5.0 out of 5 stars A Compassionate Reference Guide to Ayurveda, January 23, 2001

By	Christine MacDonald (United States) - See all my reviews

Written with sincere effort to educate and spread Ayurvedic knowledge to other women, this is a book I come back to again and again. A thorough and easy-to-read guide for women on all levels of the mind, body and emotions. This book is written clearly and compassionately by women, and it surpasses all other Ayurvedic books in its accessibility to the reader. No "shoulds" or finger-pointing here. Just clear explanations and a joy to read. I use this book as an excellent reference, as well as a source of comfort and validation in my own personal experiences as a woman.

5.0 out of 5 stars a treasure of medical information embracing the WHOLE person, September 24, 1999

By A Customer

this book is a wonderful treatise on health and wholeness - for BOTH sexes. unlike much of modern medicine, it addresses not only the health and well-being of the body but the essential link with the emotions and spirit, through a detailed and easy to understand explanation of the principles of the ancient (and very current) science of Ayurveda.

a MUST read for anyone interested in health and wholeness (ie., everyone)

5.0 out of 5 stars important information, July 27, 2005

By	P. Emery (Western Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A Woman's Best Medicine is one of the most uplifting and important books I have ever read.I read it some years ago and have just reviewed it which prompted me to buy several more copies to hand out on loan, to women I care about. It's easy to read, easy to follow and I wish all women had a copy! I have already begun to benefit healthwise, both in a physical sense and in an emotional one, from implementing some of the deeply wise but essentially simple advice. Bless the author.
