My sincere hope is that this book will introduce women to the beautiful and powerful healing art and science of homeopathy, as well as to our inner healing abilities. Many books exist, with more coming out every day, on the subject of women's health and healing-books that elaborate on the anatomy and physiology of women's gynecological conditions, as well as on conventional and natural (particularly herbal and nutritional) approaches to treatment, and provide psychological and spiritual guidance. There is no need to duplicate what has already been done extraordinarily well. I share with you, in this book, what I have found to be most effective in healing women during my sixteen years of practice as a homeopath.

My favorite parts of this book are my patients' own stories, which describe how homeopathy has changed their lives in a profound way. For example, Grace, a fifty-seven-year-old Catholic nun from Detroit, shares:

"Thank you for the invitation to contribute to your book. There is so much to say about my experience with you and homeopathy. The best thing that has happened is my new sense of being centered since I began to see you at the age of fifty-four. All of my life, at critical moments, I have been prone to crying, even without any apparent reason. People would tell me I had the gift of tears, but I hated being so vulnerable and never knowing when I would spontaneously start crying. In meetings, classrooms, doctors' offices, family gatherings. Anywhere and everywhere. Menopause only made matters worse. Crying at the drop of a hat didn't help me gain respect as a professional educator, not to mention the unpredictability of hot flashes and sweats.
