Tutorial 5 – Women’s Health

I’ve been an ardent feminist ever since I was at university in the 60’s. There is an inherent bliss in being female in which I revel yet in my long years in herbal practice I’ve encountered a distressing number of women who have lost sight of that. Some because they are bogged down in wifely duties, or are wearing themselves out trying to be Superwoman, others because they find it to live up to a sex symbol image and others because they are crippled with the horrifying conviction that anatomy is destiny.

Well it is but only partly. Of course anatomy doesn’t have to be destiny but the overall health of any woman, physical, emotional and spiritual is bound up with the health of her reproductive organs. This is why I am focusing on this area in this tutorial. Which, of course, doesn’t mean a woman may suffer in other areas as far as her health is concerned but I have done my best to cover these in other tutorials.
