Women´s Bodies, Women´s Wisdom

Book Review by: Sortilegio     

Original Author: Dr. Christiane Northrup
This abstract was translated from Cuerpo de mujer, sabiduría de mujer
How does the female body work? How is it influenced by the external/the culture and the internal/the emotions? How does the
past influence the present? Which are the women’s illnesses and which the solutions? This and much more is Women’s Bodies, Women's Wisdom, the book that released the eminent and today worldwide known Dr. Northrup. A marvelous guide about the female anatomy, health and the different methods that can be used to act against the illnesses. A medical and holistic guide that tackles the health of the women as a whole and emphasizes the importance of taking care, not only of their bodies, but also of their souls and roots; to make peace with the past in order to look at the future. The book has three parts: The first, “From external control to inner guidance” talks about the cultural heritage, the feminine intelligence, and the inner guidance and the female energy system. The second part is about the women anatomy, including here the different illnesses associated to each area or organ. And in the third part, Dr. Northrup tells us about the steps for healing from allopathic and holistic point of view. She also includes an appendix about the choices in hormone replacement, and several drawings and charts. To sum up, Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom is an indispensable guide for any woman who wants to be responsible and take control of her own integral wellness; but also for any man interested in understanding more about the female physiology and psychology. A real masterpiece, a bible for the women.
