Book Description

April 11, 1999

At least one-third of Americans use alternative medicines to heal and maintain health--75% of those consumers are women. Today, women are demanding their doctors have a willingness to explore and combine complementary and conventional medical practices in their approach to female health. The result is a bridge between the two schools of thought commonly known as integrated medicine which requires women to become proactive in their role as patient and provides a safe, effective approach to maintaining and healing their bodies.

Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine covers in depth the whole range of women's health concerns including menstrual difficulties, menopause, endometriosis, osteoporosis and others and explains how integrated medicine can be used to treat these conditions.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book available on natural medicine for women, September 7, 1999
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine (Paperback)
This is an exceptionally well-researched and well-written book covering the most common medical problems for women, how to prevent them and how to treat them the natural way. I am particularly impressed with the author's broad knowledge of biochemistry, medical conditions and her reliance on hard data from published studies. If you're tired of the side-effects of chemical drugs you'll find plenty of sound advice and alternative therapies backed up by scrupulous research. This is a great stand-alone volume on the subject but it also complements other books on women's medical conditions written from traditional medical viewpoints.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive Guide to Natural Remedies for Women, September 27, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine (Paperback)
After years of experiencing excruciating periods, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I have been searching for months to find natural alternatives to hormone therapy and another laparascopy. I found it in this book. It contains more information on endometriosis than any other resource I have looked through. It also provides thorough dietary suggestions and nutritional supplements. It offers an alternative to the more extreme therapies.

While I was looking to this book for a specific condition, it also contains a wealth of information on the various ailments that women suffer from, as well as suggestions for women's overall health.

I highly reccommend it to anyone looking to feel better, naturally.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not at all what I expected after reading these reviews., March 17, 2011
I have read several books on women's health. I was disappointed in this book after reading all these nice reviews, I had higher expectations. I have to say that "Healing Outside the Marigins: The Survivor's Guide to Integrative Cancer Care" by C. Hendricks, "Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine" by M. Murray and J. Pizzorno, "God's Medicine Is Best (herbs, vitamins and minerals)" by L. Wise or "The Natural Pharmacy: Complete Home Reference to Natural Medicine" by S. Lininger; these books give more practical information than Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine and by far turned out to be more helpful.
