Features: The role of traditional Chinese medicine is extensive; it is not the case that one herb can only treat one disease. Often, a single herb has multiple therapeutic effects. However, what are the key and effective aspects in each therapy? This book addresses this point by combining the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine with modern medical analysis and laboratory data to identify the certain and effective functions of herbs and determine which diseases they can treat. The herbs selected in this book are based on the principles of being common, non-toxic, free of adverse reactions, stable in effect, and certain. It can be used as a safe self-treatment guide; it can also serve as a method to assist in treatment, or even as a preventive measure against disease. "Prevention is better than cure," and if this can be achieved, it will be the author's greatest hope.
