Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Chinese herbal medicine are an important part of the valuable heritage of our motherland. They have made significant contributions to the prosperity and development of the Chinese nation and the health of people worldwide. The efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine in preventing and treating diseases stems from its clear pharmacological effects and accurate clinical syndrome differentiation, as well as the precise selection of herbs.
In the 21st century, how to explore and enhance the theory and application of Chinese herbal medicine, use it reasonably, and ensure preventive and therapeutic effects are arduous tasks before us. Combining the pharmacology of Chinese herbal medicine with its clinical applications is undoubtedly a crucial step toward this goal. In light of this, based on clinical practice and referencing relevant literature, we have compiled the book Common Chinese Herbal Medicine Pharmacology and Clinical Applications, hoping to serve as a stepping stone for the modernization of TCM.
This book is divided into two parts: General Introduction and Specific Topics. The General Introduction elaborates on the names of Chinese herbal medicines and related content of pharmacology. The Specific Topics include 276 commonly used Chinese herbal medicines, classified and explained in 20 chapters such as Antipyretic and Analgesic Herbs, Heat-Cooling Herbs, etc. Each herb is organized by name, with sections on pharmacological effects, clinical applications, and remarks. The book discusses the latest achievements in pharmacological research, effective clinical formulas, precautions, and adverse reactions, supported by reliable evidence, concise language, practical experience, and proven efficacy.
