Features: Formulas are the main form and method of clinical treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and "compatibility" is the core of formula studies. Compatibility patterns are a higher-level understanding and summary of formula compatibility methods. This book is a specialized work that studies the patterns of formula compatibility, the essence of their effects, and their clinical applications. It is compiled by renowned formula scholars, including Professor Li Fei of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine. The author conducts a comprehensive, systematic, and scientific analysis of 18 categories of formulas in modern formula studies, summarizing and exploring their compatibility patterns, clarifying the mechanisms of compatibility, the dosages of compatibility, and the material basis of formulas in treating diseases. Particularly, the book applies research achievements from modern formula studies, such as clinical research, experimental research, and the pharmacology and chemistry of formulas, to analyze the correlation between the chemical components of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) and their compatibility at the microscopic level. It explores the essence of formula compatibility by examining how the efficacy of TCMs changes after compatibility, elucidating the scientific connotations of formula compatibility. This book provides scientific guidance for clinical formula composition and medication use, as well as a scientific basis for new drug research and development. It is intended for reference by clinical, research, and teaching personnel in the field of TCM.
