This book is the second, revised edition of a practical handbook of Chinese medical patterns with their disease causes and mechanisms, signs and symptoms, treatment principles, guiding formulas, main modifications, and acupuncture treatments. It is meant for both the student and the clinical practitioner. The authors have included numerous patterns previously not described in the English language literature as well as many complex patterns which are commonly seen in real-life practice in the West. It also includes a symptom-sign index and a formula index for easy reference. All medicinal names in this new edition conform to Bensky et al.'s Chinese Herbal Medicine: Materia Medica 3rd edition, and all Chinese medical terminology corresponds to Wiseman and Feng's A Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine. Ingredients in Chinese medicinal formulas begin with their pinyin names and are listed down for easier reference. In addition, this new edition contains a number of case histories for use in problem-based learning (PBL) along with suggested answers, thus making it even more useful in the classroom

This book describes the step-by-step process of composing a TCM herbal formula. It describes a simple, straight- forward methodology of moving from disease diagnosis to pattern discrimination to treatment principles and, from there, to choosing a guiding formula and modifying it with additions and subtractions to make it more perfectly fit each individual patient. This book fills in much that is left unsaid by other books on Chinese medicine and formulas and clarifies what other authors have left obscure. In China, the information in this book is absorbed by osmosis in supervised clinical practice under mentors with decades of experience. Therefore, most Chinese books do not feel it necessary to explain all this information. The second half of the book is devoted to discussing approximately 150 variations of the formula, Si Wu Tang (Four Materials Decoction), in the light of the material presented in the first half.
