Medical Herbology and Pharmacology"
By Chen & Chen
Each of the 670 herbs discussed is treated as a single monograph that
presents the nomenclature of the medicinal substance, the Chinese
therapeutic actions, dosage, cautions and contraindications, chemical
composition, pharmacological effect, clinical studies and research. There
are references given for each herb and the author's often add
clinically-useful comments. Also discussed are toxicology and herb-drug
interactions. The latter subject is of considerable importance now that this
topic has been recently (July 14,2003) added to the California license board
requirements. The black and white images that accompany each herb discussion
also show the substance as professionally prepared for decoction and to
scale. BK1934
