Imperial Medicaments

Chinese emperors and empresses of feudal dynasties benefited from the best medical care. Herbal prescriptions formulated for them represent the highest level of TCM, particularly in the late Qing Dynasty. Prescriptions for them were called the secret remedies of the imperial palace. Approaching from the philosophy of modem medicine and TCM, the author, professor Chen Keji, winner of the Albert Einstein World Award of Science, and his study group made painstaking efforts in sorting out these ancient medical files. With reliable sources of literature, the book is of high academic value and practicability.
