This lovely introduction to themes and concepts in Chinese traditional medicine focuses on the stages of a woman's life and includes a wealth of practical suggestions for living in harmony with nature's rhythms to maintain health and prevent disease. The ancient traditions of Chinese medicine are more resonant than ever in modern society, where women are increasingly pressured to outperform, and where fatigue, stress, sleep deprivation and the consequent health pathologies are overarching. This book will help women to develop awareness of the innate ways of understanding and caring for body, heart, and mind, and to reconnect with the rhythms of the natural self. It offers the keys to the gateway of a natural and harmonious path in the journey towards wholeness.
