A roadmap for easily navigating the complexities of Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese Herbal Medicine: Modern Applications of Traditional Formulas presents information about herbal formulas in a practical and easy-to-access format. Bridging the gap between classroom study and the clinical setting, the book supplies information on disease symptoms and their corresponding Chinese herbal formulas. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience, the authors include more than 840 formulas that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of every patient. Integrating traditional medicine with allopathic terminology, the book provides quick reference to both Chinese and Western diagnoses.
Part I provides the herbal formulas in tables, giving quick and easy access to the information. Part II contains allopathic symptoms listed in alphabetical order within each chapter. These two sections allow users to compare TCM and allopathic diagnoses. In addition, Part III lists 640 single herbs arranged by the classification system of traditional Chinese medicine and are organised into tables so that practitioners can quickly scan for the similarities and differences of each herb. A number of cross-referenced indexes make it easy to find single herbs and herbal formulas either by their Pinyin, English, or Botanical Latin name.
The wealth of information and range of topics covered - combined with a straightforward presentation - make the book a useful clinical desktop reference and guide for practitioners and students.
