I have been suffering with hot flashes and night sweats for more than a year. I have been awake more hours at night than I have been asleep. I tried several over the counter remedies without success and desperately wanted to avoid hormone replacement therapy if possible. I attended an inservice at Winchester Hospital about complementary therapies. I spoke to Dr. Ali about my symptoms and she was encouraging.

I made a consultation appointment with Dr. Shah, the Ayurveda practitioner at Zanjabee. Dr. Shah formulated a personalized plan for me to follow. To my extreme amazement and delight I was hot flash and night sweat free 8 days after starting my regimen. I do not completely understand how it works but it does. I am learning so much after 32 years of practicing as a RN in “traditional” medicine. Ayurveda has been around for thousands of years. Certainly it has its place in helping us to be well. How fortunate we are to live in a world with both modern medical and alternative practices at our fingertips! I have recommended Drs Shah and Ali to my family and coworkers and feel extremely grateful to both of them. I forgot how great it is to get a good night’s sleep.
