REVIEWREVIEW
• Things we think we know – have in common to
be reading this.
• I am assuming we all know TCM common
themes and vestiges of 5 element theory.
• Also that all who are logged in are not prudes,
and can cope with straight talking.
• Is it possible that women may need just a bit
more than a Liv 2, 3 and some Buplerum?

WOMEN NEED THEIR BLOOD TO SUPPORT . . .

Blood nourishes theBlood nourishes the
Liver . .Liver . .
• From our first year classes we all know a woman
needs strong Liver Blood to nourish her muscles,
ligaments, tendons, hair, eyes, complexion, Shen
and especially her menstrual cycle.
• The Chong, Ren and Dai all need to be replete and
flowing well for normal cycles and Qi and Blood flow
to nourish her monthly flows, and her baby and milk
making

Where does the BloodWhere does the Blood
originate?originate?
• Strong Jing from parents, orderly early life to allow
her to reach her potential, calm Shen and restful
sleeping all have a part to ply to allow the normal
production and circulation of Q and Blood – hence
normal cycles.
• Do most women come in with normal cycles? No.
• They are usually medicated to not feel and not bleed.
• This all by itself messes with the Liver Qi – even if it
were working well prior to pharmaceutical tinkering.

EMOTIONS IN TURMOIL

PERHAPS . ..PERHAPS . ..
• This is bigger than what point/herb . . .?
• Perhaps when teaching ‘causes of
disease’ and taking of ‘excessive sex –
we actually need to say – in the case of
women – no orgasms is a causative
factor – all that friction . . . .
• No release/orgasm . . . ?

So far so good . . .So far so good . . .
• What about thinking outside the box though?
Are patients as straightforward as they are presented
in the texts/teachings?
• Perhaps we may need to think . . . . ?
• Problem solve – and using an energy, not a
biomechanical model?

‘‘Causes of disease . .. .Causes of disease . .. .‘‘EXCESSIVEEXCESSIVE’’
SEXSEX
• Perhaps instead of the meaning – ‘over use
/expenditure of Jing’ (male centred medicine) – for
women we need to speak of overly bleeding – this
then brings in hormonal disruption/estrogen
dominance (Stuck Liver Blood and Heat in Blood) with
attendant sexual/emotional angst as a result.
• The over use of JING – in IVF egg retrieval cycles
when she was already depleted – and then the
grief/loss of spontaneity -where is the love/passion?
• And orgasms . .. (Bai Mai shut down . . ..)

• This lifetime – manifested later in the same life (see

WHY?WHY?
• Normal circulation and production of Qi and Blood is the
optimal state for a woman to be working with –
anything less than this, she gets upset – as her body
CAN’T go about the business of cyclic preparation of
a nest – and the creation of new life.
• This then impacts on EVERY OTHER aspect of her
being/life. Who wants to live like this?
• Especially when making more babies – women need
to be like a flower opening – in their own time, not
forced
