DAOSHING NI, D.O.M., L.AC., PH.D.,AND JESSICA CHEN, L.AC., DIPL. O.M.Excerpted from Jessica Chen, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.Whenever my Mom and I would go for Sunday afternoon pedicures,somehow the conversation always led to her future grandchildren.She would say to me, “Mei-mei (little sister), after you give birth, I’ll takecare of you so that you can experience the proper Zuo Yue Zi”, whichtranslates in Chinese as ‘Sitting Moon.”Biting my tongue and trying to act like a goodChinese daughter, I simply nodded my head and replied,“Whatever you say, Mom.” Looking back, I realize thatmy Mom simply wanted to pass on this traditional practicewhich would ensure that I received the best care during thepostpartum period. It was important for me to learn aboutthis special practice to pass it down to my own daughter, justas my grandmother had passed it on to my Mom.In traditional times, Zuo Yue Zi was practiced in virtually every householdthat had just been blessed with a child. This care restores health and energy,and prevents future illnesses caused by the pregnancy. Eventually when sheundertakes new endeavors, [the new mother] will be more focused and willhave regained her full strength. She can prepare for her next pregnancy orgo back to work with her health completely restored.AVAILABLE SPRING 2010REVEALING THETAO TEH CHINGBy Hu HuezhiThe spiritual process of internalalchemy as described by Lao TzuBREV $19.95CHINESEVEGETARIANDELIGHTSBy Lily ChuangDao and Mao's mother presentsbeautiful vegetarian dishesBVEG $7.50t o o r d e r v i s i t w w w. t a o o f w e l l n e s s . c o m | 2 3
