Abstract
At her first period a woman meets her wisdom. Menopause is a natural transition and when did human culture start thinking of menopause as a disease rather than a natural phase to be valued in a woman’s life? Having worked several hours in a health care instutiion and R & D center, I am very concerned with the number of women who specifically unhappy about hormone imbalances. When I probe deeper to understand and searched a literature and found they routinely dependable on allopathic doctors only, has told them they are having panic attacks rather than notice the natural correlation with their age and symptoms coinciding with perimenopause. Several women I obesered noticed have they are having complete hysterectomies due to the fact their periods were irregular during this perimenopause period and that they were also give antidepressants to curb the aiety and mood swings that came with perimenopause. Those were the only options besides continuing on birth control, which comes with significant side effects particularly for women over 40. Feeling a deep compassion for these women and approaching perimenopause in my own life, I began researching therapy to manage menopausal symptoms. The vast amount of research that should exist on this topic is minimal. Allopathic, additional and alternative therapy research was underwhelming at best, but optimistic for those integrative practitioners who are willing to focus on a significantly overlooked area of female medicine.
