Huang Huang, a professor at the Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is one of the most influential physicians and teachers in Chinese medicine today. His most popular work, Ten Key Formula Families in Chinese Medicine, has been reprinted many times in China, translated into Japanese, and republished in Taiwan.
\nIt has now been translated into English by Michael Max.
\nIn this work, Dr. Huang discusses the core aspects of the ten most important families of formulas in the classical formula tradition in a way that is both profound and accessible. By introducing the concept of constitutions and the attendant vulnerabilities of those constitutions to certain types of problems and symptoms, he hands the reader a very useful key to understanding how and when to use these formulas in the modern clinic.
\nThe ten families of formulas are grouped around the following herbs:
\n\u0095 Cinnamon \u0096 Cinnamomi Ramulus (gu\u00ec zh\u00ef)
\n\u0095 Ephedra \u0096 Ephedrae Herba (m\u00e1 hu\u00e1ng)
\n\u0095 Bupleurum \u0096 Bupleuri Radix (ch\u00e1i h\u00fa)
\n\u0095 Gypsum \u0096 Gypsum fibrosum (sh\u00ed g\u00e4o)
\n\u0095 Rhubarb \u0096 Rhei Radix et Rhizoma (d\u00e0 hu\u00e1ng)
\n\u0095 Coptis \u0096 Coptidis Rhizoma (hu\u00e1ng li\u00e1n)
\n\u0095 Aconite Accessory Root \u0096 Aconiti Radix
\nlateralis preparata (zh\u00ec f\u00f9 z\u00ee)
\n\u0095 Dried Ginger \u0096 Zingiberis Rhizoma (g\u00e4n ji\u00e4ng)
\n\u0095 Astragalus \u0096 Astragali Radix (hu\u00e1ng q\u00ed)
\n\u0095 Pinellia \u0096 Pinelliae Rhizoma preparatum (zh\u00ec b\u00e0n xi\u00e0)<\/p>\n
For each herb family, Prof. Dr. Huang provides an introduction to the relevant constitutional aspects and significant indicators to look for when deciding whether a member of each herb family is appropriate for a particular patient. He then describes the most important and useful members of the herb family, including brief discussions of relevant research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
