"For practitioner seeking a basic introduction to integrative
medicine as it relates to women, this is a good starting guide. The
book covers lifestyle contributors to health and wellness
(nutrition, dietary supplements, physical activity, mind-body
therapies), world systems and philosophies related to disease
(traditional Chinese medicine, energy medicine, homeopathy),
reproductive health (premenstrual syndrome, the role of stress in
infertility,
chronic pelvic pain, menopause), and common illnesses in women
(urinary tract infections, headaches, anxiety, eating disorders,
osteoporosis). Concise sectioning of information in the chapters
and good tables are the highlight of this book. There is much
innovative information as it relates to the mind-body connection in
health."--Doody's
"Integrative Women's Health resonates with warmth, care, and
empathy, from the foreword by series editor Andrew Weil, MD, to the
editors' introductory chapter and epilogue, and throughout the
contributing authors' chapters...Written by women, primarily for
women, this book provides a powerful and practical set of
guidelines for an integrative, celebratory, whole person approach
to women's health." --HerbalGram
