This one-day seminar with Dr. Sabine Wilms gives practitioners the opportunity to learn from this leading expert in classical Chinese medicine. This 1-day recording serves as an introduction to the world of classical Chinese medicine, especially as it applies to fertility and reproductive medicine.
Following the lead in the medical literature of the Han to Tang dynasties, Sabine focuses particularly on practices and theories of yangsheng 養生. Literally translated as “nurturing life”, this term describes ways of supporting and nurturing the body’s natural processes, promoting health, and preventing disease from occurring or taking hold which is sometimes referred to as “treating disease before it arises”.
Inspired by Sun Simiao’s vision of the “eminent physician”, Sabine hopes to encourage watchers to rethink and expand the meaning of “practicing Chinese medicine”, clinical and otherwise, to conceptualise your practice in the spirit of the ancient sages as going far beyond treating disease, with the ultimate goal of harmonizing Heaven and Earth.
This means following Sun Simiao’s advice to “venerate the root” by starting with the health of women and newborns: she will explore how this notion of “nurturing life” can be applied concretely in the context of reproductive medicine, especially in the preparation for pregnancy.
