Based on an exhaustive review of dozens of premodern and contemporary Chinese gynecological texts and hundreds of articles appearing in Chinese medical journals as well as the author's more than 17 years of experience specializing in Chinese medical gynecology, this new book is admirable in its scope and depth, and of considerable value for practitioners who want to understand how to diagnose and treat women's complaints using Chinese medicine. With easy-to-reference charts and diagrams, this book also includes acupuncture and moxibustion scripts where appropriate, and guidelines for individually prescribing standardized desiccated extract Chinese herbal treatments.
