This books is, in my opinion, the next stage in learning materia medica, after you have memorised the groups and names, and thus bridges the gap between learning herbs and putting together formulae.Plus, as far as I know, this is the only book of it's kind on the market
Although this book is well written and useful for learning some of the many two-herb combinations of Chinese medicinals that a practitioner would need for his or her practice (and required for certification exams) the book has several could be improved. Most importantly, each combination should list the formulas in which it is found, or at least the major ones, so that the learning is properly linked to the main instrument of Chinese medicinals which is the formula. Also, while there is a table of contents, the index does NOT list herbs. Instead, it only lists conditions and other topics, so if you need to find combinations for a particular herb, you can either thumb through the entire book or you have to scan the entire table of contents. On the other hand there is a good introduction. A learning text needs a proper index.
The book designed as more a taster .. For those that already know the herbs. It's difficult to navigate the book, as the style it is written requires deep knowledge (knowing the herb you want to pair) or no knowledge and therefore it's more like a dictionary (in that there is no grouping of concepts, but instead a general compilation of information presented).If the book was organized/ structured according to prescription goal (what the combo is treating) or diagnosis, THAT would make the book more readily useful. Otherwise it's blindly opening the book to see what 2 herb combos are available.
For the student in Chinese Herbs, an easy to understand book on combining herbs, along with a do's and don'ts ...really is a reference book that should be on every herbalist's Book shelf!
If you are using herbal formulas, you need a book on dui yao. It could be in more detail, but for the general schools of TCM it is decent.
Excellent addition for those practitioners focussed on prescribing herbal formulas.
What can I say? Must have.Very usefull book.
Limited practicality. Lots of copy work with no recommendation to beginner to expert. This kind of primer is so sorely needed but should be written by a practicioner with 1st hand knowledge.
