One of the cornerstones of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), herbal medicine has        evolved over centuries of clinical practice and empirical results into a vast body        of knowledge encompassing more than 6,000 substances, most of whose effects and uses        have been documented and researched. The literature on Chinese medicinal herbs is        unparalleled and unsurpassed in the world's medical knowledge; the earliest known        pharmacological work was composed before the end of the third century B.C. The first        classical Chinese materia medica appeared during the late Han dynasty (25-22- A.D.)        and included 365 entries of botanical, zoological, and mineral substances, listing        their properties and effects. Subsequent materia medica were assembled during        virtually every dynasty from the Liang (456-536 A.D.) to the Qing (1645-1911). Among        the major treatments published during these centuries was the 30-volume Materia        Medica Arranged According to Pattern, which had 1558 entries, more than 3,000        formulae, and became the official pharmacopoeia of herbal medicine in China for 500        years.n Illustrated Chinese Materia Medica brings to the English language a lavishly        illustrated atlas of the 320 herbs used most frequently in traditional Chinese        medical practice. Each substance is profiled authoritatively in monographs that        provide pharmaceutical, botanical and English names; flavor properties and channel        tropisms; functions; clinical uses and major combinations; dosage and        administration; and precautions. Intended for medicinal and pharmaceutical chemists        as well as practitioners of homeopathic and alternative medicines, this materia        medica offers a unique blend of authenticity that is derived from knowledge of        classical Chinese literature with a clearly practical objective of persenting        valuable information in a straightforward, easily comprehensible style.
