Ten Key Formula Families in Chinese Medicine provides a practical path to a deeper understanding of traditional Chinese herbal formulas. Dr. Huang discusses the core aspects of the ten most important families of formulas in the classical formula tradition in a way that is both profound and accessible. By introducing the concept of constitutions and the attendant vulnerabilities of those constitutions to certain types of disorders, he hands the reader a very useful key to understanding how and when to use these formulas in the clinic. The ten families of formulas are grouped around the following herbs: Cinnamon - Cinnamomi Ramulus Ephedra - Ephedrae Herba Bupleurum - Bupleuri Radix Gypsum - Gypsum fibrosum Rhubarb - Rhei Radix et Rhizoma Coptis - Coptidis Rhizoma Aconite accessory root - Aconiti Radix lateralis preparata Dried ginger - Zingiberis Rhizoma Astragalus - Astragali Radix Pinellia - Pinelliae Rhizoma preparatum For each family of formulas, Dr. Huang describes the associated presentation and constitutional aspects common to all members of the family, then turns to the individual formulas that are especially useful for treating particular aspects of that presentation. The discussion is embellished with case histories and relevant clinical research.

A Manual of Classic Formulas for Primary Care is a practical distillation of the learning and clinical experience of Huang Huang, one of the pre-eminent proponents of the Classic Formula (jing fang) approach to herbal medicine in present-day China. Based primarily on the formulas of Zhang Zhong-Jing, this approach flexibly applies the formulas in the treatment of a wide variety of conditions, paying particular attention to the background state of the patient and the specifics of the presentation. Dr. Huang emphasizes that when using classic formulas, one must adhere to the adage, “For this presentation, use this formula.” The book is divided into two parts. In the first, forty-two important and foundational classic formulas are discussed with a focus on their composition, formula presentation, disease indications, patient characteristics, and other insights from Dr. Huang’s extensive experience. These commonly used classic formulas will enable practitioners to effectively deal with diseases that are seen in the modern primary care setting.The second part discusses thirteen commonly seen biomedical disease categories and pairs them with key classic formulas that are used in their treatment. This material is derived from a wide variety of clinical reports as well as Dr. Huang’s own clinical experience. Case studies accompany each formula, revealing the rationale for the formula’s use.

A Manual of Classic Formulas for Primary Care

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), with a history of thousands of years, is the crystallization of the ancient Chinese people's experience in their struggle against diseases. It is also an integral part of their splendid culture. Under the influence and direction of classic Chinese philosophies, it has undergone long-term medical practice and infiltrated into, as well as absorbed from, other subjects at that time, thus gradually evolving into a unique medical theoretical system that contributed significantly to the health care of the Chinese people and the prosperity of the Chinese nation. This 7-volume set comprehensively covers the main components of TCM, such as Basic Theory, Diagnosis, Prescription, Chinese Materia Medica, Tui Na, Acupuncture and Moxibustion. 
 Readership: Medical professionals, both Western medical doctors and TCM practitioners, particularly those practicing in Australia, Europe and America; Chinese medicine educators, clinical and basic Chinese medicine researchers and health science students (particularly Chinese medicine students); herbalists, gerontology researchers, nutritionists, public health specialists (health policy departments in ministries of health and universities); professionals at the World Health Organization and affiliated institutions, and pharmaceutical companies; librarians of TCM professional associations and teaching institutes and the lay reader who either wants general knowledge or wishes to understand how TCM can help a friend, relative or loved one.
