Learn how to:

  • Treat a whole range of female health issues, from contraception to menopause, heart conditions to infections

  • Determine when you should seek a practitioner's help
  • And much more

Compassionate and authoritative, Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine demonstrates that an informed, integrative approach to staying well is often the best medicine.
