'This collaborative work provides an overview of Chinese
Traditional Medicine and the scientific basis for its use in modern
pharmaceutical and medical practice. It covers the subject in a
well-balanced, informative way and takes us well beyond the
somewhat metaphysical rationale for this kind of medicine into the
scientific evidence that supports the use of these methods for
today’s medical care... I can recommend this book for reference
libraries in medical schools as well as botanic gardens... '
— John Edmondson for Chromatographia
