Osteoporosis

Although osteoporosis can affect both men and women, it is more prevalent in women, especially women who have gone through menopause and have lower levels of bone protecting estrogen in their bodies. HRT, once considered the best option for protecting against bone loss in older women, has been found to be dangerous and not effect for this use. One of the best strategies for maintaining healthy bones is regular weight bearing exercises, enough sunlight exposure to product adequate levels of Vitamin D, (15- 20 minutes daily) and a diet naturally high in calcium and high quality protein.

How Herbs Can Help

Horsetail Some French researchers assert that silicon, contained in horsetail, could assist in preventing osteoporosis and in speeding the healing of fractures. Take as a tea, once or twice a day(Weed, Susan )

Stinging Nettle Taking mineral rich herbs in capsule or tincture form won't do much for your bones. One cup of nettle tincture contains the same amount of calcium - 300 mg - as one cup of nettle infusion. Many women drink two or more cups of herbal tea a day, but no one drinks a cup of tincture!(Susun Weed )
