BOOK
REVIEW: A
Woman's Best Medicine for Menopause
-
want
a smooth, tension-free, drug-free and hormone-free approach
to menopause
-
are
taking HRT but feel uneasy about it
-
are
curious about "natural" menopause healing but
don't know where to begin then Nancy Lonsdorf's new book
is a look-no-further guide for you.
Trained
in both cutting-edge medicine (she graduated from the prestigious
Johns Hopkins Institute) and experienced in healing with
Maharishi Ayurveda (she is medical director of the Raj,
America's premier Ayurvedic center); Nancy Lonsdorf is uniquely
qualified to guide women on the subject of menopause-discussing
both modern and ancient ways to deal with this crucial phase
of a woman's life.
The
book begins with the assertion that menopause can and should
be seen as a period of great liberation, not a mistake Nature
made. That is why, says Dr. Lonsdorf, " an extra hormone,
drug, vitamin, or herb is not the best way to effectively
manage the symptoms of menopause or your health. These isolated
magic bullets may help in one area of your body, but they
tend to disturb in another ... there is a better way, a
safer and longer-lasting approach that harnesses your body's
homeostatic, self-balancing mechanisms to reestablish the
inner health that Nature meant you to enjoy. "In 280
enlightening pages, Lonsdorf's book answers the following
vital questions:
-
-
What
are the different menopause-easing approaches available
today. Here, she talks about the pros and cons of HRT,
wild yam creams and tablets, "natural hormones"
and food concentrates.
-
How
you can experience a smooth menopause using the safe,
practical, and life-changing Maharishi Ayurveda approach.
The
beauty of the book lies in the fact that its recommendations
can help you heal more than menopause problems. Lonsdorf
discusses feminine health in its entirety: by explaining
how to discover your unique individual body-type, helping
you pin down your specific imbalances, telling you ways
to correct those imbalances, and thus helping you reawaken
your natural healing powers without aid from artificial
tools.
Dr. Lonsdorf's introduction of the three body-types: Vata,
Pitta, and Kapha, and her advice on how to balance them,
are written in an easy, friendly style that will appeal
to everyone-newcomers as well as physicians. The case studies
quoted at regular intervals help personalize the advice
as well as lend dramatic interest to the text.
There's more. Throughout the book, you will find hundreds
of practical tips that will help you:
-
Break
free of HRT and other side-effect-laden treatments.
-
Keep
your skin glowing in the menopause years and beyond.
-
Detoxify
through diet and lifestyle.
-
Transform
the menopause blues into bliss using, among other methods,
the Transcendental Meditation® technique, panchakarma,
and sound-therapy.
The
biggest success of the book is in its promise of being able
to change the way you think, feel, and experience life-whatever
your age. That's what makes it the evergreen guide that
it is.
