Finally, we reach the conclusion of the fertile period of life, first peri-menopause and then menopause. This brings us back to the issue of balancing hormones. This is a deeply challenging time, both psychologically and physically. Then there are issues of aging: drying out of mucosa and skin.

Everyone interested in this subject must catch this assemblage of three highly experienced herbalists with over 100 years of clinical experience between them.
We cover the topics of menarche, menstruation, pregnancy, lactation, menopause, and everything in-between (except fertility--handled in another class), but it will do so from several different perspectives. It goes without saying that three herbalists will have three perspectives, but beyond that, we are referring to (1) analysis in terms of hormones, (2) analysis in terms of tissues (ligaments, mucosa, muscles, pelvic floor, etc.), and (3) the relationship between the immune system, sympathetic and reproductive function. Female reproductive cancers will largely not be discussed here.
