Healing in Urology

Clinical Guidebook to Herbal and Alternative Therapies

There is a clear need for a more comprehensive and inclusive body of information for supplementary and alternate treatment of urological conditions. To meet this need, our book will compile evidence-based information for clinicians, healthcare providers, and patients. As the first comprehensive educational guidebook focusing on alternative therapies for urological ailments, this book will be useful for healthcare providers as well as patients suffering from these conditions (including urinary tract infections, benign prostatic hyperplasia, kidney stones, incontinence, and pelvic pain) who are looking for alternative and supplementary remedies. Many physicians and patients are reluctant to use these remedies and this book will demystify this area in urology.
