Natural Menopause Remedies: Which Drug-Free Cures Really Work [Paperback]

M.S., R.D., Nadine Taylor (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 6, 2004

Learn the most effective ways to ward off specific menopausal symptoms- without the use of synthetic hormones.

We learned the bad news: Women on Hormone Replacement Therapy have a higher risk of heart disease, blood clots, stroke, and breast cancer than those who are not. Some six million women were taking synthetic hormones (HRT) when the news broke. And the Women's Health Initiative, a prestigious, long-term study of 16,000 women, had to stop three years earlier than planned, leaving millions of women unsure what to do next.

But there is good news. Women can use all natural remedies for their hot flashes, insomnia, heart disease, osteoporosis, low libido, and vaginal dryness-without risking serious side effects. Natural Menopause Remedies uncovers the truths and myths about nature's remedies, including foods, herbs, supplements, lifestyle changes, and alternative techniques. Based on clinically proven evidence drawn from thorough research, this book reveals which natural remedies work, how they work, and how to use them. With the information in this book, women can implement a personalized plan for their specific symptoms.

5.0 out of 5 stars The truth about menopause cures, April 29, 2004

By 

Jane Barton (Santa Ana, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Natural Menopause Remedies: Which Drug-Free Cures Really Work (Paperback)

This book was truly inspiring. Instead of giving us the same bunch of hogwash about all the things that might help you through menopause, it lists only the things that have been clinically proven with good scientific studies. And the author manages to get this complex (and important) information across with lots of warmth and personal presence. You really feel like you're in her living room talking to her about what really helps get rid of hot flashes or insomnia or a lack of sex drive -- not just what we've already read about over and over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Read and To The Point, May 10, 2004

By 

Kristen (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Natural Menopause Remedies: Which Drug-Free Cures Really Work (Paperback)

I loved this book because it was so easy to read and right to the point. It didn't beat around the bush with a lot of "maybe" and "perhaps" quallifiers - it just told you what works for different symptoms of menopause. It didn't recommend everything, just the supplements or other alternate approaches that science says really work. I've read lots of books on menopause, and this was by far the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book that really works!, September 8, 2004

By 

Dr. M "M" (LA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Natural Menopause Remedies: Which Drug-Free Cures Really Work (Paperback)

This well-written, conversational and sensible book provides helpful advice for the perimenopausal woman. Addressing each of the major areas affected by menopause (hormonal, cardiovascular, cognitive/emotional, bone health), Ms. Taylor provides sound, referenced explanations and explores intervention options with the reader including evaluations of efficacy and safety. This book is the Honest Herbal of non-pharmaceutical menopause therapies. I whole-heartedly recommend it not only to women approaching/undergoing menopause, but to their families as well. Additionally, it is an excellent resource for health care practitioners working in the area of women's health who would like to offer their patients non-pharmaceutical intervention options.
