    Menopause: Mango Cheeks Or Cabbage Leaves?

    About this ebook

    This book is not intended to be a clinical account of menopause, rather a result of a survey I did with post menopausal women. These beautiful women gave me valuable information about their experiences both physical and emotional and highlighted many other idiosyncrasies that we would never have connected with menopause.
    This little book tells it how it is; not how the books say it is!
    It was written as a conversation with you, giving brief explanations of symptoms with suggestions which are ‘do-able.’ We often read great informative books but they can be hard to comply with. I think this is much easier.
    I believe that women are like Amazon warriors. Over a lifetime, our bodies experience many changes physically and emotionally with periods, contraception, pregnancy and giving birth, being many things to many people and then to cap it all off – menopause!
    Current society embraces youthfulness and fitness, and aging is not thought of as a positive thing. Menopause is most times regarded as a sign of old age.
    But we know better than that don’t we?

    Helen Quinn

    I am a herbalist by trade and experienced menopause with all its trials and tribulations. It does not seem fair that women have the emotional trials that go with periods, menopause and childbirth - must be because we are strong amazon creatures! This Menopause book was my first attempt at writing so please forgive the many literary errors!I did most of my writing from 2006 - 2014 when I travelled to Peru every year where i stayed in a small house in the Amazon Basin just 50mtrs from the river. I went to Peru to study the plant medicine and it was wonderful until my new friends systematically robbed me. When I had nothing left to steal, my personal safety was threatened which culminated in a shocking personal assault. I wrote about these years with total honesty and with my wicked sense of humour sharing my good times, my fearful times and my gut wrenching sad times. The memoir is called - 'Peru; The Beautiful, The Mystical and The Ugly'. I use a pseudonym for this book (Halle McQueen)It is available in e-book and soft cover versions from most book distributors such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble etc.. I am a herbalist by trade ( I have a Ba Complimentay Medicine and an Adv. Dip. in Western herbal Medicine) so I use a lot of plant medicine in my writing.

      INTRODUCTION

      This book is not intended to be a clinical account of menopause, rather a result of a survey I did with post menopausal women. These beautiful women gave me valuable information about their experiences both physical and emotional and highlighted many other idiosyncrasies that we would never have connected with menopause.

      This little book tells it how it is; not how the books say it is!

      It was written as a conversation with you, giving brief explanations of symptoms with suggestions which are ‘do-able.’ We often read great informative books but they can be hard to comply with. I think this is much easier.

      I believe that women are like Amazon warriors. Over a lifetime, our bodies experience many changes physically and emotionally with periods, contraception, pregnancy and giving birth, being many things to many people and then to cap it all off – menopause!

      Current society embraces youthfulness and fitness, and aging is not thought of as a positive thing. Menopause is most times regarded as a sign of old age.

      But we know better than that don’t we? Always remember – you are not like other women. You are unique, a one off! There is no other person on this planet exactly like you.

      So are the symptoms of menopause for every woman.

      I hope this little book will help you understand your particular menopause experience, offer support and give some advice on how to survive it.
