Review Quotes:
"This is an important book about an essential aspect of Chinese Medicine. Sabine Wilms is, in my opinion, the best translator of ancient Chinese medical texts in the world. In this book, she provides us with an invaluable guide for women's health that is still extremely relevant today." (Lillian Pearl Bridges, director of the Lotus Institute and author of Face Reading in Chinese Medicine)
