Index
"One of the joys of this book is Zita's ability to combine
knowledge of the traditional western approach, essential for the
confidence of those non-midwife acupuncturists, with the
traditional eastern knowledge, essential for all practitioners, to
produce a detailed 'how to' book. However, I would also recommend
this book to midwives and student midwives in general. The
terminology used in TCM is wonderfully evocative (the uterus is
known as the 'envelope of Yin', and improving postnatal wellbeing
may involve 'mother roasting'), yet also so alien sounding that
many may dismiss this book as being of specialist interest only.
Please don't! There is so much knowledge, and understanding of the
underlying principle of holistic care, and the fundamental
importance of all aspects of a mother's wellbeing before, during
and after pregnancy, that it would be unfortunate if this book
became purely a specialist tome."
