Women have had an affinity for healing with herbs for centuries. Now they have a wonderful new resource that connects Chinese and Western herbs with conventional medicine: Women's Herbs, Women's Health. The book is written by two distinguished, practicing herbalists, Christopher Hobbs and Kathi Keville, who have more than 60 combined years of experience in the field of medicinal herbs.

In Women's Herbs, Women's Health, the authors thoroughly discuss 14 of the most common health problems facing women today, including PMS, urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted diseases, mood disorders, osteoporosis, menopause, cervical dysplasia, and heart disease. They define the conditions, explain the conventional medical approaches, and offer suggestions for natural healing that encompass diet and lifestyle changes, supplements, herbal remedies, and aromatherapy. The information is in-depth, current, useful, easy-to-understand, and written in a sensitive manner. Beautifully illustrated and designed, this book is a pleasure to read and use and will be a welcome addition to any woman's health library. --Ellen Albertson
