Features: A pair of herbs, also known as a medicinal pair, refers to a formula that combines two herbs that are interdependent and mutually restrictive to enhance therapeutic effects. This book, written by Lü Jingshan, a distinguished disciple of the renowned traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) master Shi Jinmo, is a revised version based on the previous two editions. It provides a detailed introduction to over 370 commonly used medicinal pairs in Shi Jinmo's clinical practice, including the composition of each pair, the functions of individual herbs, the synergistic effects when used together, the primary conditions they treat, common dosages, and clinical experience. The formulas are simple yet highly effective, organized by their therapeutic functions, making it a valuable reference book for learning and applying traditional Chinese medicine and herbal formulas. It is one of the best-selling books in the military medical edition and has been translated into Japanese and Korean. This book is suitable for clinical physicians at all levels, grassroots healthcare workers, and students and faculty of medical schools.
