In this introduction to Chinese herbs we will examine a brief history of herbal medicine and the development of herbal theory, tastes, actions and more. We will also look at how a herbal prescription is formulated with the Emperor, minister, assistant and envoy.
Finally, we explore the different formulations available and learn how to identify common ‘patterns’ for colds and flu in order to buy the most suitable patent medicines from the local pharmacy.
