This updated 2nd edition serves as both a textbook for the beginning student and an authoritative reference for the experienced practitioner. Includes over 800 medicinal formulas drawn from both classical and modern sources, with twice the information in the first edition. Each principal formula includes a discussion of therapeutic actions and indications, an analysis of the functions and interactions of the ingredients, method of preparation, and a list of modifications for customization. The book also features a pinyin-to-English cross reference to the formulas, a basic summary formulary for symptoms and disorders, as well as a comprehensive index to the formulas.
