Synopsis

The only popular holistic medical guide for  women, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom  is the long-awaited, much-needed, unique,  practical and philosophical approach to healing that  empowers women to take control of their physical and  emotional health. As radically feminist as  Our Bodies, Ourselves was in its day,  Dr. Northrup's guide cites dramatic and affecting  cases of women healing from long-term illnesses  through alternative medical methods, and gives  groundbreaking mind-body guidance. This revolutionary  book combines curing with caring, knowledge with  intuition, and demonstrates that physical healing is  inseparable from spiritual healing. It  authoritatively and compassionately guides readers through an  A to Z list of women's conditions from fibroids,  menstruation, and vaginitis to cancer,  hysterectomy, and menopause.

About this title

Review:

Northrup explores the mind/body connection from a personal, entirely female perspective. She presents the facts about the female body, its strengths and illnesses, in a clear, intelligent and caring way. She teaches us to look deep inside ourselves and heal the emotional scars that contribute to physical problems. Finally, Northrup shows ways to change the attitudes that created those scars.
