Office on Women's Health

Earlier this month, the HHS Office on Women's Health in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health (OASH), recognized its 16th annual National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD). The day brought many local, state, federal, and national organizations together to bring greater attention to the impact HIV and AIDS have on women and girls.

To continue the conversation and in recognition the 30^th anniversary of the HHS Office on Women's Health, we will host a webinar to discuss strategies to increase prevention, treatment, and care around HIV and AIDS for women and girls.

Homeopathy and Cancer Treatment: A Complementary Approach

Hello, I'm Vishnu, a passionate homeopathy practitioner dedicated to exploring the full potential of holistic health. As the field of complementary and alternative medicine continues to evolve, homeopathy has gained attention for its gentle and individualized approach to healing. Today, I want to shed light on how homeopathy can serve as a supportive option for individuals facing cancer, while also emphasizing the importance of informed decision-making. Homeopathy, based on the principle of "like cures like," involves using highly diluted substances to stimulate the body’s natural healing response.

For many tobacco users, the long-term brain changes induced by continued nicotine exposure result in addiction, which involves withdrawal symptoms when not smoking, and difficulty adhering to the resolution to quit. We all know smoking is har...
