Features: "Formulas" are commonly referred to as prescriptions or medicinal recipes and are an essential component of the TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) diagnostic and therapeutic system. Clinically, the diagnostic and therapeutic approach is often summarized in four words: "Lǐ, Fǎ, Fāng, Yào." Here, "Lǐ" refers to the theory of TCM, serving as the guiding principle that permeates the entire process of "Fǎ, Fāng, Yào." The character "Fāng" specifically denotes formulas. In the process of syndrome differentiation and treatment, the completion of "Fǎ, Fāng, Yào" must be guided by TCM theory and closely integrated with clinical four diagnostic methods and related data. Through syndrome differentiation, establishing treatment principles, selecting formulas, and choosing medications, a comprehensive consideration, integrated analysis, and in-depth deliberation must be conducted before the final formulation of the "formula" can be completed. This book collects over 200 commonly used formulas from predecessors and combines them with dozens of personal experience formulas, divided into ten chapters. The first chapter discusses the issues to be noted when using clinical formulas; the second chapter covers formulas for regulating qi, managing blood, and nourishing the body; the third chapter discusses dispersing, harmonizing, and treating interior-exterior patterns; the fourth chapter covers expelling wind, dispelling cold, and clearing heat; etc. The fifth chapter discusses clearing fire, dispelling summer heat, and moisturizing dryness; the sixth chapter discusses eliminating phlegm, promoting digestion, and purging; the seventh chapter discusses inducing vomiting, consolidating, and killing parasites; the eighth chapter discusses heavy (), detoxification, and anticancer formulas; the ninth chapter discusses commonly used formulas in gynecology and pediatrics; and the tenth chapter introduces some of my personal experience formulas.
