Editorial Reviews

Review

"...an important and informative book that gives the history of medicinal wines in China. Few English-language books are written on this subject and this one provides good guidelines on proper usage of wines with Chinese medicinal herbs. The recipes in this book are beneficial not only to medical professionals, but also to the lay public. Xiao Ming Tian, MD

5.0 out of 5 stars from the Medical Herbalism journal, September 2, 2000
This review is from: Chinese Medicinal Wines & Elixirs (Paperback)
Should we use the alcohol tincture form of Chinese herbs? Bob Flaws, a leading educator in traditional Chinese herbalism has reviewed the use of alcohol preparations of Chinese herbs from classic texts as well as modern medical usage. Recipes and dosages given in detail. Readers will need a basic knowledge of the terminology and concepts of Chinese medicine. To answer the question at the top, alcoholic preparations of Chinese herbs are usually taken in much greater volume than tinctures are in Western herbalism, and only when the medicinal effects of the alcohol -- warming and stimulating -- are also sought.
