Features: Traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese cuisine are two outstanding contributions of ancient Chinese laborers to humanity. Patent medicines are a rare gem in the treasure trove of traditional Chinese medicine. Although they have never been included in the vast medical classics of ancient and modern times, they are the crystallization of the medical practices and wisdom of laborers over thousands of years. Long before humans invented medicine, they were widely circulated and used in folk medicine for treating diseases. They are inexpensive, simple, easy to understand, and effective at the first try, curing many difficult and puzzling health issues in daily life. The content of this book comes from successful and proven patent medicines published in Chinese newspapers and books (including Taiwan). The book is divided into 42 chapters. The first two chapters are on geriatric and pediatric diseases, placed at the beginning to reflect the spirit of respecting the elderly and cherishing the young. The third chapter is on cardiovascular diseases, considering that this disease is a significant threat to human health and life. Subsequently, common diseases such as colds, coughs, and gastrointestinal issues are arranged, followed by diseases organized from top to bottom (from head to toe), with comprehensive diseases like skin conditions and nervous system disorders placed at the end.
