Product Description
This workbook explores the Heart and its three protectors—the Small Intestine, Pericardium, and San Jiao—and their psycho-emotional significance within Chinese medicine.
While the Heart is regarded as the home of the Shen—our spirit, consciousness, and capacity for presence, connection, and inner clarity—its protectors help us distinguish what we experience, maintain healthy boundaries, navigate relationships, and engage with the world around us.
Over the course of four weeks, this workbook guides you through the qualities of each of these organs. Each week is dedicated to one organ or protector, combining the foundations of Chinese medicine with reflective questions, gentle practices for integrating the theme into daily life, and a carefully selected acupressure point, essential oil, and Bach flower remedy that can support and deepen your experience.
Rather than focusing on physical symptoms, this workbook explores the psycho-emotional perspective of Chinese medicine—the inner movements that shape the way we think, feel, and relate to ourselves and others.
A companion for anyone who wishes to better understand the Heart and its protectors, become more aware of their own inner landscape, and experience the wisdom of Chinese medicine in a practical and accessible way.

Your questions, answered
Chinese Medicine – isn’t it just herbs and acupuncture?
Yes, those are part of it — but Chinese medicine is much more than that.
Well-known therapies such as acupuncture and herbal medicine are important components, but the real depth lies in its holistic way of understanding life.
Chinese medicine means that:
- everything in life — our emotions, symptoms, illnesses, and even different treatment approaches — can be understood and interpreted through its perspective.
- whenever something affects the body, it can be understood in Chinese medical terms.
- whenever the body “speaks,” Chinese medicine helps us learn its language.
In short: Chinese medicine is a living wisdom that helps you recognize patterns and connections in everyday life — far beyond individual therapies.
Are protected or endangered animal species used in Chinese medicine?
No. This is no longer common practice and is strictly rejected by responsible practitioners and providers.
The protection of endangered species is very important to us.
Modern Chinese medicine works with plant-based, mineral, and everyday-accessible substances. The use of products derived from protected animal species is ethically and legally unacceptable and plays no role in our work or offerings.
Is it true that Chinese medicine is against raw food, dairy, and bread?
No — not in such a general way.
Chinese medicine always focuses on the individual. Nutrition depends on constitution, lifestyle, and current condition — what is supportive for one person may not be for another.
For some people, for example those with Yin deficiency, internal heat, or a strong digestive center, raw foods or yogurt can be very suitable and supportive. For others, they may be less appropriate.
There are no rigid rules or bans — instead, there is an invitation to listen closely to what truly nourishes you.
Tip: In the membership, you learn how to understand your body better and interpret its signals — helping you discover what genuinely supports and nourishes you.
