In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in the classical formulae of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), some of which trace back centuries or even 1000 to 2000 years. The preservation of numerous traditional texts has endowed TCM doctors with the invaluable ability to tap into the extensive knowledge passed down through the generations. This practice has culminated in the development of Chinese phytotherapy, encompassing a variety of formulae tailored to treat specific syndromes.
Expanding the horizons of this holistic treatment approach, typically applied in TCM, holds immense potential when implemented for Western medicinal herbs. This methodology stands poised to be just as effective for Western therapists as it has been for TCM doctors.
This book incorporates both the traditional formulae of TCM as well as formulae consisting of Western herbs. Exploring 50 important formulae of TCM, the author delves into the adaptations using Western herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, sage, burdock root, buckthorn bark, etc. Some formulae also include herbs that are commonly found in most households like cardamom, caraway, fennel and aniseed.
