• A Must Have reference if you are in TCM profession
  Before I bought this text I had checked with my friends who owned this and other herbology textbooks. I eventually decided to buy this textbook.
  After really have my own, I spent a lot of time to review everything thoroughly and I was so delighted that my decision was right.
  The reason...first of all this book has colorful picture of herbs (not the fresh plant but the dried one that is the actual thing you practice). Secondly, it has Chinese name written in both old (full) and new (simplified)... more info

• One of the BEST Reference Books for Herbs out there!
  Excellent book. It's not small, actually its HUGE!
  Instead of repeating what most of the reviewers wrote, here is another great reason to buy this book.
  I use it frequently when working WITH the patients Primary Care Physician (aka MD).
  It's very easy to understand why we "usually" get the "eyebrow" look... (think of the wrestler.. the ROCK). Instead of "attempting" to explain TCM concepts, its far easier to "translate" the explanation of how the herb works, in WESTERN TERMS.
  Not only do... more info

• If you are into Herbal medicine at all, this is a text you'll need & love.
  Chen has done a great job in compiling this book. Nearly a must have for the eastern adn western information contained therein. Only thing i wish it had was an actual stand along index for pinyin names as opposed to the names being contained within the entire index.. Great book either way.

• Lots of great info
  This book deals with individual herbs. It has a TON of information about each herb including Chinese energetic actions, Western medical actions, dosage, preparation, and usage, indications, contraindications, chemical structure, drug interactions, identification, cited research and authors commentary on usage and possible combinations.
  There's not much talk about formulas but as a reference this book is tremendous.
  A+
