Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom : Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing
this book was given to me by my good friend Sue Williams...Thank You
Here
for Audio Cassette!Quite possibly every female over the age of 12 will find this huge book enlightening, pain saving, and perhaps even lifesaving. Think of it as a much more empowering and holistic Our Bodies, Ourselves. Northrup is a gynecologist who acknowledges the power of natural therapies and herbs, but also maintains that allopathic treatments, including surgery, are sometimes best. In Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, she covers the treatment of many physical concerns--among them PMS, menstrual cramps, breast cancer, fibroids, endometriosis, infertility, depression, childbirth, abortion, cystitis, and menopause -- explaining how many of these physical problems have roots in emotional upsets. For example, a woman who is unhappy with her marriage may be infertile because deep down, she knows that her husband is not the right man to have children with; a teenager who has cramps may be having problems accepting society's expectations of her as a woman.

This small book is a practical reference to many of the herbs you hear about every day and some more obscure herbs.
Aromatherapy A-Z
by Connie Higley, Pat Leatham, Alan Higley
Essential oils, the authors maintain, are very powerful healing agents that detoxify the blood in the human body. This well-organized guide tells readers which combinations of oils are the most beneficial for treating a variety of illnesses and physical problems naturally.
Another small book by the same publishers with a simple organization. While I'm not sold on the healing powers of these oils, I've always been soothed by aromas.

women, this comprehensive book covers a myriad of female physical and emotional concerns.

I especially liked the pragmatic and soothing text style. The facts are there, but secondary to discussing women's needs, problems and alternatives.

R.Ph. sog3@worldnet.att.net , August 20, 1998
The demand for information about natural health and wellness has climbed to stratospheric
heights. This book contains many of the most commonly used AND tested herbs that are on
our planet. Documented scientific studies are included with each herb to show their cause
and effect. I hope that you will find my book both entertaining and useful as a reference
on which herb and dosage to use for many of the most common health problems that exist
today. I welcome your comments.
We haven't been able to get a copy of Steve's book yet, but since he participates on our discussion list, we thought we would list it here for him.
