Susun Weed Book Reviews, Down There & Breast Health


The Green Blessings of American herbalist and founder of the Wise Woman Tradition, Susun Weed, has given me more herbal wisdom than a decade of trying to teach myself.  Her books our remarkable, magical and in-depth.  An influential woman with a talent for making friends with wild plants around us, she has paved a way with a hermit's lamp, pioneering a path that is now taken by many.  Charming and wild, Susun is one of the weeds herself, a healing and wonderful gift to us all!

Susun has received the Twentieth Century Award for Achievement and is included in Who's Who of Intellectuals.  She was also recognized as an Outstanding Person of the 20th Century, and was nominated as International Woman of the Year. Her books and appearances have helped millions of women attain better health and become more powerful in themselves. 

I cannot read enough of Susun's teachings and plan to apprentice with her at some point.  I now have her five book collection and I cannot recommend them enough.  They are all wonderful and each book contains a wealth of wise woman wisdom.  I trust her and in the field of herbalism this is quite important.  She's got the balls to say it how it is and she's got the heart ... compassion and passion for the plants, all her students and everything that she does!



Down There: Sexual and Reproductive Health the Wise Woman Way by Susun S. Weed   

My goodness ... this book is incredibly informative, with detailed pictures and descriptions.  I thought I knew everything that I needed to know about sexual and reproductive health ... until this book taught me the things that I did not even know to ask.   

Down There: Sexual and Reproductive Health the Wise Woman Way answers many questions that, chances are, you have been afraid to ask about.  Topics include orgasms, desire, UTIs, STDs, dry vagina, infertility and so much more.  I have never read a book anything like this one.  Susun's comfort with her femininity makes the reader feel comfortable too, especially with topics that are difficult to talk about for many woman.  Highly recommended - You will learn something you did not even no you should ask about!
