The article criticized certain popular TV shows for creating heroines who were driven, neurotic, anxiety prone, and undernourished. Although the headline was obviously a generalization about American women, it was not without merit. I am a Western woman who is also a Doctor of Oriental Medicine.
Over the years I have seen that the medical problems of most women who come to me are rooted in a hormonal imbalance brought on by doing too much while getting too little physical and emotional nourishment, not unlike the feeble heroines.
I mean women of all ages, women whose medical problems range from painful periods, mood swings, fatigue, and insomnia to infertility, uterine fibroids, hot flashes, heart disease, and osteoporosis. Whereas Western medicine emphasizes the separate domains and functions of various kinds of hormones in the body, Eastern medicine emphasizes the context within which they exist and how they relate to each other.
Having the right balance of these hormones gives us plenty of energy, deeper sleep, healthier menstrual cycles, happier dispositions, easier menopauses, healthier hearts, stronger bones, and much, much more.
When our whole lives are stressful, this imbalance becomes chronic. Healing begins when we start to live the life we really want to be living. Then we have less stress and the levels of stress hormones in our bloodstream drop. When our stress hormones are not rampant, our sex hormones have a better chance to work the way they are supposed to, and we experience the well-being that comes from having balanced hormones. Many modern women mistake the feeling of being under stress for having energy, and putting ballast in the stomach for getting real sustenance.
We think a woman has a lot of energy, for example, if she is a soccer mom and a full-time career woman. Perhaps she grabs some fast food, a doughnut, or even healthy food, but she bolts it down to ground her so she can continue running. The Eastern concept of energy is quite different from that of our Western Energizer Bunny. In the East, energy is called qi also spelled chi or prana and it is the life force.
Have you ever seen someone practicing tai chi or qi gong? She nourishes her life force with whole and freshly cooked food that agrees with her, by breathing clean air, and by keeping good company. She has balance in her life. This balance, in turn, affects her life: Her equanimity is reflected in her hormonal levels.
They, too, are in balance. She is happy and her health is hearty. Her life force, or qi, is strong and its flow unimpeded. You can also see Appendix B for more discussion of prana. She needs help. It is one thing to go through a crunch period of high stress for a day, a week, a month, even two months.
