Features: Xie Haizhou, a renowned traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner from the Guang'anmen Hospital of the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, possesses extensive knowledge and clinical expertise. He has achieved remarkable therapeutic results, with profound insights into the study of Chinese herbal medicine and formulas. With noble medical ethics and a legacy of countless students, this book aims to comprehensively and authentically reflect the clinical academic experiences of Elder Xie, offering inspiration to future generations. The content is divided into three parts:
Biographical Sketch of the Practitioner: A concise introduction to the life of Xie Haizhou, his upbringing in a TCM family, his tutelage under esteemed masters, his broad learning, his adaptation of ancient formulas, his flexible treatment approaches, his preference for innovative formulas, his exceptional medical skills, his tireless dedication to teaching, and his compassionate spirit as a great physician.
Treatment of Specific Diseases: The core of the book, covering 64 typical diseases across internal, external, gynecological, and pediatric specialties. Each case is meticulously analyzed, highlighting both Elder Xie’s unique academic thoughts and the distinctive features of his herbal prescriptions.
Post-Clinical Musings: Primarily introduces research findings on conditions such as cerebral palsy and arthralgia, the application of "Xie’s Three Common Methods" (clearing heat and detoxification, promoting blood circulation to remove stasis, and reinforcing the body’s), and insights into "the art of Xie’s herbal prescriptions." It also explores the modern application of ancient formulas and the use of self-invented prescriptions. If the "Treatment of Specific Diseases" section is likened to the "principal and deputy" roles in formula study, then "Post-Clinical Musings" and pharmaceutical research can be compared to the "auxiliary and envoy" roles. Together, they harmonize the principal, deputy, auxiliary, and envoy, thereby highlighting Elder Xie’s academic thoughts and achievements.
