An in depth textbook outlining a holistic approach to using herbal medicine to treat specific conditions seen in gynaecology.

In a much needed discussion surrounding gynaecological health, Hananja Brice-Ytsma and Nathalie Chidley expertly integrate traditional knowledge and clinical research to tackle a number of gynaecological conditions, outlining comprehensive treatments for each, employing the bounty of herbal medicine.

Through distinct and comprehensive chapters, each discussing a different condition, the authors provide clear understanding of the physiological processes behind each condition, deepening the reader's understanding of the herbs in the context of female health.

Included in the text are dietary and lifestyle sections with research directly relevant to each condition, enabling a practitioner to make informed, evidence-based recommendations. The second section of the book includes monographs of 'non hormonal herbs' traditionally used in female health. These are herbs with a long tradition of use in gynaecology and were not covered in the first volume of this series.

With its valuable, in-depth research and accessible format - complete with photographs of the relevant herbs - Herbal Medicine in Treating Gynaecological Conditions Volume 2 is a must for the bookshelf of any practitioner or student of herbal medicine.

Herbal Medicine in Treating Gynaecological Conditions Volume 1 was co-written with Adrian McDermott and published by Aeon in 2020. It discusses in detail understanding the principles of hormones and herbal influences.
