## Description

Chinese Herbal Medicine: Materia Medica (Portable 3rd Edition): 9780939616824: Medicine & Health Science Books @ desertcart.com

Review: Great resource - This text is required for my TCM program to earn my acupuncture degree. I've found it to be one of my favorite textbooks that I've had to buy so far. Its informative, clearly organized, and thorough. Information on the herbs include the properties, a picture, main functions organized in order of importance, and some interesting 'comments' about them as well. All the herbs are organized by category. My only complaint is how heavy it is to carry to class but what can you do? It should hopefully be the only Materia Medica that I will have to buy during the whole program!
Review: Necessary for Chinese Medicine Practitioners - I love that this book is divided into different sections of what category the herbs fall into. I also love the comparisons of which herbs to think about together because that makes it easier to learn the herbs. Well done Bensky!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Study and Reference Book!
*by J***. on February 24, 2017*

There's an index in the back for each under: latin name, pinyin name, condition. Each herb contains Pharmaceutical name, Family, Species,names in Japanese, Korean, English, the text in which it first appeared, properties, channels entered, key characteristics, dosage, cautions and contraindications, actions and indications, combinations, preparation, toxicity, quality criteria, etc...and the list goes on. It's a wonderful study guide as well as a reference guide. The cover is leather-like and the paper is fine/thin because there are over a thousand pages (similar to a bible).
