A Woman's Complete Guide to Natural Health 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. Most ailments get just one to three pages because of the number of conditions covered. Still, 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. Bibliographical notes are included. It would have been helpful to offer recommended resources, particularly useful Web sites. The book is useful for women who want to pursue natural remedies and need a place to start. --Joan Price, Amazon.com
