Chen's Medical Herbology and Pharmacology, Sep 25 2004
By S. Shueh "Book Warm" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chinese Medical Herbology & Pharmacology (Hardcover)
This is a modern pharmacology text on herbs and prescriptions. Unlike some older texts this fine reference book includes many features not found elsewhere. It includes photographic pictures of each herb and provides in both simplified and traditional Chinese characters. The chemical composition is badly needed as both modern pharmacists and patients alike need to know what they are dealing with, other than just exotic PinYin names. The pharmacological interactions and author's comments are also welcomed as the effectiveness from modern clinical studies are required in any modern medical book. The only inconvenience I found is that the constant use of this 1200+ page book caused sore on my thumb and fingers. As more and more updates are added, frequent users would prefer a digital source (e.g., XHTML, XML etc) to get the latest update. The advantage of hypertext will allow one to navigate quickly with the click of a mouse without having to flip through pages or using indices. At present, 23% of medical professionals are now using an online source and it is expected more and more will do so to stay current. In sum, this is a highly useful book which will get to its place.

One of the BEST Reference Books for Herbs out there!, Dec 26 2007
By Carlos Chapa "Doc" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chinese Medical Herbology & Pharmacology (Hardcover)
Excellent book. It's not small, actually its HUGE!Instead of repeating what most of the reviewers wrote, here is another great reason to buy this book.
I use it frequently when working WITH the patients Primary Care Physician (aka MD).
It's very easy to understand why we "usually" get the "eyebrow" look... (think of the wrestler.. the ROCK). Instead of "attempting" to explain TCM concepts, its far easier to "translate" the explanation of how the herb works, in WESTERN TERMS.
Not only do you have chemical compositions, but you also have case studies and treatments in WESTERN Diagnosis.
I also love the "reference" SECTIONS at the end of the book which divide the herbs into western diagnosis, key signs/symptoms and even gives full detail on contraindications with other herbs/supplements.
After reading this book, you really should get an automatic PhD. Blows away the book we used at school.
P.S. Go to Kinkos and make COLOR COPIES of the picture of the herbs and use them with your other books (paste them!). Far easier going to China town showing pictures and characters instead of ATTEMPTING to speak chinese.

A must for any Herbalist, Mar 25 2007
By L. E. Mcdonald - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chinese Medical Herbology & Pharmacology (Hardcover)
This text has full, easy to read information on the medicinal uses, interactions and properties of a vast range of herbs. My understanding of oriental herbal medicine is limited to say the least, but this book has piqued my interest as well as being an in depth source of ready information that is usable in my business today. The book is that readable, that it has yet to get to the office as I cant seem to put it down at home.
Listmania!
