We are all too familiar with its symptoms:
hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, irritability, sleeplessness,
and more. While menopause triggers many physical and emotional changes,
it also brings forth spiritual issues that, for many women, mark
a redefinition of the feminine self. To address the total impact
of menopause, Gabriele Kushi has created a supportive, practical,
and personal guide to dealing with this time in a woman's life.
The author first provides a clear understanding
of the overall process of menopause, from biological changes to
emotional and spiritual challenges. She then goes on to offer research-based
nutritional guidelines that can help relieve and overcome menopausal
symptoms, as well as healthful kitchen-tested recipes based on a
natural foods diet. However, it is the stories and portraits of
twenty menopausal women that are at the heart and soul of the book.
In their own words, these beautiful women share their diverse experiences
with the reader. They relate their backgrounds, discuss their children
and grandchildren, and detail how and when they noticed their first
menopausal symptoms, as well as what they did to alleviate them.
Some turned to their traditional cultural rituals for affirmation
of this phase of life, while others sought alternative or conventional
medicine. The reader learns how the passage affected each woman's
quality of life and how she ultimately expressed her new self.
Embracing Menopause Naturally is a true
companion for any woman who wants to nurture her own spiritual growth,
adopt a natural foods diet, and enjoy good health throughout the
midlife years and beyond.
