Mama's Word on Preventing Mastitis~by Charlotte Young. A lovely little book that explores mastitis and its causes and cures. Not homeopathic, but still very relevant as she considers the mental / emotional aspects to the disorder and how they can be avoided energetically.~This excellent little book is split into three sections which explore aspects of having and dealing with mastitis. The first section is the practical part, looking at the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the disorder. In the second, Charlotte considers the emotional response women have to it - the thoughts of 'why me?' and the possibility of transformation. The last, and possibly the most enjoyable (though perhaps, not practical) is what all we women love - the stories. Here is a collection of 13 stories by 13 women about their mastitis experiences. At the end, we all feel like cheering and meeting up with our friends to discuss how great it is to be a woman!~Mama%27s Word on Preventing Mastitis|9780646470467|~1750~2568~browse_author, browse-title, breasts, pregnancy, birth~

Menopause & Homeopathy~by Ifeoma Ikenze. Subtitled 'A Guide for Women in Midlife' this lovely book looks at supporting women through their changes.~
As women grapple with the issue of whether hormone replacement therapy is necessary for them, they need a greater understanding of what the body is undergoing in menopause. Dr. Ifeoma Ikenze, an M.D. and a homeopath, writes from her experience of treating women daily in her Northern California practice. She explains the changes that begin to occur in the female body after thirty-five, and how homeopathy can help.

Using patient cases as examples, Dr. Ikenze shows how physical, emotional, professional, and spiritual problems can challenge one's health and self-image. She incorporates the latest medical reserach and addresses the spiritual and emotional challenges of menopause, which most physicians overlook.

Primal Health~by Michel Odent. This wonderful text asks the fundamental question that is often avoided: What is health? If you don't find it easy to come up with an answer - and especially if you do - read this book. It is brilliant!~Michel Odent, the leading pioneer for natural childbirth, indicates that the period between conception and a child's first birthday is critical to life-long health. In this prophetic book… he argues that different parts of the 'primal adaptive system' develop, regulate and adjust themselves during foetal life and the time around birth and infancy. 'Everything which happens during this period of dependence on the mother has an influence on this basic state of health, this primal health.' He suggests that the later well-being of adults, their ability to withstand the 'diseases of civilization' such as hypertension, cancer, alcoholism and failures of the immune system resulting in Aids, allergies and viral diseases, can all be traced back to society's ignorance of the importance of the primal period.

This book is essential reading for all who care about the health of our children and the ongoing health of society as a whole.~Primal Health|1-902636-33-3|~1750~2285~browse_author, browse_title, pregnancy, conception, women, children, birth~
