Features: This book is an introductory reading on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that has been (circulated) among the people for many years and has a certain influence. The "Supplementary Notes" in this book are primarily reflected in the herbs of each section, meaning that after the descriptive text and annotations for each single herb in the original book, modern TCM content is appropriately supplemented based on the current common usage of the herb in TCM clinical practice. The focus is on introducing the flexible application of the herb in clinical practice, with safe and reliable formula combinations, highlighting the scientific and practical nature of the book. Modern research shows that this product contains volatile oils and fats, including myristic acid and myristicin in the fats. Nutmeg oil, apart from its aromatic properties, also has significant anesthetic properties and hallucinogenic effects on humans, while myristicin has a moderate stimulating effect on the human brain. Its terpene components have antibacterial properties.
