Sabine Wilms Channeling the Moon

In the heyday of classical Chinese gynecology roughly eight centuries ago, Qí Zhòngfu ¿¿¿ composed a humbly named masterpiece, to address his students’, colleagues’, and patients’ “Hundred Questions on Gynecology.” Quoting and discussing all the major theories and treatments found in earlier gynecological texts, the Chinese original of this book must have been as useful to his Sòng dynasty readers as this modern English translation will be for any practitioner of Chinese gynecology today. One of the eminent translators of Chinese medical literature, Dr. Sabine Wilms has once again crafted a meticulously researched, lovingly phrased, and abundantly annotated translation in an attractive and accessible edition that is sure to inspire our clinical colleagues and set a new bar for the clinical practice of traditional Chinese gynecology in the West. Channeling the Moon, Part Two covers questions 15 to 50 on miscellaneous conditions of gynecology and includes clinical commentaries by Sharon Weizenbaum and Genevieve LeGoff, Sabine' own discussions with extensive quotations from a wide range of medical classics, Chinese-English reference tables for formulas and materia medica, and a glossary and index.
