This book is designed for the serious student of Chinese medicine.
Both the beginner and advanced practitioner will find this
information useful from school to everyday clinical practice. The
first section of the book covers a basic history and evolution of
the six stages of disease. Chapter Two reviews various theoretical
concepts related to the six stages. Symptoms and treatment
concepts, according to the Chinese classic Shang Han Lun, are
examined in Chapter Three. In Chapter Four complications of
combined and overlapping stages of disease show how disease many
times will not follow the normal progression of the Six Stage
Model. An in- depth study of conformations and the basic treatment
concepts for each of the stages are presented in Chapter Five. A
quick overview of the twenty-four basic classifications of Chinese
herbal formulas will be found in Chapter Six. Primary herbs for
each stage and their related formulas are examined in Chapter
Seven. Chapter Eight deals with differential diagnosis of syndromes
and treatment. Conformations for formulas and a comparison to other
formulas from the Classic Shang Han Lun (Treaties on Fever and
Chills) and the Jen Kuei Yao Lue (Perceptions from the Golden
Chamber) are the main emphasis in Chapter Nine. Practitioners will
find Chapter Ten a very useful clinical reference of all ninety
herbal formulas (in table form) found in this book. In Chapter
Eleven, there are four major lists dealing with the names of
individual herbs. The first three lists are a cross reference for
herbs listed by the Pin Yin, Pharmaceutical, and Common names. The
fourth list gives the classification and function of the 118 herbs
used in this work.
