Book Summaries
Breast Cancer? Breast Health
What a gift to women of all ages! This book helped me overcome my
fear of what I might discover during self-examination. I am so grateful
that this book came my way and I am healthier in mind, body, and
spirit thanks to Ms. Weed's wise words! All of my questions and
doubts were addressed in a voice that speaks for all the wise women
who have chosen the path of natural and sensible personal health.
If I could, I would give a copy of this book to every woman in the
world! Read

Wise Woman Herbal for the Childbearing Year
What a unique treasure this book is! I used this during my entire
"childbearing year" and am so glad that it is still available
so I can give it to my best friend's daughter as she prepares for
her first child. I still use the Herbal Pharmacy section quite frequently
so this book has a permanent place on my bookshelf. Read
the Review
A City Herbal
I never could have imagined the herbal abundance that grows between
the cracks of the city sidewalks and in vacant lots! This book details
the folknames, locations, historical uses, lore, legends, and uses
of 34 plants commonly found in the city. I read this book like a
novel, from cover to cover, and would recommend it to anyone interested
our green friends! Read
the Review
Common Herbs for Natural Health is an essential herbal
for the newcomer to the expert. Juliette de Bairacli utilizes her
Gypsy wisdom, and decades of studying herbs and healing, to create
a book filled with natural remedies and recipes. What a treasure!
Her respect and love for the plants, the earth, and the medicinal
knowledge garnered from people of all ethnic origins is powerful,
practical, and sensible. My gardens and personal health are already
benefiting from this intelligent and tender book. Read
the Review
Healing Wise
What a powerful book! It has changed the way I feel towards modern
medicine, the chaos in my life, and even my backyard. The seven
featured common weeds are given voices and distinct personalities.
For instance, dandelion speaks from this book with a charming and
joyous French accent. My medicine cabinet has fewer pharmaceuticals
these days and an increasing assortment of odd little bottles of
tinctures, oils, and salves that I have had great fun making from
plants I have found within walking distance of my home. The voice
of Wise Woman wisdom rings throughout this book and I find myself
turning to this book for solutions to my various discomforts instead
of calling the doctor. Read
the Review
Luna Yoga
This is the first book on yoga that has appealed to me. Luna yoga
was developed for woman by women. Adelheid Ohlig clearly intends
to bring the philosophy, discipline, and healing art of luna yoga
to the attention of women. I have only just begun to follow this
practice daily and have high hopes for improved health and happiness.

Moon Days
Although women experience "the curse" from their early
teenage years until their early fifties, most of us don't discuss
it in depth . . . and certainly don't write or read short stories
and poetry about the subject! This book, by a collection of talented
authors, is for women of any age and is inspired by the wonders,
embarrassment, and power of menstruation. Surprisingly, it is a
very funny and touching read. I am past menopause and who would
have guessed that this book would actually make me nostalgic for
that significant part of my younger years. Read
the Review
Nature's Children
Surely this is how our children were meant to be raised and nourished!
In harmony with the rhythms of the earth, seasons, wild creatures,
and plants the author shares her knowledge and compassion. How I
wish I had known of this book when my son was younger, but it's
never too late to begin employing the remedies and recipes contained
in this marvelous book which is dedicated to the simple life and
family health. Read
the Review
New Menopausal Years the Wise Woman Way
If this book had not been given to me by a close friend, I would
be experiencing menopause in an entirely different manner. The purring
voice of Grandmother Growth, who introduces many of the chapters,
assured me that I am not losing my mind or harboring a terminal
illness; that menopause is not something to be endured or fixed,
but rather an ongoing adventure loaded with opportunity. The Wise
Woman approach to the various and unexpected discomforts and joys
of the Change has motivated me to seize this experience to transform
my life for the better. Read
the Review
Traveler's Joy
This magical book has made me want to shelve my responsibilities
and hit the road! The author's enthusiasm and ability to embrace
hardship and bounty alike are truly inspirational. I am encouraged
to lighten my material load to provide space for the gifts that
the simple life provides. Recipes, travel lore, herbal medicine,
literary references, and personal observations make this book an
enjoyable read.
