Combining Western
Herbs and Chinese Medicine: A Clinical Materia Medica: 120 Herbs in Western Use
was written by Jeremy Ross and was published in 2010 by Greenfields Press.
456 pages; hardcover. $149.00.
 For the past 15 years, author Jeremy Ross has specialized in
the topic of combining principles of Western herbalism and phytopharmacology
with Chinese medicine. Based on decades of experience in acupuncture,
herbalism, plant pharmacology, and Chinese medicine, Ross presents a guide that
effectively combines details from these various traditions. According to Ross,
examining each herb from multiple perspectives allows clinicians to gain a
better understanding of the uses of the plant. Sections include a physical
description of the species, Chinese and Western uses, common herb pairings and
cautions as well as information on constituents, pharmacology, and dosage. This
book is intended for acupuncturists, Chinese medicine practitioners, and
naturopaths or herbalists with basic training in Chinese medical theory.
Upcoming titles planned for the Combining
Chinese Herbs and Western Medicine series include Treating Exhaustion, Treating
Stress and Emotional Disorders, and Treating
Depression.
