TCM practitioners encounter issues of women's health and it is essential to have a thorough understanding of these health states in order to feel adequately prepared to treat patients safely and effectively. It's equally important that the practitioner understands not only how to recognize abnormal conditions in reproductive health, but also how to recognize what is normal and needs to be left alone. By doing this, it is possible to guide a woman into the profound state of reproduction that embraces her spirit and strength and produces a healthy mother and a healthy child. Case histories and stories related to each subject will be presented. This seminar combines the physiology, psychology, science, and spirituality of the birth experience and will demystify the reproductive state.

By the end of this 4-day course, the practitioners will have a deeper understanding of childbearing, and will have the knowledge necessary to deal with problems that can arise during that time.
