Features: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an important component of China's medical heritage. Over thousands of years, it has evolved through numerous transformations, with an extensive body of literature as vast as the sea. Each herb is unique, possessing distinct properties, therapeutic effects, and complex compatibility applications. Dosage, usage methods, toxicity, and contraindications also vary greatly, and it involves other related knowledge such as the fundamentals of TCM, diagnostics, and prescription formulation. Many medical students and young physicians have expressed that "TCM is difficult to learn and remember." This book serves as a step-by-step guide, targeting readers with varying educational backgrounds or those who have self-studied TCM. Its purpose is to help them truly grasp the issue of clinical rational drug use.
The writing is rooted in clinical practice, emphasizing practicality, and carefully selects and organizes information to ensure accuracy. It features over 200 of the most commonly used herbs in clinical practice, providing in-depth analysis and descriptions. While inheriting traditional theories, it also explores new areas of modern medical research, adopting a "integrate Chinese and Western medicine" approach. The book elaborates on the general properties and effects of the herbs, their extended applications, comparisons with similar herbs, compatibility analysis, prescription examples, pharmacological reports, and adverse reactions. It aims to comprehensively highlight the functions of TCM herbs and demonstrate their compatibility in multiple layers.
Through studying this book, readers will gain a deeper understanding of TCM, particularly in improving their practical application skills. It is primarily suitable for young physicians, senior students of TCM and integrated Chinese and Western medicine in TCM universities. The book offers significant reference value for enhancing clinical drug-use proficiency.
