Authors such as Michael Tierra and Peter Holmes immediately spring to mind as obvious antecedents. This book however raises this nascent subject to a previously unobtained level of academic excellence. For instance, at the end of most chapters there are over 40 references up to 90 for some to support the topics discussed. The references are exhaustive, and the information contained throughout the book represents the most up-to-date sources available at the time of going to print.

Ross has expanded traditional syndromes with clinical observations from his experience.

Heart qi irregularity, uterus stagnant qi , and kidney stagnant qi amongst others are introduced as non-traditional categories. After the obligatory foreword and explanation of terminology, the main body of the book is divided into two sections: Part 1 Herbal medicine in theory and practice and Part 2 Materia Medica. Finally we have a section comprising Additional herbs.

I would not imagine breezily advising an interested lay person to invest in this excellent scholarly work. From the first chapter on History the book compares and contrasts the western tradition with TCM with Phytotherapy. The chapters on Temperature and Taste neatly compares the oriental and occidental traditions and offers a framework for curious practitioners to begin to arrive at their own unique, personal understandings.

If herbs having specific, fixed temperatures has become a limiting factor in prescribing, this concept creates a flow of expansion, opening up a multitude of possibilities. Actions and Action glossary provides again a useful area for contrast.

The following chapter on Actions glossary explains that anti-tussives generally come from TCM categories like herbs that transform phlegm and stop cough, but also tonify yin fluids and clear heat, or herbs that calm the heart spirit. The different ways of delivering herbs is looked at, water based extraction, ethanol tinctures, Glycerol, etc and the question of a therapeutic or not dose raised.
