Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hormonal problems that are prevalent among women of all ages have many causes, including family and occupational stress, dietary habits, and our chemical environment. These problems are particularly amenable to herbal and nutritional treatment, but they are also multifactorial and sometimes subtle. The interplay of hormonal receptors and natural products is becoming ever better known, as is the role of these receptors in conditions as diverse as breast cancer and polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS. It is not always easy to make sense of this information, however, and its sheer abundance can be quite overwhelming. The purpose of this book is to give a concise overview of the principles of treatment for hormonal conditions in women that are of direct practical benefit in practice. Geared toward prospective, new, and experienced herbal practitioners, it aims to provide a clear working knowledge of the hormonal basis of gynaecological problems to help herbalists form practical, straightforward treatment plans that can be easily documented and explained to patients. Having a clear, therapeutic rationale motivates patients to participate fully in their treatment, understand what is happening as it progresses, and remain in treatment long enough to see its full benefit.

Book excerpt: For herbalists at all levels, this book presents recent insights into the hormonal basis of gynaecological problems in order to enable practitioners to devise effective treatment plans and explain them clearly to their patients. Female hormones are comprehensively explained - from the metabolism and role of oestrogen in health and disease to the role of progesterone and herbal influences on its production.

These principles are applied to treatment and case management of gynaecological problems, with detailed examinations of PMS and menopause. Specific herbs used in gynaecological treatment are categorised by their constituents and actions.
