About this listen
In Reflections of the Moon on Water, world-renowned Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor Xiaolan Zhao explains the unique philosophy behind the healing practice of TCM, a way of living that is especially liberating and empowering for women. Sharing stories from her own life and the lives of her patients, she shows us how we can develop new relationships with our bodies and our emotions. The first edition concentrated on the challenges of a female body’s reproductive life, from puberty to the transition past menopause: problems with menstruation, pregnancy or infertility, post-partum depression, menopausal symptoms and cancers of the reproductive organs. Women birth the world, as Xiaolan writes, and “the cultural and healing wisdom in Chinese medicine has so much to offer them.”
In this new anniversary edition, Xiaolan extends our understanding with two new chapters: one devoted to ways that women in their seventies and older—their “golden hour”—can continue to live healthy and fulfilled lives, and a second focusing on ways to think differently about the final sunset of one’s life. With health care increasingly fragmented, out of reach or unaffordable, Xiaolan shares how ongoing preventative self-care can help women better their health and vitality as well as prevent illness. By making simple changes in diet, lifestyle and the way we deal with stress and our emotions—time-tested by Chinese medicine and life-tested by the more than 20,000 patients treated at the Xiaolan Health Centre—we can profoundly improve our health no matter our age.
