Features: The purpose of this book is to provide a concise and practical manual of medical prescriptions for common internal diseases for clinical practitioners of both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, as well as patients with internal diseases. With this book in hand, it aims to offer convenient and efficient services. The book collects 94 common internal diseases, each using modern medical disease names and diagnoses (based on the current unified teaching materials of internal medicine in higher medical colleges). It first outlines the definition, incidence, main clinical manifestations, prognosis, and traditional Chinese medicine disease-syndrome classification of each disease.

The main symptoms are concise and clear, treatment methods are straightforward, prescriptions are rigorous, and modifications are versatile. Many diseases also compile easily applicable and practical single prescriptions and empirical prescriptions for clinical practitioners and patients to choose from. The book does not aim for sophistication but prioritizes practicality and convenience.
