Hormones in harmony

A kind guide to hormone therapy, in which the authors try to bridge the barriers between classical and alternative medicine. They have covered topics from PMS to fertility to menopause, complete with a range of diagnostic tests, advice and recipes.

The book was written through the collaboration of two women who deal with women's issues on a daily basis in their practice – gynecologists and biologists trained in naturopathy. A sweet, witty, and femininely written guide dealing with the symptoms of women's problems in their fertile and transitional periods. The great strength of the book is the fact that it does not make women victims of their situation or age, but instead gives them confidence in their own strength.

The book is further complemented by a selection of tasteful recipes and irresistible photographs taken with modest Nordic charm. The text is written in an easy-to-read form, just as a woman would welcome after a day's work. This guide, apart from expert advice, offers what a woman usually doesn't think about in her hustle – a sensitive approach that subtly puts her on a pleasant string and gives her a sense of belonging with other women in a similar situation. A woman thus ceases to be alone in the desperate labyrinth of demands placed on her, but learns to take her life role with perspective and humour.
