Description
This work is among the most comprehensive and authoritative texts on Chinese materia medica to have been published in English. Each of the 1,266 pages is typeset to deliver the maximum of information in a readable and easily-referenced format. Each of the 670 herbs discussed is treated as a single monograph that presents the nomenclature of the medicinal substance, the Chinese therapeutic actions, dosage, cautions and contraindications, chemical composition, pharmacological effect, clinical studies and research. There are references given for each herb and the author's often add clinically-useful comments. Also discussed are toxicology and herb-drug interactions. The latter subject is of considerable importance now that this topic is included in the California license board requirements. The black and white images that accompany each herb discussion also show the substance as professionally prepared for decoction and to scale. The nomenclature includes both traditional and simplified characters for each substance, pinyin, alternate pinyin when applicable, common English name, both the botanical and pharmaceutical Latin names for each of the various applicable natural sources. Another excellent feature is the "Using this Book" chapter which details the intent and content of each section of the herbal information. The front matter is completed with a large section of color pictures for herb indentification. The images are of quality substances as they would be found in a professional pharmacy. There is also an overview section that covers the history, nomenclature, classification, growing and harvesting, preparation and processing, characteristics, clinical applications, and the simultaneous use of herbal and pharmaceutical medicines.
