 Great for students! ( rosey7 )
This is an awesome quick reference book for students of TCM. I used it when studying single herbs and it is even more helpful when studying formulas. It is perfect for the student who really wants to learn about the specific role each individual herb takes in a formula.

 Concise, convenient, and comprehensive ( acuwriter )
This book contains descriptions of the 300 most commonly prescribed herbs. The book is small enough to fit comfortably in my pocket, but it spends most of the time in our herbal pharmacy. It contains all the information I need, regarding pertaining category, channels, properties, functions and indications, dosage, and warnings and contraindications. It is easy for me to use to adjust formulas or to use as a starting point in creating new formulas for my patients. I was a student of Dr. Xu, and I have first-hand knowledge of her expertise and clarity in explaining the use of herbs. For a layperson, this book would be useful for finding out more about the herbs used in any prescription you receive.
