Clinical Handbook of Chinese Herbs is a unique desk reference for
practitioners using Chinese herbs. In a concise and easy-to-read
format, Will Maclean presents a large amount of clinically useful
information about individual medicinal substance. The use of tables
to summarize common applications of the medicinals allows one to
see what symptoms a specific substance is particularly effective at
addressing. Furthermore, the text contains information about the
way that processing the medicinals changes their functions. This
reference text is a valuable addition to the library of books that
practitioners of Chinese herbal medicine will want to have on their
office shelves.
