Studying Chinese herbal medicine is an arduous task that is similar to learning a language. The first step, familiarizing yourself with the medicinal substances, corresponds to accumulating a sufficient vocabulary. But words alone are not enough. Before you can speak a language, you must understand the rules of syntax and grammar. And before you can 'talk' to the body with Chinese herbal medicine, you must understand the formulas and strategies that underlie them. This is the syntax and grammar of Chinese herbal medicine.

Chinese Herbal Medicine: Formulas & Strategies is the companion volume to Chinese Herbal Medicine: Meteria Medica, which provides basic information about the medicinal substances or 'vocabulary' of traditional Chinese herbal medicine.

Included in this volume are descriptions of nearly 600 medicinal formulas arranged in 18 chapters by function. For each 250-plus principle formulas there is a discussion of its therapeutic actions and indications, an analysis of the functions of the ingredients and how they interact, method of preparation, and a list of modifications to customize the formula to the specific needs of the patient
