Licorice has long been recognized for the natural sweetness of its deepsinking roots. It is known widely as a candy flavoring, but its value goes far beyond that. The dietary use of licorice goes back several thousand years. Next to ginseng, licorice is the most popular herb in Chinese formulas.HOW IT WORKS Traditional herbalists use licorice root as a general tonic and for respiratory support. It also supports the liver. Most Chinese herb combinations use licorice to balance the other herbs and to promote vitality. It has a reputation for helping the entire body maintain balance (particularly helpful to women who menstruate) and for promoting well-being.

The Treatise on the Spleen and Stomach: A Translation of the Pi Wei Lun (Paperback)

Book Description
This is a translation and annotation of Li Dong-yuan's Pi Wei Lun; by Bob Flaws. With so much new research in China on the ideas and formulas of Li Dong-yuan, we feel this book is one of the most important pre-modern texts in Chinese medicine for 21st century clinicians. Bob has undertaken the task of a fresh translation of this book, this time including detailed commentary, relevant case histories and random clinical trail reports for each chapter.

Notes by the master of supplementing-earth, May 8, 2001

Reviewer:porthos - See all my reviews
The Pi Wei Lun, or Spleen-Stomach Treatise, is the magnum opus of Li Gao, styled Li Dong-yuan, one of the four great masters of Chinese medicine during the Jin and Yuan dynasties. Li was the founder of the bu tu pai, or supplementing-earth school of medical thought, which continues to exert a profound influence on modern Chinese herbal medicine; many standard herbal prescriptions used in teaching and in practice were first recorded or devised by Li Gao. In the Pi Wei Lun, Li outlines both the classical and practical foundations of this school.

One of the most fascinating portions of the Pi Wei Lun is Li's commentaries on earlier classic works, including the Nei Jing, Nan Jing, and the works of Zhang Ji (Zhang Zhong-jing). Indeed, by revealing his thoughts on these sources, he makes it clear that the importance of spleen-stomach theory had been realized well in advance of the Jin and Yuan. It was, however, the Chinese medical "renaissance" of that period that recapitulated so much of what had earlier been said on the subject and advanced it as an integrated basis for the practice of internal medicine.

Li's writing is not straightforward or systematic. Rather, the Pi Wei Lun is a collection of notes and essays on spleen-stomach theory. Although many example prescriptions are listed, relatively little is offered by way of explanation. As in many historical works on the subject of Chinese medicine, it is assumed that the reader is both astute and very learned. The translators thoughtfully included many footnotes and glosses for the benefit of modern readers, but even these assume a level of proficiency at least commensurate with professional practice. It is a book to be lived with, as opposed to merely read. Nevertheless, for its information on composing prescriptions, the variations of treatment through the seasons, comments on classical references to spleen-stomach issues, food damage, "yin fire," and clinical applications, the Pi Wei Lun is essential reading.

Chinese Herbal Medicine: Materia Medica, Third Edition (Hardcover)

Book Description
The new 3rd edition of Chinese Herbal Medicine: Materia Medica is designed to give practitioners the information they need to practice Chinese herbal medicine with greater understanding and confidence. It provides a wealth of new information -– more than twice the content of the previous edition -- and practical insight into more than 530 of the most commonly used herbs in the Chinese pharmacopoeia.

Drawing from a wide range of sources, both classical and modern, this edition provides unparalleled perspective and detail that goes far beyond what is available elsewhere to the Western practitioner.

Herbs are grouped in chapters by function, with expanded summaries and tables for contrast and comparison. Each herb is identified by its pharmaceutical, pinyin, botanical, and family names, as well as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and English common names.

Key characteristics are provided at the beginning of each entry, along with dosage, properties, channels entered, and relevant cautions and contraindications. This provides a quick overview of essential information.

Actions and indications are integrated with important combinations that illustrate the range of an herb’s functions, with references to appropriate formulas. This presents a more three-dimensional picture of how each herb is actually used.

Expanded commentary offers in-depth analysis and places each herb in its clinical context through rich historical references. The mechanisms of action underlying important combinations, and comparisons with similar herbs, provide a broader context for understanding how the herb can be used with optimal effect.

A section devoted to nomenclature and preparation describes the most important methods of processing and preparing each herb, and the advantages of each method. It also provides information about other commonly-used names and historical background.

Safety is an important focus of this edition, with an emphasis on proper herb identification. Issues concerning standardized products, desirable qualities, variants, and adulterants are explained for each herb. There is also extensive information on toxicity, as well as chemical constituents.

The utility of this book is enhanced by its wide range of appendices, among which are color photographs comparing the standard and adulterant forms of over 20 common herbs; tables of herbs that are indicated for specific pathologies of the five yin organs; and extensive cross references of the herbs by taxonomy, pinyin, pharmaceutical name, and other East Asian languages. There are also comprehensive indices of both herbs and formulas, as well as a general index.
