Theme Day Fertility EN

This lecture has its roots in trauma. It was born October 7th, a day of acute, collective, national trauma, and has been evolving ever since.
As a Chinese practitioner specializing in woman’s health, I have had the unfortunate opportunity to see, feel and hear the effects of acute trauma on women’s mind, spirit and body. In this lecture, I would like to share some of my and my colleague’s insights and observations that I believe are valuable for practitioners working with traumatized women all over the world. As a practitioner trained in the classics, but also holding a bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences, this observation will be done through the lens of the Shang Han Lun and (a bit of) modern science.
What will we discuss?
• Shang Han Lun (SHL) physiology in a nutshell
• SHL women’s physiology and fertility
