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.
