Review

'This collaborative work provides an overview of Chinese Traditional Medicine and the scientific basis for its use in modern pharmaceutical and medical practice. It covers the subject in a well-balanced, informative way and takes us well beyond the somewhat metaphysical rationale for this kind of medicine into the scientific evidence that supports the use of these methods for today's medical care... I can recommend this book for reference libraries in medical schools as well as botanic gardens... '— John Edmondson for Chromatographia
