Path of Pregnancy, Vol. 2: A Handbook of Traditional Chinese Postpartum Diseases

Picking up where Path of Pregnancy, Vol. 1 leaves off, Vol. 2 discusses three dozen of the most commonly seen postpartum complaints, such as incessant lochia, fatigue, depression, scanty lactation, insomnia, low back pain, etc. Under each disease, the author, Bob Flaws, gives the disease causes and mechanisms, pattern discrimination, treatment principles, and a wide selection of Chinese herbal formulas. This book is meant as a clinical manual for any practitioners treating postpartum women with Chinese medicine.
