Features: This book is organized based on the original edition of the Ke family from the 36th year of the Qianlong reign (1771) in the Qing Dynasty. The book is divided into two volumes. The first volume first proposes the pulse diagnosis method for deficiency syndromes, then describes the three foundations, two principles, and six causes of treating deficiency, followed by discussions on syndromes, treatments, prevention, and protection, as well as clarifying easily confused conditions. The second volume mainly introduces twenty-two fundamental prescriptions for treating deficiency syndromes and eighteen debates on the errors in treating deficiency with herbs. Wang's academic approach follows the Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon), drawing from the theories of renowned medical masters of past generations such as Danxi, Dongheng, and Lizhai without rigidly adhering to them, excelling particularly in the treatment of deficiency syndromes. This book comprehensively summarizes Wang's years of clinical experience in treating deficiency syndromes, and the treatment methods and prescriptions discussed offer valuable inspiration for contemporary TCM clinical practice. This edition includes a new herbal formula index for easy reference by readers.
