How to prepare herbal decoctions or tea, and when to take the herbal decoction may have significant influence on the ultimate treatment results. Each herb has its own features. These features illustrate how herbs act on the human body, and their therapeutic effects. It is critical to understand these features of herbs before using them. This issue emphasizes on the preparation of herbs, different formats of using herbs, and energies and tastes of herbs. More than ten different ways of using herbs are described. Interactions among herbs, and among herbs and foods, as well as precautions and contraindications in using herbs are also discussed.
Table of Contents
1. How to Use Herbs in Different Ways
2. How to Make Herbal Tea and Decoctions for the Best Effects
3. Different Energies of Herbs in Chinese Medicine: Cold and Hot Herbs
4. Spicy, Sweet, Sour, Bitter, and Salty: Five Tastes of Chinese Herbs
5. Interactions, Precautions, and Contraindications in Using Chinese Herbs
Excerpts from "How to Use Herbs in Chinese Medicine: The Basics and Practical Guides":
“In Chinese medicine, herbal wine has been popular for thousands of years. Herbal wine can be made through soaking herbs in wine for some time to get certain effects. The wine can usually improve the effect of the herbs, such as for arthritis. It can be taken orally, or used externally….”
“Add water to the pot to submerge all the herbs. Soak the herbs for about 30 minutes before placing the pot on a fire.
Usually the properties of the herbs decide the amount of water to be added and the cooking time….”
“Incorrect applications of herbs on patients may cause severe problems and strong toxic effects. For example, using herbs of the hot nature on a patient with hot syndromes will only cause the disease even worse. Herbs are safe and effective only when they are used correctly with appropriate properties applied to the corresponding ailments….”
“Herbs with different tastes or flavors have different pharmacological and therapeutic effects. Here the “tastes” do not refer to their real tastes in the mouth, but indicate the actions they have on the human body….”
“Ancient Chinese medicine classics recorded many herb-herb interactions, precautions, and contraindications in the application of herbs. These include the eighteen incompatible medicinal herbs, and the nineteen mutual-restraining medicinal herbs….”

Learn how to nourish your body and relax your mind with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Guided by ancient philosophies of dialectic materialism, which examine the interconnection of everything in the universe, TCM takes a holistic approach to managing emotions, improving quality of life, and preventing illness through use of herbs, natural foods, and acupressure. In each chapter you'll find a case story describing a particular problem, followed by a simple analysis, and concluding with advice on treatment using natural remedies. With its straightforward approach, the book is practical and easy to follow, even for TCM novices, as they learn about key concepts such as yin and yang and the Five Elements. Emotional changes are normal for everyone, and this book provides a lifeline for readers as they deal with the instability caused by the hectic modern world. Take this important first step, and learn about how the ancient and proven science of TCM can help you treat and prevent emotion imbalances, bringing more enjoyment to your life!
Diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is the process of examining the body to diagnose disease and differentiate patterns under the guidance of the fundamental theories of TCM. It is a bridge that connects the basics of TCM with all branches of clinical medicine and includes inspecting the symptoms or manifestations, analyzing the changes, understanding the pathomechanisms, and predicting the transformation of diseases. TCM diagnosis consists of two major areas of study, examination and testing (zhên) and decision and judgment (duà n). Examination and testing techniques are used to collect information from the patient. Decision and judgment uses this information, which is sorted, analyzed, synthe¬sized, and reasoned on the basis of TCM theory. This book is organized around the four pillars of TCM diagnosis: inspection, inquiry, listening and smelling, and palpation. In this text, each aspect is explained in a clear and systematic manner, with generous use of tables and illustrations. This is followed by a series of review questions for deeper understanding. A comprehensive self-examination consisting of 200 multiple choice questions, with a separate key to the answers, tests the reader s understanding of the important points of each aspect of diagnosis. These questions, many of which are presented in case study format, will help students prepare for the board exams.
