Summary: Good But Difficult to Use
Review: This is a good introduction to the various forms of Chinese Medicine. Translating the scientific (Latin) names of herbs, animals and other ingredients would make the book much more user friendly. Several websites are more useful for researching herbal remedies and shopping for the ingredients.
