Average Rating: Rating: - An excellent preparation and problem-solving guide An award finalist for ForeWord Magazine's Book of the Year, New Menopausal Years The Wise Woman Way: Alternative Approaches for Women 30-90 is an introduction to dealing with myriad problems resulting from menopause, preferrable without relying on medicines but rather natural nutritional remedies and supplements. Newly revised and expanded with 100 additional pages on thyroid health, problems with hair, fertility after forty, memory problems, fibromyalgia and more, New Menopausal Years is an excellent preparation and problem-solving guide that taps directly into the experience of women, for women. New Menopausal Years does not replace the diagnosis, prescriptions, or treatment of a professional doctor for serious health problems, but rather shines as a resource for preventative nutritional and herbal advice, and tips for alleviating common discomforts. Rating: - Menopause as Metamorphosis I teach workshops on yoga and menopause and this is one of the books I recommend most enthusiastically to women going through the Change. Susun Weed describes menopause as a metamorphosis, a complete change at the cellular level, when a woman changes from one person to another, similar to the dramatic change that occurs during puberty. Susun and other holistic healers who have studied the ancient women's mysteries remind us of the power and initiation potential of the two life events unique to women: menstruation and menopause. She views the menopausal years as the years of transformation from a potential mother to Wise Woman elder or crone. I read the first edition of this book during my perimenopausal years back in the 90's and now at age 55, officially on my postmenopausal journey, I continue to find little nuggets of wisdom that help me to honor and understand the profound changes my body and psyche are going through. Rating: - Susun Weed is a blessing to us all Susun has presented a clear guide for any womyn going through menopause. I had the oppertunity to read this book at a small shop in Michigan and bought presented it to my mother who was experiencing menopause. I would have to say that this book is truly needed in a world where quick fix white pills are the answer for most womyn. Maybe they too will discover this fine fine book.
