Furthermore, mnemonics and simple and effective formulas are included to help readers effectively grasp the concepts behind practical applications, and precautions and daily practices are specifically designed to support readers in easily understanding and retaining the information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFirst Week\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSecond Week:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Release Exterior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcrid-Cool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThird Week:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Clear Heat\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFourth Week:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePurgatives\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFifth Week:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicinals That Dispel Wind-Damp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAromatic Medicinals that Remove Dampness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSixth Week:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Relieve Water Retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Warm the Interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeventh Week:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Regulate Qi\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEighth Week:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Relieve Food Stagnation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Expel Worms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Stanch Bleeding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNinth Week:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Invigorate Blood\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTenth Week:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Dissolve Phlegm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Arrest Cough and Wheezing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEleventh Week:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Calm the Spirit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Calm the Liver and Extinguish Wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTwelfth Week:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Open Orifices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Supplement Qi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Nourish Blood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThirteenth Week:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Enrich Yin\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFourteenth Week:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicinals that Tonify Yang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAstringent Medicinals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Medical professionals, both Western medical doctors and TCM practitioners, particularly those practicing in Australia, Europe and America; Chinese medicine educators, clinical and basic Chinese medicine researchers and health science students (particularly Chinese medicine students); herbalists, gerontology researchers, nutritionists, public health specialists (health policy departments in ministries of health and universities); professionals at the World Health Organization and affiliated institutions, and pharmaceutical companies; librarians of TCM professional associations and teaching institutes and the lay reader who either wants general knowledge or wishes to understand how TCM can help a friend, relative or loved one.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Century Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169152450800,"sku":"9781938134180","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781938134180_p0.jpg?v=1763663247","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781938134180","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
