This book is heaven-sent for any woman who wants to approach her menopause years in a positive spirit and a natural way. Dr. Lonsdorf clarifies the pitfalls of approaches which often erroneously pass as "natural" and provides deep insight and realistic advice as to what is truly natural. If you want to find out why menopause is a very good thing to have happen to you and how to make a symptom-free transition through perimenopause into postmenopause, read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alternative approach to handling menopause, July 29, 2002

By	sally Peden (IA US) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Woman's Best Medicine for Menopause: Your Personal Guide to Radiant Good Health Using Maharishi Ayurveda (Hardcover)

In light of the recent research findings on negative effects of HRT reported in Newsweek July 22, 2202, i.e., increased risk for breast and other forms of cancer, many of my friends are concerned about how to handle their symptoms. For several years, I have been following the guidelines discussed in Dr. Lonsdorf's book, and I have found this book to be a wonderful source of information on how to handle the symptoms of menopause with using HRT. Dr. Lonsdorf's book discusses natural ways to balance out the changes in the physiology brought on by menopause. I would strongly recommend it to any of my friends. It has a wealth of information that not only helps one through the transition, but also helps to establish good health to carry you through the rest of your life.
