Reader comments
This book is very practical! It not only has detailed explanations, but also has many colorful pictures, so that people like me who have no foundation in traditional Chinese medicine can easily understand it. I especially like the part about the theory of medication, such as "If cold is from the bottom up and there is floating fire, then hot medicine should be supplemented by cold medicine." This method of combining cold and heat is very wonderful. Moreover, the content in the book is based on the essence of the ancients and is practical for modern people. It is really good!
