It is a challenge for Chinese medicine students to learn and retain information about the characteristics of the hundreds of commonly used Chinese herbs, and it is equally a challenge for the junior practitioner to be sure of selecting the best herbs to use in formulae. This book brings to life, through vivid and clear discussion, the characteristics of the commonly used Chinese herbs. Through a full question and answer format, it offers a method for students and junior practitioners of learning and memorizing the functions of herbs through comparing the characteristics and the strengths of the herbs. For the experienced practitioner, the fine analysis of the characteristics of herbs allows an opportunity to make a formula with better quality and result, and the discussion of clinical applications within each question and answer unit can be used in practice to enlarge the treatment range.
Yifan Yang studied traditional and modern medicine from 1977 to 1982 at Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and, after graduation, worked there as a teacher and doctor in the Chinese Herbal Formulas Department. Besides teaching and practicing, she completed her Master's degree in Chinese Herbal Medicines and Formulas. In 1990, she moved to the Netherlands and now works there as a Practitioner in Traditional Chinese Medicine in a TCM clinic. She has also lectures on traditional Chinese herbal medicine to doctors and physiotherapists in both the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland.
