The Menopausal
Years: Alternative Approaches for Women 30-90
by Susan Weed
Your body knows more about menopause than your doctor does!
Susun Weed (author of best-seller Wise Woman Herbal for the
Childbearing Year)
spent three years talking with more than 10,000 women about their
menopause. She discovered that their experiences differ hugely from
most published accounts:
- More than half reported stronger orgasms after
menopause
- Most post-menopausal women easily increase bone
mass through diet and exercise.
- A substantial number of menopausal women feel a stong need for time
alond and for marking their Change with ritual.
One of the world's best selling books on menopause still comes on
strong. Called "indispensable," "incredible," and a "treasure trove of
information," Menopausal Years is the "bible" for the 87% of American
women over the age of fifty who want nothing to do with hormones.
Includes information and remedies for problems with premenopause --
flooding, erratic periods, fibroids, spotting, water retention, muscle
soreness -- as well as menopause -- hot flashes, sleeplessness, mood
swings, headaches, palpitations, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and much
more. Final chapters speak to post-menopausal women's concerns:
including ways to maintain heart health, prevent and reverse
osteoporosis, deal with dry vaginal tissues and incontinence, ease
aching joints, and maintain healthy libido.
The soothing, wise voice of Grandmother Growth guides each woman
through the book and through her own menopause metamorphosis. Ritual
interludes interweaves a spiritual dimension often lacking in other
works.
Includes superb resource lists for menopause information, index,
glossary, directions for using (and preparing) herbal medicines,
complete descriptions of the most-used menopausal herbs (including
nettles, ginseng, dong quai, red clover, oatstraw, and motherwort),
recipes for heart- and bone-healthy dishes, and lots of illustrations.
Menopausal Years: The Wise Woman Way brings together
all
dimensions of the Change - from meditations and quick fixes for hot
flashes to safe, natural ways to keep your mood cool, your heart
healthy and your bones strong.
