Customer Reviews

It really is EVERY woman's herbal!

From puberty to menopause and everything in between, just as the title says, this book is EVERY woman's herbal. Three years after Dr. Christopher died, his family found a manuscript he had been working on for a woman's herbal. So with the help Dr. Christopher's friend Cathy Gileadi, it was completed and published. Cathy's writing style is wonderfully entertaining and easy to read. There are personal stories entertwined with the information that make it more interesting.For such a small book, it is literally bursting with valuable herbal information. Naturally it covers puberty, pms, pregnancy, birth, and menopause, but it also covers other aliments such as flu, multiple sclerosis, gallstones, cysts, asthma, vision trouble, diabetes, hair loss, deafness, pyorrhea, weight problems, osteoporosis, headaches, emotional health, yeast infection, urinary infection, heart disease, and allergies. There is also a chapter on first aid. Indeed, this is more that a woman's herbal, in many ways it's a family herbal.I own several herb books, but my copy of "Every Woman's Herbal" is well worn because I refer to it frequently. When my daughters reach puberty they will each receive their own copy, which we will read and discuss together.Whether your 'herbal library' consists of two books or twenty, it will not be complete without this book!

This book gives just the information every female from young to old needs to know. I've never felt such hope for the future for me and my family.

Excellent guide for Amateurs in Homeopathic Medicine.

I have a great interest in homeopathic medicine and I really wanted to put natural healing into practice in my home, but I had no idea where to start. A friend recommended this book, and it is excellent. Dr. Christopher takes herbs and natural healing and applies them to every stage of a woman's life, from puberty (I wish I'd have discovered natural healing and this book as an adolescent), to childbearing age, to menopause. This book doesn't just list different herbs and what they are used for; it gives you the nitty-gritty how-to information on making tinctures, infusions, ointments, decoctions, etc, and how often to take them for a certain ailment. There are also interesting case studies throughout the whole book that make for a very satisfying, page-turning read. Anyone who is planning a homebirth would benefit from the chapters on pregnancy, birth, and the newborn. The information from the chapters can be used to make a very thorough to-do list before the arrival of a new baby.Hats off to Dr. Christopher and Cathy Gileadi for a wonderful treasury of herbal remedies and natural treatments.
