The book explores the intersection of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western herbal practices, highlighting the rich historical knowledge of classical TCM formulae. It presents 50 significant TCM formulae, adapted with Western herbs like rosemary, thyme, and burdock root, demonstrating their potential effectiveness for Western therapists. By integrating familiar household herbs such as cardamom and fennel, the author showcases the versatility of this holistic treatment approach, aiming to expand the application of herbal medicine across different traditions.

Traditional Chinese Medicine and thus also Chinese phytoptherapy is becoming more and more popular. Therefore, so-called Western herbs, which are available to us in the West, are described and therapeutically applied according to TCM criteria. This book describes about 150 herbs with their english names, pharmaceutical, botanical and german names. In addition a description of the parts of the plants used, their taste, temperature effect, the organs involved and doses are provided as well as detailed descriptions of the actions and individual fields of application of individual herbs.
