Yes, the disruption of the menstrual cycle happens frequently in women who change over to macrobiotics. It should not last long but can, on occassion cease for up to a year if there are major problems with female sex organs or if diet is to rigid and/or salty.

That is why it is recommended to change over to macrobiotics slowly (gradual change is one of the three fundamental princliples outlined in the I Ching). If you find that your period has stopped fotr too long a period and you are getting uncomfortable you can try either black cohosh root tea or dong quai root tea a few times daily which will regulate hormones and promote menstruation.

In peace, Roy
