"Many women feel comfortable discussing hormonal changes as well as personal topics such as sexuality and libido with a female doctor. As women, we can personally relate to and understand PMS, menopause, pregnancy and other issues," says Dr. Giard.

She believes that homeopathy and botanical medicine complement dietary revision, lifestyle changes, and mind-body therapies to help restore balance for her patients.
