description: John Chen (Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine) and Tina Chen (South Baylo University of Oriental Medicine) describe the uses of herbs in traditional Chinese medicine in this reference for use in the clinic, in the classroom, and in research. The book offers detailed discussion on traditional applications, dosages, and preparation of herbs, and gives information on cautions and contraindications, overdosage and its treatment, and potential interactions between herbal medicines and allopathic drugs. Some rare or potentially lethal medicinal substances that are not in contemporary use are also described to illustrate concepts or historical value. Each entry includes a b&amp;w photo of the herb or substance, keyed to color photos at the beginning of the book. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
