Features: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) utilizes various dosage forms for herbal medicine, including decoctions, pills, powders, ointments, and pellets. TCM also has a vast number of prescription books, often described as "books filling a room," yet there has been no specialized work on empirical powder formulas. Zhu Funan, with 43 years of medical experience, has long worked in the fields of integrated Chinese and Western medicine, including medical practice, scientific research, and teaching. He has extensive insights into herbal powders and is dedicated to promoting their development. As the chief editor, he has carefully selected contemporary empirical powder formulas and compiled them into a book titled Selected Empirical Powder Formulas of Contemporary Chinese Medicine. This is a highly meaningful work that has not been done before. The formulas collected in this book are mostly newly created by modern practitioners, as well as modified ancient formulas. Each formula is supported by clinical case studies and efficacy statistics. The sources of each formula are listed in detail, remaining faithful to the original works, which also provides convenience for future researchers. After each formula, there are editor's notes that analyze the principles of the formula composition, indicate the characteristics of the herbs, cite relevant literature, and offer application suggestions. The book covers a wide range of diseases, including internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics, and is organized by category, making it clear and easy to consult, truly a practical clinical reference.
