| Summary |
Addresses women's reproductive health and also conditions that manifest differently in women than in men, including cardiovascular disease, arthritis, HIV, depression, and cancer. Contributors present evidence, in a clinically relevant manner, for the safe and effective use of herbs, vitamins, diet, and mind-body strategies alongside conventional medical treatments. The authors demonstrate how clinicians can implement their recommendations in practice, going beyond practical care to examine how to motivate patients, enhance a health history, and understand the spiritual dimensions of healing. --From publisher description. |
