 | | Combining Western Herbs and Chinese Medicine: Principles, Practice & Materia Medica |
Jeremy Ross
This is the first in a series of books that develops an integrated system of Western herbs and Chinese medicine. It combines 2,000 years of Western herbal tradition with traditional Chinese medicine and modern pharmacological research. Published in 2003, the unique approach set forth in this volume offers a new level of understanding that can resolve many of the difficulties and controversies of the past. It provides a broader and deeper understanding of the individual herbs, enabling more sophisticated herbal combinations that are both safer and more effective.
The text is specially organized and designed for clear, easy access to a vast amount of useful data:
A foundation text and reference for both students and practitioners, with discussion of:
50 Western herbs: unparalleled detail reveals the unique character of each herb
380 herb pairs: the basic units for building herb combinations
150 herb combinations: a wealth of practical detail with essential comparison tables
1,500 references: pharmacological and clinical research is cited and fully discussed
Special emphasis on the following topics:
Principles of combining herbs: how to make safe and effective combinations
Practical herb use: full details of herb dose, dispensing, and administration
Safety: Three special chapters on safety issues. Each of the 50 herb chapters discusses cautions and contraindications
Data access: Extensive cross references, over 800 tables, plus a unique 70-page index for easy access to data on individual herbs, herb pairs, herb combinations, herb actions, Chinese syndromes, and disordersREVIEWS"With his deep knowledge of Chinese medicine, Western herbal medicine, and Western sciences, Jeremy Ross is uniquely qualified to undertake the important and difficult task of interpreting the nature and functions of Western herbs according to the principles of Chinese medicine."
