Just because something is natural doesn’t mean that it is safe, right?
That is correct. Many natural things are potentially toxic. Anything that you put in or on your body must be used wisely. Too many of one type of vitamin, too much of one type of hormone, even too much of certain foods can be toxic or harmful. This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use natural supplements. We need to use them wisely. For example, iron is natural and doctors prescribe it routinely for anemia, but too much iron can damage your heart, liver, and other organs. We shouldn’t shy away from a natural substance simply because it may not be safe if used incorrectly. Yes, too much estrogen can be dangerous. To make it safe it has to be used transdermally, in the proper dose, and balanced with progesterone.
