Endometriosis is the condition in which the lining of the womb grows on other organs outside of the uterus, frequently causing intolerable pain. In some cases it may lead to problems conceiving or infertility. However, there is relief for this condition as Dian Shepperson Mills illustrates in this book, which offers safe and practical nutritional and healthcare advice. This title is a detailed, insightful look at a disease which affects approximately one in ten women world-wide.
