Summary: worth every penny
Review: if you buy just one menopause book, this is THE one to get. The Herbal Menopause Book includes much good information not only about the herbs and formula combinations but includes a wealth of knowledge on the entire process of menopause. Amanda simply yet thoroughly explains the transformation womens bodies undergo during this incredible time of life. Sound nutritional advise and "wise food choices" are listed under each condition. Amanda also dedicates a whole chapter to the issue of HRT, and how to come off it safely with the use of herbal medicine. The book is not just an herbal - it is filled with widsom and wit all underscored by Amanda's flair for empowering women of all types and ages.

Filled with humor, insight, good science, and years of practical herbal knowledge and application, The Herbal Menopause Book helped me and will help you to understand the physical and emotional complexity of menopause. This is a terrific book to introduce the concept of wholistic therapy to both the novice and the experienced healthcare provider. Some may be put off by her light tone, but you get the feeling she really loves what she does, which is helping women. Why bother with health fads when there are qualified herbalists like Ms. McQuade Crawford, and indispensable books like this one.
