More
and more women are seeking nondrug alternatives to
synthetic hormones and their dangerous side effects. In
this revised and expanded third edition, Raquel Martin
offers the most up-to-date information on how botanical
progesterone therapy can provide safe, natural relief for
many of the problems women face from hormone deficiency,
including PMS, menstrual irregularity, miscarriages,
uterine fibroids, infertility, depression, and
fibromyalgia.
Botanical progesterone supplementation is also extremely
effective in relieving hot flashes, insomnia, night
sweats, vaginal dryness, and other symptoms of menopause.
The authors sift through the often confusing spate of
studies on hormone replacement therapy and guide readers
to natural alternatives. The book also offers advice on
how to work with a sympathetic physician and provides
mail-order sources for botanical progesterone. |
