Editorial Reviews

Review
All Women Are Healers: A Comprehensive Guide To Natural Healing is a survey of the role of women in alternative medicine with its emphasis on personal one-on-one approaches to the healing process too long dominated by traditional western medical practices with its emphasis on impersonal technologies and assembly line medicine. Women approach healing from a holistic, life-style preventive emphasis. All Women Are Healers also surveys the use of stones and crystals, reiki, chinese healing and acupressure, reflexology, pendulums, kinesiology, vitamins, minerals, herbs, homeopathy, flower remedies, and gem elixirs. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Healing is not the sole providence of the white and wealthy, September 6, 2001

By A Customer

In the New Age world which caters to the upper classes, Ms. Stein's work stands out as one which does not. Rather, she validates the individual's exploration and practice of the healing arts. In her chapter entitled, "The Ancient Art of Reiki and Laying on of Hands", Diane Stein writes, "The information is not exclusive to the Christian God, to the Reiki Master, or to the woman who has $150-10,000-it is there for the taking by anyone who wants to learn it." There for the taking. That was what I was seeking when I came across this book. Certification, licensure, and regulation may feed pockets, but healing falls under no human's jurisdiction and Ms. Stein makes her point, and encourages us to heal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, well-rounded resource, November 4, 2000

By A Customer

I've have had and used this book for the past 10 years (since publication). It is the first book that I reach for when looking up a problem or a remedy. This book is a necessary resource in any woman's healing library, no matter how extensive your library may be.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great, but could it be any more separtist?, August 23, 1999

By A Customer

If you can get past all the separtist language in this book, you can find all sorts of good advice on natural healing techniques. I have practiced some of them, and they work wonderfully...I recommend it to anyone wanting to get into natural healing, if you can get past all the separtist language and the hostility she displays towards men
