Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Hi there, These books are widely recommended. I have Diagnostics and Materia Medica. Their weakness is most definitely the poor translation into English. I find the material medica simple to work from particularly if you are also referring to the mandarin, however our Materia medica teacher seems to think that there is not enough detail about each herb and says that these are books based on old texts used in China and need updating. Hope that's useful Regards Margella rizwankherati [rizwankherati] 31 March 2004 08:35 Chinese Medicine Opinion wanted on books Has anyone here used these books Produced by Academy (Xue Yuan) Press.
