1.Substitute Estrogen with Laughter
===================================

Can laughter help the declining levels of estrogen during
menopause?

Try a new type of HRT - Humor Replacement Therapy.

Minnie Pauz can tell you how to get this and more!

Her tag line "if you don't get it - you ain't there yet" puts a
smile on the face of ladies who are there - because its difficult
to find words to define the experiences of menopause.

Minnie Pauz is the brain child of cartoonist Dee Adams. Her
website (Minnie Pauz's site) offers excellent information like articles on bio-identical hormones, recommended book lists, chat rooms, and funny cartoons.

She highlights the work of menopausal experts like Susan Love MD,
Suzanne Somers, and Susun Weed (what is it with these
'Susan''s?).

Next week - one of these Susans. . .Susun Weed, A Wise Woman
Herbalist...is coming to our Home Spa Lady community to speak
with us LIVE from her forest (I just said that - I don't know if
she really lives in a forest, but I just picture her that way).

Here is a link to a page on Minnie Pauz's site where you can find
articles by Susun Weed, author of "Menopause the Wise Woman Way": Minnie Pauz's site


Here is where you can get more info on Susun Weed's appearance to
our Home Spa Lady community and how you can register for this event.

Even if you can't make the date - register anyway - you will get
the disc mailed directly to you!


Here are some of the things I will be asking her about:


--How to naturally deal with flashes and flushes

--How to view normal bodily changes such as:

-dryness
-hairy issues
-emotional swings
-dizziness
-sleep disturbances
-headaches

--Information to empower your decision on whether or not to take
hormones.

--What herbs can do for menopausal symptoms if you do decide to
take herbs instead of hormones.

--Which herbs to use for symptoms of menopause so you can easily
go to your health food store and have the remedy in minutes.

--Whether to use dried loose bulk herbs or herbs pre-packaged in
containers, and why.

--What herbal remedies you can make at home so you can have your
natural pharmacy on your kitchen counter.
