A Clinical Guide to Chinese Herbs and Formulae

Description:

By Chen Song Yu and Li Fei
Foreward by Giovanni Maciocia
304 pages, 202mm x 262mm
Hardback
Churchill Livingstone, 1993
ISBN: 0- 978-0-443-04680-3

Basic Information:
This book is designed to ease the path of the student in what can be the daunting task of learning Chinese materia medica and formula. In this learning process it is of the essence to be able to discriminate, often to the degree of fine nuances, between various different materia medica and formula, to be able to see both their similarities and their differences. Without this discrimination the student will have learned nothing.

The task of picking out these distinctions has been greatly eased for the student in this extremely useful book. Using the discussions about the similarities and differences between different herbs and formulae made so reader-friendly here, the student is then equipped to take her or himself further and make his or her own distinctions.

This is a book that will last a student a long time: from the starting point of learning materia medica; then continuing to learning formulae later; and finally to learning how many common diseases are differentiated according the syndrome and treated with differing formulae accordingly.

Even after a student has passed the exams and has become a practitioner, this book can remain as a guide, a base to which to return for recapitulation and self-development.
