Moreover, the book also supplements modern pharmacological research and clinical applications, allowing us to understand each prescription more comprehensively. I particularly like the note section. The analysis is concise and clear, which is very helpful for beginners. Just like Liujunzi Decoction, it can not only cure spleen and stomach weakness, but also eliminate phlegm and resolve fluids. It is really a multi-purpose medicine. In short, this is a very suitable book for beginners of Chinese medicine.
