Features: Single herbs are a treasure of traditional Chinese medicine. For thousands of years, they have been favored by the general public and medical workers for their simplicity, convenience, time-saving, cost-effectiveness, and remarkable efficacy. The author has referenced a vast number of ancient medical texts and modern medical works, combining years of collected data and practical experience from engaging in medical work on a part-time basis. Through careful selection and diligent organization, this book has been compiled. The book collects 126 common, frequent, and difficult-to-treat diseases from departments such as Internal Medicine, Oncology, Gynecology, Pediatrics, Otolaryngology, Surgery, and Dermatology, totaling over 5,230 selected formulas. The outstanding feature of this book is that each disease is treated with only one herb. Some diseases have multiple formulas selected, while others have ten, dozens, or even hundreds. Some diseases even have over a hundred formulas selected. Most of the selected formulas are annotated with their sources or origins for readers to reference. Given that current names for diseases in traditional Chinese and Western medicine are not yet unified, some disease names in the book adopt traditional Chinese medical terminology, while others use Western medical names. Many of the formulas in the book are excerpted from ancient Chinese medical texts. Some have been converted from ancient to modern units of measurement, while others remain unchanged. This book serves as a trusted guide for patients and a valuable companion for doctors, making it a highly practical popular science book. A sequel to this book is currently being compiled, covering over 300 diseases and nearly 10,000 selected formulas.
