This comprehensive handbook for Chinese medicine students and practitioners delves into the intricate realm of gender, physiology, relationships, and sexual attraction, offering a unique perspective from the realm of Chinese medicine. It is disheartening to note that many conventional diagnostic and treatment techniques are rooted in gender biases, which often fail to cater to clients who identify as LGBT or gender/sex/relationship fluid, resulting in underserved communities. In her groundbreaking work, Catherine Lumenello delves into the rich tapestry of Daoist, Buddhist, and Confucianist roots of Chinese medicine, exploring the energetic pathways, the Three Treasures, and other theoretical frameworks to gain a deeper understanding of the emotional etiology and treatment concerns prevalent within these client groups.
The book encompasses a wide range of topics, including transgender issues, asexuality, sex addiction, sexual realignment surgery, and polyamory. By incorporating client examples, illustrations, and a diverse array of treatment approaches, this book serves as a radical re-examination of the immense potential of Chinese medicine. Through its holistic and inclusive approach, it empowers practitioners to provide compassionate and effective care to individuals from diverse backgrounds, fostering a more inclusive and equitable healthcare system.
