Features: This book is divided into two parts, the upper and lower. The upper part is the health and beauty formula, divided into five chapters, each organized according to its health benefits. The lower part is the therapeutic beauty formula, divided into ten chapters, with several sections under each chapter, organized according to the diseases treated. Each chapter first provides a brief introduction to its basic concepts, clinical manifestations, TCM disease names, pathogenesis, and general treatment principles, enabling readers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the conditions for this type of formula. The listed therapeutic or health formulas are divided into two main parts—external use formulas and internal use formulas—based on their administration routes. For proven and unnamed formulas, the essential ones are appended to the main formulas. Each formula includes the name, source, dosage of ingredients, preparation and usage, efficacy, and main indications. Additional information such as contraindications, modifications, and modern research is provided in the remarks. Formulas with the same name but different variations are distinguished by serial numbers based on their order of appearance in the text.
