This book is a great way to enter the study of herbs as it gives some very clear structure for understanding the similarities and differences between prescriptions. And as we are in the same city, we can get together to discuss any questions you might have!

Michael – I have been excited to read this book for some time – as I have been hearing about your adventures/studies through your family in the US for several years. After several years of focusing on Acupuncture and Bodywork, I have recently begun to study herbs. Congrats on the completion of such a large project. I am finding the book fascinating and eye opening. I look forward to learning more… and more.

Hey Michael,
Just got the book and wanted to tell you that you did a beautiful job translating it.
The little extra tidbits you threw in are really helpful and make the book all that more clinically useful and fun to read.

Well done!!!

I’ve just taken part in a week’s course with Dr. Huang in London, about his approach to chinese medicine, the classsic formulas and the constitution-based therapy.
I am fascinated by him, his way of teaching, his inspiration, his shen, his enthusiasm, intelligence, presence and personality !
His book is fantastic and makes it much easier for me being a “beginner” in using classic formulas/ treating with chinese herbs in addition to acupuncture.
It helps clearing the confusion of the “beginner” facing 1000 different formulas to treat hundeds of different manifestations, trying to find the right diagnosis and formulas.
It gives a clear and reliable basis and an approach which is pragmatic, logical, concise and clearly linked to clinical experiance and practicabilitity .
His book is likewise fascinating , very nicely edited with beautiful cartoons illustrating patients’ constitutions and herb presentations.
Big compliment to him, to his Translator Michael Max and to the editor!
One remark/proposal to help the reader, who tries to learn and think in Chinese Terminology:
as far as I am concerned I’d prefer having the pinyin-names of the herbs and the formulas first, and the English/Latin ones behind in brackets!
