Maggie, I don't know why I didn't mention this earlier. For what you are going through there is no better book than Susan S. Weed's Menopausal Years the Wise Woman Way. The menopause "bible" for 350,000 women who've chosen strong bones and healthy hearts without recourse to hormones. A treasure trove of accessible, reliable, non-drug remedies. You can see inside if you look at it at Amazon. That's where I learned about the tinctures I used.

I thought I was to have Morgan this afternoon, but Gary is home so I may try to finish the jewellery table and my desk this afternoon, though a new book I am reading is really tempting.:-)
