Reader comments
This "Comprehensive Prescriptions for Women" is a very valuable ancient Chinese medicine book! It has in-depth research on women's menstrual regulation issues, just like a caring best friend sharing health tips with you. It reminds me of the "Huangdi Neijing", which is also a classic of traditional Chinese medicine. Moreover, the description of female physiology in the book feels like Xue Baochai in "A Dream of Red Mansions", who is well-educated and knowledgeable in medical science. In short, this book can not only help us understand our own bodies better, but also learn a lot about traditional Chinese medicine!
