Each book focuses on a specific disease, highlighting the characteristics of TCM in treating difficult-to-treat conditions. It strives to be comprehensive, novel, in-depth, and practical. For each disease, it provides a relatively thorough introduction to the basic formulas, patent medicines, Chinese herbal medicines, single formulas and empirical prescriptions, dietary therapy, acupuncture, external treatments, and Tuina methods. It also emphasizes the TCM treatment methods for difficult-to-treat conditions where Western medicine struggles but TCM shows better efficacy. Based on TCM treatment as the primary approach, it integrates Western and Chinese medicine, complementing each other and achieving a harmonious integration.
