Loss of interest in sex

Vaginal Dryness

Hair fall (both men & women)

Bio-Identical hormones are safe as compared to synthetic hormones. These are extracts of Yams and soy and they possess the structure same as hormones secreted by our body.

Common hormones that compounded by Bio Hormone Pharmacies are estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA. These are then used for treating for men and women whose own hormones are low or out of balance.
