For Chinese, Hua Tuo is the most famous Chinese doctor of antiquity. He is the Master Hua alluded to in the title of this book.

The government of the People's Republic of China has recently classified 'Master Hua's Classic of the Central Viscera' as one of the 11 most important pre-modern books in the history and study of traditional Chinese medicine, ranking it with the likes of the Nei Jing, Nan Jing, and Shang Han Lun.

Long considered apocryphal by the Confucian Oligarchy, this book is, perhaps, the premier pronto- Daoist medical classic.

Undoubtedly dating from not less than the Sui dynasty (581-618 CE), this book incorporates passages from ancient Chinese medical texts now lost.

In particular, this book is a great source of information on pulse diagnosis and prognosis and the course of disease.

It is the 'locus classicus' of the theory of warm suplementation, and it contains numerous fascinating herbal and alchemical formulas for both internal and external usage.

This is the first English language translation of this great Chinese medical classic which bears the name of the most famous Chinese doctor of antiquity, Hua Tuo.

With the publication of this work, Western TCM practitioners will be able to gain an even clearer understanding of the history and development of Chinese medicine.
