For 3000 years, medicine based on herbs and plants has been produced in China. It is the oldest healing method there, even older than acupuncture. TCM practitioners today work with detailed knowledge of about 45,000 herbs and plants. When applied professionally, these can permanently rectify physical dysfunctions. Over the long tradition, various manufacturing and processing methods have also been established. Which method is suitable depends on the nature of the raw materials, their combination, the dosage, and ultimately the patient. The application of Chinese herbal medicine is almost directly transferable from humans to animals. However, practical differences in effects and areas of application do exist. This compendium provides TCVM therapists for the first time with a reference work for the most important ready-made formulas. For each recipe, you will receive information on effects, animal indications, and contraindications—clearly and understandably. The compendium includes a large number of practical ready-made formulas, including package information, the classification of individual formula classes, as well as the preparation and dosage of medicinal herbs for animals.
