Now in its 24th printing. A confirmed favorite with pregnant women,
midwives, childbirth educators, and new parents. Packed with clear,
comforting, and superbly helpful information.
Beginning with the two months before pregnancy, herbs are enlisted
to provide safe, effective birth control, or to help ensure pregnancy,
even in the most difficult of situations. A special list of teratogens,
including herbs to avoid before pregnancy, is included, as is a section
on herbs to improve the father's fertility and reduce the risk of birth
defects.
Once pregnancy has occurred, herbs are safe and beneficial allies in
reducing the distress of pregnancy, including hemorrhoids, high blood
pressure, morning sickness, emotional changes, anemia, muscle cramps,
bladder infections, and preclampsia. Tasty recipes and clear directions
make use easy and fun.
Herbs take a starring role in labor and delivery -- whether initiating
labor, increasing energy, diminishing pain, or staunching postpartum
bleeding -- and in postpartum care of the mother's perineum, breasts,
and emotions, and the infants umbilicus, skin, scalp, digestive system,
and immune system.
Humorous, tender, and detailed, this classic text is supported by illustrations,
references, resource lists, glossary, and index.

Thank you VERY much for everything you have

Now available: A Special Tenth Anniversary edition of this classic herbal,
profusely illustrated, with an introduction by Jean Houston. Healing
Wise sets forth the foundations of the Wise Woman Tradition, contrasting
them with the Heroic and Scientific views of healing. "Weed draw
us into ancient wisdom in a clear and refreshing way," says herbalist
Rosemary Gladstar.
I see the Wise Woman. She carries a blanket of compassion. She wears
a robe of wisdom. From her shoulders, a mantle of power flows. She ties
the threads of our lives together. I see the Wise Woman. And she sees
me.
Seven herbs -- burdock, chickweed, dandelion, nettle, oatstraw, seaweed,
and violet -- are explored in depth. Each monograph includes the "voice"
of the herb, a weed walk to encounter the herb in its environment, detailed
instructions for harvesting and preparation, properties and uses for
every part of the herb, pertinent facts, fun folklore, and recipes for
gourmet foodstuffs, wines, beers, cosmetics, and more.
"Especially important is her discernment between the gentle Wise
Woman Way and other "alternative" healing paths. . . . I wish
every healer would incorporate this approach," says Vicki Noble
(Motherpeace Tarot). Includes index, resources listings, bibliography
and references.

just like your favorite powerful weeds. Thank you for sharing and nourishing!

Recommended by Susan Love MD and Christiane Northrup MD.
The best book on menopause is now better. Completely revised with
100 new pages. All the remedies women know and trust plus hundreds of
new ones. New sections on thyroid health, fibromyalgia, hairy problems,
male menopause, and herbs for women taking hormones.
One of the world's best selling books on menopause still comes on strong.
Called "indispensable," "incredible," and a "treasure
trove of information," Menopausal Years is the "bible"
for the 87% of American women over the age of fifty who want nothing
to do with hormones.
Includes information and remedies for problems with premenopause --
flooding, erratic periods, fibroids, spotting, water retention, muscle
soreness -- as well as menopause -- hot flashes, sleeplessness, mood
swings, headaches, palpitations, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and much
more. Final chapters speak to post-menopausal women's concerns: including
ways to maintain heart health, prevent and reverse osteoporosis, deal
with dry vaginal tissues and incontinence, ease aching joints, and maintain
healthy libido.
The soothing, wise voice of Grandmother Growth guides each woman through
the book and through her own menopause metamorphosis. Ritual interludes
interweaves a spiritual dimension often lacking in other works.
Includes superb resource lists for menopause information, index, glossary,
directions for using (and preparing) herbal medicines, complete descriptions
of the most-used menopausal herbs (including nettles, ginseng, dong
quai, red clover, oatstraw, and motherwort), recipes for heart- and
bone-healthy dishes, and lots of illustrations. Also available: Menopause
Metamorphosis Video starring Susun S. Weed.

"The perfect antidote to fear." Carolyn DeMarco, M.D.
More than 100,000 copies of this ground-breaking book are currently
in print. It is used by breast cancer support groups and hospital-based
oncologists in USA, Germany, New Zealand, and Canada. Why? because it

the most effective alternative and complementary treatments for breast
(and prostate) cancers.
Breast Cancer? Breast Health! is for every woman interested
in taking breast health into her own hands. The first third offers easy
lifestyle changes, simple herbal additions, and tasty food recommendations
to reduce risk and improve immune functioning. The second third helps
those with possible cancer -- what to do before you call the doctor,
how to explore your options -- and those diagnosed with cancer -- including
"alternative treatments to avoid." Separate chapters detail
complementary medicines for those using surgery, chemotherapy, radiation,
or tamoxifen. The last third focuses on the 30 most important anti-cancer
herbs, with specific instructions for preparation and use.
Down-to-earth, compassionate, and lyrical, this information-rich book
includes a risk assessment survey; directory of helpful organizations;
glossary; index; and many useful illustrations. Introduction by Christiane
Northrup, M.D. (American edition) and Susun Love, M.D. (German edition).
