Review

Natural Choices for Woman’s Health is a treasure trove of practical information that is guaranteed to improve or maintain your health and may even save your life. I highly recommend this book.” —Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause

“I wish this wonderful book had been available when I was on my search for better health and vitality three decades ago. Dr. Steelsmith’s inspirational personal story is a powerful foundation for her wise guidance. Her astute blending of the philosophies and therapies of Eastern and Western natural medicine provides remarkable insight not available anywhere else.” —Dr. Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., President Emeritus, Bastyr University, and coauthor of Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine and How to Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine

Natural Choices for Women’s Health offers an enlightening and clear direction for the navigation toward health by women of all ages. It offers a very practical and rational approach to the many health challenges women face.” —Dr. Michael T. Murray, N.D., coauthor of Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine and How to Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine

Product Description

Are you unhappy relying on antibiotics for every illness, painkillers for menstrual cramps, and caffeine just to feel “normal”? Are you fed up with an endless cycle of colds, flus, headaches, digestive problems, and fatigue? Do you want to experience freedom from menopausal hormone fluctuations and hot flashes? Natural Choices for Women’s Health explores these issues and many more, offering a groundbreaking resource for women who want to approach health naturally.

Outlining a Naturally Healthy Lifestyle that enhances the body’s own health-sustaining abilities, Steelsmith identifies ten crucial components of a woman’s health—the immune system, kidneys, liver, digestive system, heart, hormones, bones, breasts, pelvis, and mental health—and provides dozens of tips to help maintain peak condition. In this resource you will discover:

•How to balance your hormones with natural medicine

•A list of “Best Breast Foods” and other tips to enhance your breast health

•Ancient methods for increasing your libido with Chinese herbal medicine

•How exercise can promote the balance of yin and yang in your body

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK REALLY CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE!!!, July 10, 2005
By Maryl Williams (St. Paul, Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Natural Choices for Women's Health: How the Secrets of Natural and Chinese Medicine Can Create a Lifetime of Wellness (Paperback)
OK, I must confess, at first I was a bit skeptical when I read the endorsements for this book. Especially the quote on the cover by Dr. Christian Northrup. I wondered if her comments might be over the top, and if the book could live up to such high praise. But I was not disappointed. What she says is true: this book is not only guaranteed to improve your health, it can literally save your life!! This is because what the book has to offer can prevent all kinds of health problems that ultimately can kill you. In step by step detail it shows you exactly how to put your life on a completely different course.

I'm a long time fan of health books, I've read many, and this is the best written overall guide I've found yet. It is just what I've been looking for. At last, a book about health that really speaks to me, and opens up the discussion about health to a larger view. It's written in an accessible and reader friendly style. The only thing I didn't like about the book is that it is only 400 pages. I wanted more!!! OK, maybe not everyone is going to save their life by reading it, but every reader is bound to discover plenty to like in this book, and improve their health, and change their life for the better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book., August 3, 2005
By Wendy (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Natural Choices for Women's Health: How the Secrets of Natural and Chinese Medicine Can Create a Lifetime of Wellness (Paperback)
A wonderful book. I love the Chinese medicine here. It is organized in a way that allows you to look at one area of your body at a time. I really like this approach because I will return to it as I improve my health and take care of each part of my health , little by little. I like the first chapter the best so far. I think it really inspired me to make a lot of changes, look at the way I am doing a lot of things in my life that I could do differently. The nice thing about this book is that if you can't remember all the advice you can look it up when you need it. The things I will look up later as I need them are the parts about "what to do for a common cold", "how to treata flu ", et cetera. It has many lists of all the amounts of vitamins and herbs that you need to take, for many conditions. Tons of good infornation. The book is the newest addition to my "essential home library".
