    "The Time of Herbs" weaves the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine into human stories with delicate strokes.

In the collision between the traditional wisdom of "morning dew on the roots" and modern medical instruments, it reveals the profound meaning of "healing not only the disease but also the heart." The book contains meticulous details such as "nine steaming and nine drying" and the warm bond between doctors and patients, making herbs not only medicinal materials but also a connection between humanity and nature in the flow of time.
