Women's bodies, women's wisdom : creating physical and emotional health and healing
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Completely revised and updated for a new generation of health-conscious and empowered women, the New York Times bestselling guide to physical and emotional wellness for women 35 and up--from fertility, breast, and menstrual issues, to the best nutrition, treatments for fibroids, and hormone replacement therapies in perimenopause and menopause. First published in 1994, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom was an immediate national and international bestseller. Dr. Christiane Northrup quickly emerged as a trusted women's health expert, a visionary pioneer in women's health, and a leading proponent of medicine that acknowledges the unity of mind, body, emotions, and spirit. Since then, this book has remained the veritable bible of women's health information. Emphasizing the body's innate wisdom and ability to heal, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom covers the entire range of women's health concerns--from nutrition to fertility, sexuality to aging, hormone replacement therapy to gynecological issues. Now fully revised and updated to include the very latest treatment innovations and research data, and reflecting today's woman's proactive involvement in her own health care, this important new edition will help women everywhere enjoy vibrant health with far fewer medical interventions.
