Fascinating article about how Chinese medicine can be used to treat women's health:

"When there is a problem within the system such as menstrual irregularities or fibroids or infertility or the myriad other dysfunctions, it is to these meridians and organ systems that we look to find the true diagnosis and to correct the pathology. The herbs we use to treat imbalances are directed to these meridian systems as needed. This illustrates a bit of the poetry of the medicine, but it is of practical use too. This perspective and theoretical framework allows for a way to look at the life cycle of human beings in a way that combines all aspects of our mind, body and spirit."
