Chinese Materia Medica Combinations and Applications

Xu Ling & Wang Wei

Contains more than 350 monographs describing the functions, indications, combinations and applications of commonly used materia medica.

"The harmonization of herbs within a formula is comparable to a balanced composition in a beautiful painting. Adapting a formula to a patient's particular disharmony requires a profound knowledge of single herbs and the differences and peculiarities of herbs in the same categories with similar effects. This book is an invaluable help to students and practitioners, precisely for such a task. It presents the herbs in a very clear, easily memorized way {and}' can be highly recommended as an excellent clinical reference text."
