Dr. Nancy Lonsdorf's book, A Woman's Best Medicine for Menopause is a timely and profoundly satisfying resolution to the grave concerns raised today about prolonged use of hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Lonsdorf, M.D. contends that menopause can be experienced as a gentle and natural transition to a new fulfilling and healthy stage of life. A highly regarded Ayurvedic physician and medical director of the Raj, one of the premier Ayurvedic health centers in the United States, she has extensive clinic experience in the efficacy of one of the world's original, time-tested, and most complete systems of medicine. Dr. Lonsdorf details a simple, sensible program for the prevention and relief of menopausal symptoms without ever having to take recourse to any potentially life-threatening drugs. Her logic is unassailable and the breadth of understanding she provides the reader can only restore now shaken confidence in our own intelligence and our inherent ability to make wise decisions about our health.First and foremost, this is a useful book, a highly readable and practical manual for our own best health care. The book is organized progressively giving us a sound basis of understanding at each step. Before we know it the principles and rules of healthful living become internalized and are so consonant with our own intuitive knowledge of how to live rightly, new life-promoting habits spring up in our daily routine spontaneously.The book awakens a deep appreciation for the glorious intelligence of our bodies and the overarching care nature gives to every part and particle of creation when undisturbed by shortsighted medical intervention. Respect is a most elevating emotion.
