Chinese scholars have been writing medical treatises for nearly 5,000 years, the grandest and most comprehensive of which is the Herbal Pen T'sao, published by Li Shih-chen in 1578. Two Western doctors assembled this updated edition of the massive sixteenth-century document, annotating their translation with their own observations. A treasury of tried-and-true wisdom from centuries of practical experience, it has served as a basis for modern-day organic medicine and has enormous value for practitioners of alternative healing methods.
