My Sister the Moon

Meer over het boek

My Sister the The Diagnosis & Treatment of Menstrual Diseases by Traditional Chinese Medicine is the most thorough source on Chinese medicine patterns involved in gynecology. The information helps to disentangle the complexity of PMS patterns. Although mostly devoted to herbal medicine, there are brief lists of acupuncture points for many of the menstrual conditions discussed. Author Bob Flaws refers to the 18th century text The Golden Mirror of Medicine, which gives a variety of jing xing (i.e. menstrual movement) disorders which can occur before or during menstruation.
