[.ca] Womans Best Medicine (ISBN 0874777852)

a treasure of medical information embracing the WHOLE person:
this book is a wonderful treatise on health and wholeness - for BOTH sexes. unlike much of modern medicine, it addresses not only the health and well-being of the body but the essential link with the emotions and spirit, through a detailed and easy to understand explanation of the principles of the ancient (and very current) science of Ayurveda. a MUST read for anyone interested in health and wholeness (ie., everyone)

Easy-to-read self-care resource:
"The mixture of scientifically prepared herbs in each Maharishi Ayurveda formula works on very subtle levels to remind the physiology of its own perfection. The herbs awaken the health that's there, awaken the laws of nature intrinsic in every cell to function optimally, for the perfect health of the entire physiology." -Veronica Butler, M.D. If you are looking for a book which examines women's health issues from a Maharishi Ayurveda perspective, this guide offers practical advice for physical, mental and emotional well-being. I have tried various ayruvedic formulas and found them to be effective. If you need a source, feel free to write to me. There is an excellent site online and they also carry fun things like candles and rose water. They have many unique products I have not seen anywhere else.

Best???:
This began to read like a lengthy advertisement for TM classes (available from a teacher near you) backed up with anecdotal evidence and anonymous medical studies (or studies done by TM-friendly physicians) Caveat emptor.

Amazing:
This book has given me so much, not only health advice, but it has also taught me more about life.

A Compassionate Reference Guide to Ayurveda:
Written with sincere effort to educate and spread Ayurvedic knowledge to other women, this is a book I come back to again and again. A thorough and easy-to-read guide for women on all levels of the mind, body and emotions. This book is written clearly and compassionately by women, and it surpasses all other Ayurvedic books in its accessibility to the reader. No "shoulds" or finger-pointing here. Just clear explanations and a joy to read. I use this book as an excellent reference, as well as a source of comfort and validation in my own personal experiences as a woman.
