Features: Traditional Chinese Medicine has thrived for five thousand years since Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, leaving behind folk remedies that have proven to be time-tested and irreplaceable by Western medicines. For example: a single stalk of green onion can cure a hundred diseases; a piece of ginger can cure a hundred diseases; a cup of plain water can stop hiccups; freshly plucked green leaves can instantly awaken patients suffering from epilepsy. These folk remedies are simple, effective, convenient, and practical, with many of them capable of curing difficult and chronic conditions without spending a penny, leaving Western doctors in awe. Without seeing it with their own eyes, it would seem like a fairy tale, forcing Western medicine to acknowledge the greatness of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the miraculous efficacy of Chinese folk remedies. Examples of curing major illnesses with little or no cost are abundant in this book, too numerous to count. These remedies are the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation and a precious legacy accumulated over generations by our ancestors. Some say that Traditional Chinese Medicine is the national essence, while others consider folk remedies to be the "national treasure." As Chinese people, it is our duty to protect this "national treasure" left by our ancestors, promote the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine, benefit humanity, and heal the world. The compilation of this book is guided by the principle of "practicality and remarkable efficacy," focusing on the treatment of difficult, common, prevalent, and chronic diseases. It systematically analyzes the symptoms, causes, characteristics, TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, as well as the formulas, preparation methods, and effects of each disease. The entries are clear, concise, and highly convenient for household reference and study by practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This book is a valuable resource for ordinary families to treat, prevent, and maintain health.
