Sexy Uterus Book Wins 2011 International Book Awards, Women’s Health Category

Oct. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- Groundbreaking bestselling book, The Uterine Health Companion: A Holistic Guide to Lifelong Wellness (Celestial Arts, A Division of Random House) wins the 2011 International Book Awards, Women's Health Category and reveals the importance of the uterus to women's heart health, lifelong wellness and sexual pleasure.

Medical anthropologist and women's health expert, Dr. Eve Agee shows that this amazing, yet frequently disparaged organ, is for more than making babies—it produces hormones that boost women’s mood & sexual pleasure, support immune function, protect the heart, reduce pain and high blood pressure, and even enhance orgasm.  

Dr. Eve Agee has studied women’s health throughout the world and has observed a silent Western health crisis. In the U.S., one-third of all American women will have a hysterectomy in their lifetimes--the highest rate in the world----increasing their risks for heart disease, depression, incontinence, blood clots, hypertension, low libido, and chronic pain. Yet women in non-Western societies typically experience much lower rates of hysterectomy and menstrual and menopausal problems and actually celebrate the uterus.

While many non-Western cultures celebrate menstruation and menopause and consider their uterine processes sacred, women in the U.S. typically curse their uterine cycles.  

In fact, the uterus has been so stigmatized in Western cultures that preventative strategies used to protect other organs like the heart and brain are not widely promoted for the uterus in Western healthcare, even though recent large scale scientific research demonstrates that removing the uterus before age fifty increases women's lifelong risk of cardiovascular disease by 20% and this risk jumps to 40% if women have their ovaries removed as well.

In addition to protecting heart health and supporting emotional mood, women can experience mind-blowing uterine orgasm.  This vital organ also carries out essential immune functions, contributes to healthy posture and enhances the overall lifelong health of all women.

The Uterine Health Companion is a groundbreaking book offering a comprehensive holistic program and global insights that will empower women. It guides women to create vibrant physical, emotional and sexual health during menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, and beyond. The book includes chapters for women with fibroids, endometriosis, as well as those who have had or are considering hysterectomies. The Uterine Health Companion is a fascinating book essential for every woman at any stage of life.
