This handbook explains in easy to understand language how you may use Chinese herbs to build a healthier and happier life. A general introduction to the basic theories upon which Chinese herbal medicine is grounded is also provided. This is the only available study in English for the Westerner who is interested in discovering the enormous potential of Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine has had a profound impact on the Western world in recent years. Although its acceptance in scientific circles has been slow due to difficulties in explaining its mechanism of action, it has achieved wide popularity with the general public because of its remarkable healing abilities. Thus far, acupuncture and moxibustion along with acupressure and auriculotherapy have become the main techniques of treatment in the United States. Less well known, but more important, is the use of herbal formulas in the management of various medical conditions. Dr. Hsu's book represents a significant first step in introducing Chinese herbal medicine to the United States.
