For women many of the answers to our health problems rest in the simple medicines of the earth. Carrying a genetic encoding of thousands of years of wisdom as "green women", healers, herbalists, we often know what to do for our health problems if we but listen to the wisdom of our bodies and the teachings of the Earth. Herbs and other natural therapies provide safe, simple and sane solutions to the battles that often rage in womens' bodies. When appropriate they can also be used safely with western "heroic" type medicine to provide a more wholistic and effective approach to our personal health problems.
