Me
thinks
Recently I have been
battling loads of medical issues since past one year. When I saw this book in
my recommendations list I somehow had the urge to read it. Not to forget two
prominent people Deepak Chopra and Mallika Sarabhai had something to say about
the book making it more alluring.
The author had divided
the book into 10 chapters covering 10 most prominent illnesses that affect a
woman. Then he has gone ahead and explained each illness in details, its
symptoms, causes, preventions and finally the holistic approach to healing it.
Though there are few
errors here and there in terms of grammar and spelling mistakes it surely can
be given a miss if the book’s content is taking into consideration. It is a thoroughly
information book a must have for every woman. I have come across such books
before but they have rarely covered so exhaustively and made it so perfectly suited
for an Indian woman.
Strongly recommended for
each one of YOU out there !
