Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Author
One of the very first books I ever wrote on Chinese medicine was about Chinese medicine and pregnancy. At the time, I cobbled together whatever scanty information was available in English. Much of that information was out-dated and incomplete if not actually erroneous. After I taught myself how to read Chinese and thereby gained access to the full length and breadth of the Chinese medical literature, I realized that I had an obligation to redo this earlier effort. The fruit of that obligation is this vastly improved and expanded version which is easily comparable to a professional Chinese medical OB/GYN text in the People's Republic of China. It took me more than 15 years to reach this state of the art. Having done so, I hope this book can cut more than a decade off other students' and practitioners' development.
