This conversation was fascinating and fun and felt a bit like a wild ride exploring psyche and soul. Through diverse analogies from Chinese medicine to natural history and personal growth, traditional Chinese medicine expert Sabine Whilms joins me for a conversation with incredible complexity, depth, and playfulness. It moves fast and there is more involved than you might catch the first time. This is a great dialogue to challenge the mind and awaken the soul.

Sabine has been studying classical Chinese writings on medicine ever since her Ph.D. education in Asian Studies and medical Anthropology. With a strong academic background in early Chinese philosophy, science, cosmology, and language and therefore in a historically and culturally sensitive approach to classical Chinese medicine, she now enjoys studying and teaching Chinese medicine as a living, effective, ever-changing, and much needed response to the issues of our modern times. Some of her favorite topics are gynecology and reproduction, pediatrics, medical ethics, and “nurturing life,” as envisioned by the great medieval “King of Medicinals” Sun Simiao. Sabine is happiest when engaging in a dialogue with practitioners and students of Chinese medicine on how to bring this ancient wisdom to life in our modern times. Besides teaching at the School of Classical Chinese Medicine at the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, and producing books on Chinese medicine through her publishing company, Happy Goat Productions, she is busy raising a daughter and varying numbers of dogs, chickens, goats, fruits, and vegetables. Sabine Wilms, Ph.D., is the author and translator of more than a dozen books on Chinese medicine. Her publications include translations of Sun Simiao’s writings on pediatrics (Venerating the Root) and of the Divine Farmer’s Classic of Materia Medica (Shennong Bencao Jing); two books on Wang Fengyi’s system of “Five Element Virtue Healing” (Let the Radiant Yang Shine Forth and Twelve Characters); a translation and discussion of the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic (Huangdi Nei Jing Suwen) chapter five (Humming with Elephants); and of Qi Zhongfu’s Hundred Questions on Gynecology (Nüke Bai Wen, published as Channeling the Moon).
