A good resource with a poor index, Jun 26 2010
By A Friend - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chinese Herbal Medicine: Formulas & Strategies (Hardcover)
This edition is a great improvement over the last. My main complaint is the terse index which limits its clinical usefulness. It is a good reference for learning or examining the formulas themselves, but less good as an efficient reference tool in the clinic. The formula descriptions refer to symptoms common to diagnoses for which formulas are used, but the index doesn't reference those symptoms. Even responsible practitioners of Chinese herbalism who prescribe according to diagnosis and not primarily to symptoms can find it useful to have an index in a book like this that contains symptomatic and western diagnostic references...after all, the information is in the book, why not be able to find where it is? The Materia Medica by the same publisher does a much better job of indexing this material.

Gold Standard, Feb 6 2010
By Warren Sheir "Author of Ancient Wisdom, Moder... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chinese Herbal Medicine: Formulas & Strategies (Hardcover)
This text--actually more of a reference work--is the gold standard for Chinese herbal formula study. It has historical commentary and in depth discussions on patho-mechanisms that set it apart from other books. A must-have for any student of traditional Chinese medicine.

Cheaper at the school bookstore, Jan 27 2010
By JayCee - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Chinese Herbal Medicine: Formulas & Strategies (Hardcover)
Most of the time Amazon prices are competitive, but for this book the school bookstore was $30 cheaper. Check elsewhere first before buying. The book itself is fine. It is a course textbook and on the CA state acupuncture board list of required books for the licensing exam. This formulas book is authoritative, well-written and among the best of its kind.
