I have a great book all women should read as it is a
natural approach to healthcare and it is by Cyndi Gilbert, ND and called The Essential Guide to Women's Herbal Medicine.
Botanical medicine
is one of the main therapies employed by naturopathic doctors, and many women
are now turning to natural remedies for treating and preventing health
problems, either as an alternative or as a complement to conventional health
care. This pursuit of optimum health care can often be confusing and
overwhelming because of the wide range of information that is available.
Gilbert
provides clear information on herbal medicine treatments that meet the
distinctive needs of women. There are 25 topics covered, from anemia and
Dysmenorrhea to pregnancy, menopause and endometriosis. A complete profile for
49 herbs is featured with the corresponding condition or ailment it treats
along with an easy-to-follow protocol.
Every herb
can be found in a local pharmacy or health food store, and special instructions
are included for the safety of each herb with potential adverse effects and
drug interactions. The easy-to-understand format combined with the most current
research information available; make this an indispensable guide for women.
My Opinion:
I really found this book interesting and I am more into natural medicine opposing
taking pills. I learned some things I plan on trying and see if they work for me and if they do I
will continue as doctors I have seen in the past do not offer natural
approaches to me.

I was in no way compensated for this review and this is solely my own opinion
