Classical Chinese Herbalism: Lineage-Based Formulas and Their Clinical Applications

Chinese culture is deeply rooted in lineages and traditions that shape the transmission of knowledge, practice, and cultivation. Coming from a Daoist background and a transmission that includes the Imperial Medical Academy, Jeffrey Yuen offers insights drawn from a long lineage of intellectuals and experienced clinicians.
