And what of the strongest argument in favor of estrogen
replacement – that it can reduce bone loss? Several hundred thousand Chinese women appear
to refute that claim too.
Incidence of osteoporosis in China is low – without
the use of estrogen or even calcium-rich dairy products.

Western-trained physicians try to fool Mother Nature

PharmaBotanixx
has the alternative millions of women are seeking.
MENIXX, based on a 2,000 year old herbal formula for
the treatment of menopausal disturbances, contains tang-kuei,
the “female ginseng”, used for millennia by Asian women to
treat hot flashes, anemia, high blood pressure, and insomnia.
But just like the calcium-magnesium partnership, tang-kuei
can’t do it alone. Its effectiveness is enhanced by atractylodes,
traditionally used to combat edema, fatigue, restlessness,
and dizziness, and by bupleurum, long touted as an antidepressant.
You
have options: A sensible diet, exercise, calcium and magnesium
supplements, and a traditional, time-tested herbal formula
can give you strong, healthy bones…and the well-being to enjoy
using them!

is at its fullest. Since the kidneys govern reproductive and sexual functions, Chinese
medicine holds, the onset of menses is a dramatic
display of the kidneys’ health and vitality.

Reams of research
have been published over the past decade on the anti-fever
properties of bupleurum and its active ingredients.
New York physician, herbalist, and acupuncturist
Qing-cai Zhang obtained good results with a bupleurum-based
formula used to treat the menopausal symptoms of low-grade
fever, anxiety, irritability, night sweats, fatigue, and
insomnia. Zhang
employed other bupleurum formulas to treat irregular menstruation,
restlessness, nervousness, depression, and influenza-like
body aches. All
four formulas also contained tang-kuei, as does Menixx
– since these two herbs reinforce each other.
