New paradigms for Shang Han Lun Integrating Korean Sasang Constitutional Medicine and Japanese Kampo Medicine Here are two outstanding clinical methodologies for the prescription of traditional Asian herbal medicine that have been practiced in China, Korea, and Japan but not fully adopted in traditional Asian medical education in the US. These two can be indicators in prescribing formulas based on Shang Han Lun, one from the individual constitutional perspective of Dr. Lee Jema and the other from the single herbal functional perspective of Dr. Todo Yoshimas. The author believes these are crucial clues to putting together all the pieces of the vast information in Asian herbal formula practice, yet need to be further studied and proved in clinical settings. Her clinical case studies are also added after the introduction of Dr. Lee and Dr. Todos studies. These clinical cases will provide herbal practitioners with stepping stones on the journey to mastering Asian Medicine. This book provides; - How to identify four different body types based on Korean Sasang Constitutional Medicine - The keys to use the right formula for the right person - An introduction to the unique theories and formulas of Sasang Constitutional Medicine - An introduction to Yakucho, which is the list of the indications and pharmacologic effects for various herbs that were used in Shang Han Lun and Jin Gui Yao Lue - Clinical case studies that show how to use Sasang Constitutional formulas and Shang Han Lun formulas based on SCM theories and Yakucho - Kang Ping Shang Han Lun, which is the closest edition to the original, translated delivering the meaning more accurately by distinguishing big letters from small letters as in the original text

By examining all the prevalent varieties of therapy from self-care to religious ritual, this book explores health care practices in China, before modern times. In ancient China most people were unable to afford a doctor, even in the unlikely case that one lived near their village and was willing to treat peasants. What did they do when their children got sick? The answer is to be found in this book, which goes far beyond the history of medicine. The author uses methods of medical anthropology to explain the curative roles of popular religion, Daoism, Buddhism and the therapeutic rites performed by imperial officials. Readers will discover the steady interaction of religious healing and classical medicine in this culture. This highly readable book builds on over forty years of study and analysis of early liturgical and medical writings and a wide variety of other sources. Its focus on the eleventh century throws new light on a period of rapid transition in many aspects of therapy and it will appeal to scholars and general readers alike.
