In this course, Sharon Weizenbaum will summarize her key insights in treating women suffering around menopausal changes after her more than forty years’ experience. What has really worked for her patients and what promised to work but didn’t? Sharon has integrated her gynecology teacher, Qiú Xiáomèi’s teaching with her study, insight, and experience with classical formulas. We will look at the common symptoms of vaginal dryness, hot flashes, insomnia, metabolism changes, and bone density concerns. Sharon will not only share her experience regarding herbs and formulas but also many insights about diagnostic keys to establishing a treatment method that works well. Throughout this class, Sharon will be teaching her perspective on the circular dynamics expressed in the Shāng Hán Zá Bìng Lùn and how they have helped her understanding of women’s physiology and pathology and the use of herbs and formulas. Students will leave with some fresh options for working with their aging women patients.
