Book Description

Understanding and Treating Hot Flashes in Menopause with Chinese Medicine is the first book in history to be written on the subject. This book combines Chinese medicine concepts with current Western medicine frameworks of science and understanding of patho-mechanisms for a contemporary treatment approach to hot flashes in menopause. Dr Grosam explores both Western biomedicine - including the roles of estrogen and neurotransmitters - and Chinese medicine historical theory to provide an up-to-date understanding of hot flashes and menopausal transition. Exploring current treatments in Western medicine as well as acupuncture and herbs, he presents a complete evaluation of how modern treatment strategies can be improved through an integrated approach. Allowing for a deeper understanding of the causes of hot flashes in menopause, this book opens doors to fresh approaches and treatment strategies for women's healthcare practitioners from both branches of medicine.

Book Description

One of Canada's most trusted and beloved health practitioners introduces American women to the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine and the time-tested practices that have helped optimize physical and emotional health for centuries. Since establishing her practice in Canada twelve years ago, Dr. Xiaolan Zhao has treated thousands of women suffering from fatigue, PMS, infertility, depression, cancer, menopausal symptoms and other gynecological disorders - health problems that are all too common in the West but less so in China, where traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been an integral part of women's lives for thousands of years. As a physician originally trained in Western medicine who later took up the practice of TCM, Dr. Zhao has seen how effective the Chinese approach is for her patients, and her book will help American women incorporate its wisdom and practices in our lives. Sharing stories from her own life and the lives of her patients, Dr. Zhao shows that we have nothing to reject about our feminine selves, and explains how we can develop new relationships with our bodies and our emotions. There is so much every woman can do in terms of ongoing and preventative self-care to improve her health and vitality and prevent illness. By making simple changes in diet, exercise routine, sex life and the way we deal with stress and our emotions, we can profoundly improve our health now and into the future.
