From Publishers WeeklyKnown to viewers of HBO’s Sex and the City as the doctor Charlotte consults on fertility, Ni (Secrets of Longevity) is a 38th-generation doctor of established Chinese medicine (TCM) who exercises acupuncture in Southern California. Based on the Chinese conception of rebirth, or second spring, offered to women at midlife, Ni’s program for treating menopausal sensations or changes and preventing age-related sickness is a battery of multitasking foods, herbs and supplements; dietary guidelines; stress-relieving strategies; beauty treatments; brain exercises; and tips on creating a healthful environment. Drawing contrasts amid Eastern and Western protocols, Ni introduces the Chinese elementary constitutional types to help readers personalize regimes. His DIY arsenal includes acupressure, qi gong and tai chi, herbal tonics, meditation and color therapy. Divided into concise, one-page sections, chapters address holistically specific distinct elements of midlife change. Readers seeking simple, effective natural treatments for menopause and beyond have a windfall here and will gain by using it with such necessary volumes as Barbara Seaman’s No-Nonsense Guide to Menopause.
