reflections of the moon on water

A wonderful womans book. Softly written and poetically expressed, it delivers the ancient Chinese way of nurturing and caring for the female body. It explains the energetic flow of the female systems in terms that everyone can understand and appreciate. A book to be appreciated women of all ages from maiden to crone.

Xiaolan Zhao is a real & wonderful TCM practitioner

For those who doubt Dr. Zhao's credentials, I can say that she is the real thing. I've been a patient of hers for many years and am familiar with her background. She has extensive training in both TCM and Western medicine. I hope those who are interested in TCM ignore the false comments posted in other reviews and read this wonderful book. She offers a transformative vision of health care and I think you'll be inspired by her vision.

excellent read

Dr. Zhao wrote a delightful, compelling and highly personal book that gives us another point of view in creating health physically, emotionally and spiritually. It is empowering and has a uniquely feminine voice. Having faced serious health issues myself, I am more convinced than ever that, while western medicine has an important place in the total health picture, very often there is need for other, more wholistic points of view. This book has certainly pointed me in that direction. Some of the previous reviews questioned Dr. Zhao's credentials. My impression is that she is both a western medical doctor and a traditional chinese medical doctor. However, this is an easy problem to solve... just ask her publisher for her credentials. Random house would certainly have checked this out after all the problems in the states. This would end any potentially damaging speculation. Thanks for a beautifully written book and a wonderful resource for me as a woman looking for a more wholistic approach to my well being.
