Part of the handy series of single-subject Doctors Books, Home Remedies for Managing Menopause addresses all the symptoms of this natural process. Since only 15 to 25 percent of women eligible for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) actually take it, it is evident that women are seeking nondrug options to manage their symptoms. While other menopause books on the market deal mostly with natural hormone replacement, this book goes further, providing a full spectrum of nutritional/herbal/mind-body options. For those who do take prescription HRT, Managing Menopause offers natural remedies for side effects and risks associated with their medication. Advice is given from more than 50 experts, including Varro Tyler, Janet Zand, Alice Domar, Don Campbell, Louise Hay, and Patricia Love. Features include: -- Information for women at all stages: peri-menopause (the 5 years preceding menopause), the year of menopause, and postmenopausal years-- Chapters on every major menopause issue -- physical changes, emotional changes, sexual concerns, preventing age-related diseases, and a diet for changing needs-- A directory of alternative health care specialists who have new and unique approaches to menopause Media >, [PU: Rodale]<
