The book is divided into 21 chapters based on efficacy, systematically introducing the names, aliases, sources, original plants (animals, minerals), habitats, medicinal properties, collection and processing, chemical components, pharmacological actions, flavors and meridians, functions and main indications, dosages and usage.
