Nourishing Wisdom for Life: A Chinese Guide to Health for Families and New Mothers

"Nourishing Wisdom for Life: A Chinese Guide to Health for Families and New Mothers," by Sylvia Quan, is a healthy choice in good living with a Chinese accent. Her introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine was very insightful. I truly enjoyed the tales of wisdom by her mother. Now, I humbly appreciate the Cantonese dishes cooked by my mother.

I just received this book and found the information meaningful and relevant. The short stories emphasized the practicality of the information being shared. The layout and design enhanced the way the book was written. I am ordering more books for gifts and Mother’s Day! Guidelines for healthy living for the family!

This is an excellent resource for learning basic principles of TCM methodologies as well as proper foods for maintaining health, including recipes. I highly recommend this book as one you can turn to often for good advice.

A well written wellness journey... documented with pictures that create a story. Ms. Quan has simplified some of the recipes that are passed down from generation to generation and still hold value today. The recipes are easy to follow and instructions are precise. A fantastic book that will be passed to my daughter.

I was very impressed with the detailed explanations paired with the inspirational, personal stories Ms. Quan shared in this book. I have two daughters and will be following her advice for both of them! I can’t wait to try some of her family recipes.

My mom bought this book for me, I tried the recipes from Phase 1: Purging, cleansing, and strengthening and it really surprised me how energized I was. I highly recommend this book to anyone and will be purchasing more for my friends.

Great info- Interesting and well written. I'm buying more copies of this book for friends.

An excellent book for expecting mothers, new moms, and their families. Truly a wonderful resource in Chinese traditional approaches to fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. - Dr. Yeager

I'm so amazed this book even exists. As a 2nd generation immigrant, even though I can't read Chinese I still value the history and efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This book has allowed me to continue with making traditional healing soups for my family.
