This book combines Chinese medicine concepts with current Western medicine frameworks of science and understanding of patho-mechanisms for a contemporary treatment approach to hot flashes in menopause. Dr Grosam explores both Western biomedicine - including the roles of estrogen and neurotransmitters - and Chinese medicine historical theory to provide an up-to-date understanding of hot flashes and menopausal transition. 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.
