Description | The new portable edition of Chinese Herbal Medicine: Formulas & Strategies (Portable 2nd Ed.), the companion volume to Chinese Herbal Medicine: Materia Medica, is designed to provide students and practitioners with the same comprehensive and authoritative content that they’ve always relied on, but in a lightweight and more flexible format. REVIEWS"The new edition of Formulas & Strategies is that unique book that works well as a clinical manual, as well as a scholarly work. The explanations and commentaries are thought-provoking and engaging. Use it to choose a formula for a patient this week, or read it to deepen your understanding of a huge assortment of classical and modern formulas--it excels in both arenas." "[T]he richer level of information in the new Formulas & Strategies . . . actually facilitates learning because it increases our engagement with the profound elegance of Chinese medicine, making it easier for us to build a deeper relationship with the formulas and the tradition as a whole. So I’m afraid that even if you have the first edition, I don’t think you will regret shelling out for the upgrade. The new book is both indispensable and . . . awesome; throw out the old and allow the new to flourish."
