This modern treatise on Chinese phytotherapy is grounded in the clinical experience of the finest Chinese physicians of our era. As proof that Chinese medicine, however ancient, is also a cutting-edge medicine, it presents more than 200 contemporary formulas whose shared characteristic is effectiveness.

More than a simple formulary, this work is a masterclass in applying the great traditional principles to today's practice. It offers a wealth of new and concrete information on more than eighty conditions that are difficult to treat, such as: acne, anaemia, prostate adenoma, cataract, functional bowel disorder, dysmenorrhoea, eczema, uterine fibroid, glaucoma, chronic hepatitis, hypercholesterolaemia, high blood pressure, leucopenia, menopause, thyroid nodule, osteophyte, psoriasis, infertility, warts, shingles, and more.

Philippe Sionneau once again stands out as a major and innovative architect in the development of the Chinese pharmacopoeia, not only in French-speaking countries but also in the United States, where his works are used in many universities of Chinese medicine.

He offers here a rich, practical and original work that will captivate all practitioners and students of Chinese medicine.
