The integration of Western Medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) opens up a new theraphy system which is effective and efficient. This integration has been implemented in China for fifty years with a satisfying result.

In the last 10 years, more and more doctors in Germany have accepted and appreciated TCM due to its merit in the treatment of chronic disease. Several medical faculties in Germany have included TCM as complementary subject. Even some TCM clinics have been opened.

This book discusses kinds of diseases or syndromes which are often found in medical practices. Cases exposed in this book are based on the experience of the writer during his work as doctor in Germany.

Recipes suggested in this book are traditional Chinese ones which have been used since hundreds or thousands of years ago.

This book is accompanied by two other books, i.e. Basic Theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Materia Medica and Recipes of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The explanation is simple and easy to be understood. The three books are very good as guides to study TCM.
