Women's health issues have long been ignored or pushed into the same category with men's health issues. For far too long, orthodox medical research has failed to recognize that women's health care concerns were unique to them. Though this position has improved a little, men still largely control medical research and the largest percentage of funding is still directed to male diseases. However, many of the world's leading nutritional experts realize that women have specific needs and a number of the most recent alternative medicine products are directed towards assisting with female ailments, ones for which conventional medicine has not found cures.
There are many online resources for women's health products and most of them also offer health libraries that provide answers specifically for women's health questions and concerns. With the establishment of The Office of Women's Health (OWH) in the Department of Health and Human Services in 1991, women's health is now firmly rooted in the national health landscape. The OWH is focusing on
women's health care priorities to meet the sweeping demographic trends of the next century and to focus on the millions of underserved women in America.
