One Response to “A Woman’s Complete Guide to Natural Health”

• By Joni Caldwell on Mar 10, 2010

  This book is attractive, fairly well presented, and might be a good addition to your collection if you’re already knowledgeable of Natural Health topics,but to say it’s COMPLETE is inaccurate.

  On your road to self care knowledge, this is interesting to read but not a primary resource as the cover seems to want you to believe. The author gives you her personal twist on a number of women’s health issues but focuses on relatively few products by some rather obscure brands. This leaves readers to wonder if she writes mostly about brands offered by her own herb company. An herb company appears to be promoted in the book by referral to a very cursory web page and 800 number in the introduction but not specifically identified as her own entity.

  Some of the homeopathic entries are intriguing, but again are generally referring to one company’s offerings in a way that felt like the company was being promoted rather than more clearly addressing the homeopathic topic.

  If you can only choose one book on natural health, the one to have is the most recent edition of Prescriptions for Nutritional Healing because the entries are more thorough and the product recommendations offer a broader scope of what’s out there on the shelves. If you want several resources in your personal library, this book might be on down the list after a couple of quality guides to homeopathy and natural healing.

  I have owned every edition of Prescriptions for Nutritional Healing (PNH), and it continues to be the best and most complete book on natural health that I can find anywhere. There is also a new 2002 PNH smaller guide to supplements that covers even more products and updates, but it too doesn’t claim to be a complete guide – a good clue.
