This review is from: New Choices in Natural Healing for Women: Drug-Free Remedies from the World of Alternative Medicine (Hardcover)

This is one of the best books I have read for women looking for drug -free alternative remedies for almost any complaint from allergies, headaches, menopause, or menstrual problems to varicose veins. It is written in a clear, easy to understand fashion. The Board of Advisers are many of the top women doctors in the field of women's health.
