Features: This book takes a perspective from traditional culture, using engaging anecdotes, notes, stories, and medical case studies as starting points. It elaborates on traditional Chinese medicine knowledge in an accessible and easy-to-understand manner through the form of medicinal dialogues. The book is divided into two parts: the General Theory Part and the Specific Theory Part. The General Theory Part introduces content such as the naming of traditional Chinese medicine, origins, properties, adverse reactions, and basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. The Specific Theory Part is organized into nine major categories based on the medicinal parts and provides a relatively comprehensive explanation of over 90 commonly used clinical traditional Chinese medicines (with an additional introduction of more than 40 related medicines). Each medicine is described in terms of its medicinal history, properties, efficacy, effective formulas, and modern research. It closely integrates single-herb medicine with commonly used traditional Chinese patent medicines related to these herbs, including their composition, characteristics, functions, indications, usage, dosage, and precautions, offering guidance for selecting traditional Chinese patent medicines. The book is rich in content, with a profound cultural foundation, integrating knowledge, interest, and practicality. It is suitable for beginners in traditional Chinese medicine to read and learn, serves as a valuable guide for the public in health care and the use of traditional Chinese patent medicines, and can also be used as a reference book for students and teachers in medical colleges, as well as for clinical, teaching, and research personnel in related fields of traditional Chinese medicine.
