Clinical Manual of Chinese Herbal Patent Medicines
Description:
By Will MacLean, Kathryn Taylor
Pages: 736, Paperback
ISBN: 9780646408002

The extensively revised second edition (August 2003) of the Clinical Manual of Chinese Herbal Medicines describes the actions, indications, dosages and potential combinations of over 330 medicines. Since the first edition, published in 2000, the number of medicines available in the marketplace has expanded considerably. New companies have entered the market, and some previously available medicines have disappeared. Patent medicines are, for many practitioners, the cornerstone of herbal medicine practice. The author believes that patent medicines, carefully and correctly applied, can be as effective as raw herb decoctions for many common conditions. In addition they have numerous advantages, not the least of which are improved compliance, relatively low cost to the patient, and a high degree of quality control. The Clinical Manual of Chinese Herbal Patent Medicines is the most up to date text on what is actually available in the market and what is good and of good quality. It is an essential addition to the desk and bookshelf of all serious practitioners and students of Chinese medicine. In addition to the government registered medicines available in Australia, the Clinical Manual details a number of classical prescriptions currently available only in the US and Europe. Supporting the basic text are a number of features to assist in the correct usage of the medicines. - Pattern identifying features for each medicine are clearly listed with a graphical representation to enable quick reference and to assist students in learning the various patterns. - An extensive 75 page index, complete with both biomedical and TCM disorders lists an exhaustive range of common and not so common conditions that may be amenable to assistance with patent medicines. - Tables of comparisons between similar formulae are designed for fine differentiation. - Potential herb drug interactions are clearly laid out in table form. An extensive glossary describes all technical terms used in the text in clear language.
