Description
Every Chinese medicine herbalist knows that the Shang Han Lun lays the foundations for effective herbal prescriptions, however, the text itself can be confronting and confusing without proper guidance and explanations.
This is the book that makes understanding this complex classic text easy. Greta Young benefits the reader with her years of expertise in studying and lecturing in the classics and guides us through the myriad clauses elucidating their meaning, citing points of discussion from various sources and illustrating their application with modifications and case studies.
The new second edition of the “Shang Han Lun Explained” (Volumes 1 & 2) has been revised to include recent information, including completely revised chapters for Tai Yang, Yang Ming, Shao Yang and Jue Yin. As well as expansions on the Tai Yin and Shao Yin channels.
Other additions to the appendices include the Six Channels Identification and pulse diagnosis, the concept of “Lifting the Lid” of the teapot” and its significance in the management of many urinary diseases.
In addition, several tables have been added that give “at a glance”, quick information about the comparison of various patterns and associated formulas. These will clarify the key symptoms for each pattern and allow the clinician to quickly determine an appropriate formula for immediate use.
