[Preface]
The development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) relies on clinical practice. Since ancient times, numerous physicians have compiled and published their clinical insights for academic exchange and learning. This practice played a significant role in promoting academic exchange and progress, especially in the absence of modern research methods and tools. The introduction of modern research methods and evaluation systems has provided TCM with better conditions for development in the new era, while professional journals have become the best platforms for academic exchange in TCM. Through these journals, one can stay updated on the latest academic achievements and clinical knowledge.
This series selects the latest advancements in TCM clinical treatment of specialized conditions over the past decade and compiles them into this book. The treatment methods introduced here have been proven effective through clinical practice or are supported by historical records. They are characterized by ease of mastery, simplicity of application, convenient material sourcing, independence from equipment conditions, reliable efficacy, and suitability for clinical use.
The key to TCM treatment lies in syndrome differentiation. All TCM enthusiasts are advised to use the prescriptions and medications in this book under the guidance of professional physicians to avoid any unintended consequences. The treatment methods described herein are derived from publicly available journals, and the authors sincerely thank the original contributors.
As TCM gains global recognition and research progresses rapidly, the body of literature is vast. Despite our efforts, the book may contain certain shortcomings or errors due to personal experience and limitations. We kindly invite our peers to offer constructive criticism and corrections.
