Integrative Women's Health

Women have made it clear that they desire a broader, integrative approach to their care. Here, Women's Integrative Health weaves together the best of conventional treatments with mind-body interventions, nutritional strategies, herbal therapies, dietary supplements, acupuncture, and manual medicine providing clinicians with a roadmap for practicing comprehensive integrative care. Written exclusively by women clinicians, the text addresses many aspects of women's health including feminine perspectives on aging, spirituality and sexuality; specific recommendations for the treatment of cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV, headaches, multiple sclerosis, depression, anxiety and cancer in women, as well as integrative approaches to premenstrual syndrome, pregnancy, menopause, fibroids, and endometriosis. Homeopathic, Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners provide insight into the ways in which these systems manage reproductive conditions. This book is suitable for family physicians, internal medicine physicians, OBGYNs, nurse practitioners and patients.
