There are 318 commonly used herbs in this book that have been categorised into 19 chapters based on their therapeutic effects. Each herb is introduced by its unique characteristics and is compared to related herbs. Guided by analysis and comparison, readers will be able to comprehend the major points of herbology, to differentiate among herbs, and to apply this knowledge with certainty.
This book has been structured to incorporate all three major points - functions, indications, and combinations - into one section. This unique structure helps students understand the application of herbs and provides a consistency in the learning process. Standardised pinyin and Latin pharmaceutical names of herbs are based on - and adopted from - the Physicians' Desk Reference.
