This publication is a case study of the uses and medicinal properties of some of the plants used in traditional Chinese medicine. The author has used a lot of sources, including primary literature and references to texts. The photos are helpful as well as the illustrations.

This is a beautifully illustrated book about medicinal plants. I purchased this book in the hopes of learning more about some of the plants I use for healing my garden and my body. I have been using medicinal plants since I was really young.

I’ve always been interested in the healing properties of plants. I wanted a book that would provide a comprehensive overview of medicinal plants and would also help me to identify them. A Guide to Medicinal Plants is exactly what I needed.
