One day I shall upgrade to a current edition, which I hope will come with a link to some kind of constantly updated website which notes recent clinical research into Chinese herbal medicines. But for now, the richness and usefulness of our empirical use of these medicines is sufficient, and well-covered in this big book. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
