DESCRIPTION:
The objective is to make it interesting, readable and of practical clinical significance to today’s practitioners.. Each chapter or section is introduced with an overview, key points are highlighted and summarised at the end and, in addition, both Ancient Applications and Modern Applications are described. It also explains the consequences of incorrect treatment and discusses how the omission or addition of even one herb to a formula can affect its efficacy. This is the book that makes understanding a complex classic text easy. It is not just a study of coughs and colds but lays the groundwork for Chinese medical theory and its strategies of treatment. Robin Marchment has translated each clause in a way which is faithful to the original Chinese whilst still making the meaning accessible to the English-speaker. The explanations and discussions use clear English in a free-flowing lecturing style which holds the reader’s interest. It anal
M. Young said Great book!. This really starts to put the classic Shang Han Lun in perspective. Breaks it down, line by line and expands and further explains, for modern times how the writings of the Shang Han Lun fit. Very well done with clinical examples, again, of ancient formulas.. Amazon Customer said Shang Han Lun Explained doesn't inpart any new, personal opinion by the doctor.. I have read literally hundreds of books on Shang Han Lun in Chinese, Japanese, English and French books for the past Shang Han Lun Explained doesn't inpart any new, personal opinion by the doctor. Amazon Customer I have read literally hundreds of books on Shang Han Lun in Chinese, Japanese, English and French books for the past 40 years, and I must say, in all honesty, the book has nothing personal by the doctor (author) to contribute to the study of the subject hitherto written in the last 1,000 years. I really wanted to see her personal, clinical opinions on every formula in the book, but it is unfortunately another book with the same arguments as many other books from the past. 0 years, and I must say, in all honesty, the book has nothing personal by the doctor (author) to contribute to the study of the subject hitherto written in the last 1,000 years.

"Five Stars" according to V. Rawls Whittlesey. Very helpful explanations.
