"Women's Herbs Women's Health" is a great resource for all women that would like to know how to use herbs to treat their most common ailments.
The authors start out with some general information on herbs, their history, and how to prepare them. Then they go over women's hormones and what you can do to stay balanced. After that, it gets a little more specific, with an individual chapter for almost every common female problem, namely:
- Mood Disorders
- PMS
- Menstruation
- Anemia
- Urinary Tract Infections
- Vaginal Infections
- STDs
- Cervical Dysplasia
- Endometriosis
- Fibroids and Cysts
- Menopause
- Osteoporosis
- Heart Disease
- Pregnancy and Birth
Each chapter goes over the symptoms and causes, and then explains how a medical doctor would treat the problem. After that you learn how you can treat yourself with dietary changes, supplements and most importantly herbs. I especially liked that there were a lot of tincture and aromatherapy recipes included. It's just very rewarding to make your own herbal medicine.
This book is so packed full with useful information, that I still discover something new every time I open it up. I just wouldn't want to be without it.… (altro)
