Overcoming the Menopause Naturally

Overcoming the Menopause Naturally by Caroline Shreeve

No woman looks forward to the menopause, but it is a natural process, not a disease, and as Overcoming the Menopause Naturally explains, there are natural ways of coping with any unpleasant symptoms. After explaining in simple terms the changes that take place, Dr Shreeve goes on to dispel as a myth the idea that the menopause means frustration, misery and loss of attractiveness. She describes it instead as an important milestone that marks a stage of physical and emotional maturity and the beginning of the prime of a woman's life. Her advice on the use of alternative therapies such as naturotherapy, herbal medicine and relaxation techniques will appeal to any woman who wants to avoid the side-effects of artificial hormones.

Caroline Shreeve was born in Huntingdon in 1943 and qualified as a doctor at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington. She then practiced as a hospital doctor and as a GP in Britain and in South Africa, later turning her knowledge to the pursuit of medical journalism. Following a symposium on evening primrose oil in 1981 she became interested in the application of herbal medicine. She also trained with the National Council of Psychotherapists as a hypnotherapist. In her work as a physician and hypnotherapist she has specialized in women's emotional problems and is therefore uniquely qualified to tackle the subject of the menopause. In addition to her London degree she is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine and a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians. She is also a contributor to a number of periodicals which include Over 21, Company and She magazine.
