Menopause and Homeopathy

As women grapple with the issue of whether hormone replacement therapy is necessary for them, they need a greater understanding of what the body is undergoing in menopause. Dr. Ifeoma Ikenze, an M.D. and a homeopath, writes from her experience of treating women daily in her Northern California practice. She explains the changes that begin to occur in the female body after thirty-five, and how homeopathy can help.

Using patient cases as examples, Dr. Ikenze shows how physical, emotional, professional, and spiritual problems can challenge one's health and self-image. She incorporates the latest medical reserach and addresses the spiritual and emotional challenges of menopause, which most physicians overlook. | "We can't just put our feet up and rest when menopausal symptoms hit. We need safe, effective solutions so we can be in top form physically, mentally, and emotionally. The solution many women are turning to is homeopathy."
