Features: This book is a carefully selected and compiled collection of effective secret prescriptions and empirical formulas from renowned traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) masters, gathered over more than 40 years by the author from various TCM journals, medical classics, important TCM documents, and internal materials. These prescriptions have been repeatedly verified in clinical practice and proven to be highly effective. The author has meticulously compiled them into handwritten notes such as Medical Notes, Effective Prescriptions from Famous TCM Practitioners, Gathering of Secret Prescriptions from Renowned TCM Masters, A Hundred Effective Prescriptions for Various Diseases, and Clinical Empirical Prescriptions, resulting in over 10,000 selected secret and empirical formulas.
The book is divided into three parts and ten sections, covering clinical disciplines such as Internal Medicine, Surgery, Gynecology, Pediatrics, Urology, Orthopedics, Dermatology, Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology, and Oncology. It includes more than 1,700 effective secret prescriptions for over 320 common and frequently occurring diseases and some difficult-to-treat conditions. Additionally, the author has included some secret and empirical prescriptions that were self-formulated or passed down through family and master-disciple relationships.
Organized by category and disease, each prescription is presented in eight detailed sections: "Composition," "Usage," "Function," "Explanation," "Indications," "Modifications," "Effectiveness," and "Remarks." The source of each prescription is listed at the beginning, ensuring a clear and systematic arrangement. Adhering to the principle of "extracting the essence and focusing on practicality," the book has been thoroughly organized, repeatedly verified, and revised four times over a decade before being finalized under the title: Seeking the Truth in Secret Prescriptions.
