Learn how to holistically ease your symptoms throughout perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause with this comprehensive, research-based handbook.
While conventional Western medicine encourages menopausal and postmenopausal women to treat their symptoms using hormone replacement therapy (HRT), expert medical herbalist Amanda McQuade argues that natural, herbal-based remedies, combined with a nutritionally balanced diet, exercises, aromatherapy, and visualizations, can be just as—if not more—effective at safely balancing a woman’s hormones during these stages of her life.
In The Natural Menopause Handbook, McQuade provides fifty herbal therapies for tinctures and teas that can:
• Increase metabolism
• Boost libido
• Support bone and joint health
• Brighten skin
• Provide cardiovascular support
• Ease cold and flu symptoms
• And much more!
Along the way, she presents a clear, science-based overview of common symptoms, explains the curative properties of more than 45 herbs, and offers nutritional advice to combat specific ailments. With helpful images, easy-to-follow instructions for brewing the perfect tea and making extracts and oils, and appendices on creating your own custom herbal formulas and starting an herbal home medicine chest, The Natural Menopause Handbook is an invaluable resource for any woman throughout the stages of this natural transition.
