The menopause can bring about mysterious and unwelcome changes for every woman who reaches middle age. Brittle bones, hot flushes and depression are just a few of the distressing symptoms by which the change of life can manifest itself. Jan de Vries has more four decades of experience in treating these and other symptoms of the menopause. He provides clear explanations of the changes which take place in a woman's body and, by advocating a common-sense approach based on natural medicine, he offers an effective alternative to treatments such as hormone replacement therapy whose potentially damaging side-effects are a cause for concern for many women. Menopause is a practical and down-to-earth addition to the Well Woman Series.
Research carried out over the past decade indicates that women are suffering more than ever from problems connected with menstrual and pre-menstrual tension. Many dread the monthly cycle which can impose a complete change of character, with even the most well-balanced of women being subjected to erratic mood swings and depression. Advocating the holistic approach, with emphasis on a low-stress diet and natural remedies with vitamin, mineral and trace element therapy, Jan de Vries shows how to overcome the ups and downs of the menstrual cycle.
