A Woman's Complete Guide to Natural Health by Lynne Paige Walker, Ellen Brown Hodgson A Woman's Complete Guide to Natural Health is a guide to natural healing for women that describes over 130 treatments for a variety of disorders and diseases. This guide aims to help women keep their bodies in balance using a variety of natural healing modalities. Lynne Paige Walker, pharmacist and expert in homeopathy, Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and medical writer Ellen Hodgson Brown discuss women's hormones and the problems with synthetic HRT, recommending plant hormone alternatives and naturopathic approaches to address the underlying causes of hormone imbalance and reduce toxic chemical and heavy-metal buildup. Most of the book is a compendium of 140 women's ailments, from acne to yeast infections, describing the shortcomings of conventional treatments and recommending natural remedies--Chinese medicine, herbs, flower essences, homeopathy and nutritional supplements. Due to the large number of ailments and conditions covered, there's plenty of information to digest. For high blood pressure, for example, the authors present data on the side effects and problematic results of hypertension medications, then recommend herbs such as hawthorn berry complex and dandelion leaf, homeopathy, nutritional supplements such as coenzyme Q-10 and relaxation techniques. The book is useful for women who want to pursue natural remedies and need a place to start. Product Details Paperback 432 pages (June 2003) Authored by Lynne P.
