Description:
Jade Remedies is a comprehensive, detailed and contemporary reference source for the remedies used in Oriental herbal medicine. Based on many years of research into historical and modern sources, it presents over 450 plant, mineral and animal remedies used worldwide in Chinese medicine. The remedies are divided into four types; "restoratives," "stimulants," "relaxants," and "sedatives." The text provides up-to-date information on botanical sources, plant habits, biochemistry, pharmacology, energetic properties, therapeutic actions and indications, preparation forms, dosages, cautions and contraindications. The primary remedies are illustrated with botanically accurate wood-block prints of the plants in the wild from the Zhi Wu Ming Shi Tu Kao of 1848, the Chinese manual of medicinal plant illustrations. Jade Remedies represents three 'firsts.' One, it spells out clearly and concisely the functions and uses of Chinese herbs in easily-understood Western terms. Two, it summarizes, distills and evaluates the modern pharmacological uses of Oriental remedies by Western medical doctors in East Asia. Three, it may be the first published text that organizes the Oriental materia medica according to Western body systems rather than the traditional energetic treatment categories. The information on these remedies sought by the student, practitioner or researcher unfamiliar with Oriental medicine is immediately available. Jade Remedies is an invaluable and unique resource for those wishing to enhance their health, for those being treated with Oriental medicine, as well as for all students and practitioners of the healing arts.
