This little treasure explains how our bodies create and use energy every day of our lives. Our energy--or CHI--remains high, even in menopause, when our organs and body's energy flow are healthy.Nan Lu's book has a simple yet profound message: Embrace the unique and magnificent transition of menopause and take time to learn how to care for yourself....through a renewed spirit, chinese herbs, diet and a series of tai chi exercises. By doing so, you'll reawaken the self-healing gift you were born with.Start today, you deserve it.
I loved the easy format of this book. I have a number of books on Chinese Medicine and mostly I found them boring and very hard to read. This book is very easy and includes a number of very practical suggestions that you can start using right away. I've been practicing the qigong exercises mentioned in the book. I am also trying to change my diet and I went to see an acupuncturist. Overall I would suggest this book to any woman going thru the peri-menopause and menopause.
I found the book to be a good read, as well as address issues that I wasn't aware of or haven't been addressed by my own doctor.
The Seaweed I could not eat. I did mix vegetables I am accustomed to though and it works.
A great book to learn more & prevent problem due to menopause. I think this must have for all women.
A very informative book. The only problem is that it may be difficult to follow the suggestions unless you are well acquainted with TCM in general. I don't see most westerners following the recommendations with ease. You need to attend one of Dr. Nan's workshops for more details. This book will be a good handbook to go along with the workshops if he still offers them.
I see Dr. Lu occasionally for checkups. Although this book doesn't really do him justice, it is a helpful and informative guide for living. About 7 years ago, I had tendonitis and could not play the piano for 2 years. A friend recommended him to me and after one visit (where he performed accupressure on my hand) and some self home therapy, I was able to play Rachmaninoff. I don't even remember having suffered from tendonitis now. I'm so glad that I went to see him instead of getting cortisone injections (or surgery) from an allopathic doctor. I highly recommend him for any sort of ailment.
I found this book very interesting and useful. Has black and white photos of how to perform the qi gong exercises and was well written.
