This book has changed my life
I bought this for my Mom for Christmas and i stole it for myself. I was reading through it before i wrapped it for her and it was too amazing to give away. The information is fantastic and it is very straight forward and easy to understand. I wish the author's practice wasn't in Hawaii so i could get in to see her, she is amazing. I highly recommend this to anyone who is tired of the endless cycles of medicines and feeling terrible, it is a release from modern medicine and a breath of fresh air.

Natural Choices for Women's Health ( tcm_books )
Natural Choices for Women's Health is a must have reference for all women. This book details a very complete list of common female health issues including everything from anxiety and breast cancer through fatigue and hot flashes to PMS and weight gain. In each of these cases, this book gives the reader ideas on what she can do to help alleviate these issues as well as medical resources available for dealing with these conditions.
Though I found these aspects helpful and appealing, the part of this book I was most impressed with was the assessment of health issues according to the five elements. At first, I thought that figuring out my element type was just a bit of fun, rather like determining my star sign. However, once I found my element type I started to realize the significance of this very important information. It seems that certain element types are more or less prone to certain afflictions. Moreover, the ways to treat imbalances need to be tailored to suit the person's element type.
My element type and associated health issues were dead on describing me in amazing detail, giving me tremendous insight into myself as well as health and medical information that I could actually use to make myself feel better.

Saw this book on CNN...
I saw this book recently on CNN and heard the author talking about it. I bought the book and must say I was not disappointed. This is just a fantastic book. It really delves into areas of natural health that other books on the topic just don't cover. For instance the area of breast health for women or the part about the health of the pelvis. There's just nothing out there that does such a fantastic job covering women's health as this book does. I am getting a tremendous amount out of this book. I give it an A plus, ten stars.

This book was introduced in a women's magazine ( ueskridge )
I first read about this book in a women's magazine. Several ailments were described and I tried the one where it was recommended to take Withanolides for Insomnia. I went and got the herb and the product that they talked about at my local Vitamin Shoppe store and that stuff really works!! I have tried several well known herbs who are suppossed to relax you and make you sleep better but this one is really the best. After that I bought the book and it's great. It's an easy read and gives Chinese medicine the attention it deserves. I recommend this book to everyone.
