Herbs instead of hormone replacement prescriptions?

Once medication hormone replacement is removed from my system and herbs are replaced , will in that be weight loss? Taking hormone replacement medication, I gain 20lbs. and hate it!Herbs instead of hormone replacement prescriptions?
Oh my God I so hold your answer!! I was have hot flashes night sweats, bitchy as hell, the complete gamut. I started taking Estroven, a natural OTC med. It help to lessen the symptoms, but not eliminate them. Then my pharmacist, also going thru it suggested Soy Isoflavones, also a colloquial, OTC supplement. Symptoms are gone! Or at least virtually so. So I whip the Estroven and soy. My Mom took prescription hormone replacement meds for years. I can't say this be the cause, but she developed severe and sudden breast cancer and have a double mastectomy and has to pocket cancer meds all the time in a minute. I say jump natural. It's working for me. Good Luck.
Peace,

Depends on what cause the weight loss initially commonly when our 'natural' system is disturbed we need to gain the balance wager on which could take a while. Craving carbohydrate MAY be a chromium not as much as..yo yo dieting = metabolic stimulants (vit)...Liver overload can affect the thyroid, hormones, pancreas etc. so process of elimination...cut out adjectives instant coffees everything else with chemical...alcohol etc..for a few months meno gap sysmptoms should drop away considerably...ask the person you are buying the herb from..welcome to contact me if you are heartfelt.
