It discusses traditional Chinese medicine and texts that have contributed to the development of herbology including Shennong Ben Cao Jing and Bencao Gangmu. This book also tackles Chinese patent medicines made of standard herbal formulas such as Anshen Buxin Wan, Baizi Yangxin Wan, Baohe Wan, Bazhegn Wan, and many others. Readers will also learn about common herbs used for medicinal purposes including ginseng, gua sha, qigong, tui na, medicinal mushrooms, wolfberry, and many others.
