Reader comments
This book extracts the essence of "Compendium of Materia Medica" and explains it clearly and easily. I especially like the part about dietary therapy and health care, which can be directly used in daily life. But I hate those complicated Chinese medicine theories, but fortunately this book is simplified. All in all, recommended!
