A zine distributed by Blood Sisters, with information and alternative treatments for dealing with endometriosis. The zine features artwork, essays, and poetry as well as a critical examination of traditional western treatments for endometriosis, such as surgery. The author is critical of the impact of pharmaceutical industries on women's autonomy in their own health care. She encourages women with endometriosis to explore non-medicinal treatments such as herbs, relaxation and visualization, exercise, nutrition, therapy and acupuncture.
