The most complete guide to caring for your health with the Chinese pharmacopoeia! This is a groundbreaking book, long awaited by the general public and by therapists seeking serious and comprehensive information on the subject. It draws on the extensive experience of Dr Daniel Caroff, a specialist in Chinese medicine.

A true reference work, this book brings together the most current knowledge as well as older, time-tested knowledge. The products used in the Chinese pharmacopoeia belong to the three kingdoms: plant (85% of all remedies), animal (13%) and mineral (2%) — which is why we speak of the Chinese pharmacopoeia rather than Chinese phytotherapy.

In this highly practical guide — one to keep and consult for treating the whole family — you will find an extraordinarily complete A–Z of illnesses and everyday complaints, as well as all the accessible remedies. Each symptom is described from the standpoint of Western medicine and then from the standpoint of TCM. A Chinese pharmacopoeia formula is then recommended.

A valuable guide that anyone interested in health and natural medicines should have at home. Intended for naturopaths, medical acupuncturists, phytotherapists, all-round TCM practitioners, as well as the general public.
