Photo Identification Guide
The Visual Materia Medica of Chinese Herbs is a concise, organized, and beautiful photo identification guide for over 350 common Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbs.
Used by students, teachers, and doctors in universities and clinics around the world, it is the de facto standard on Chinese herb photo identification. Students use it to replace long hours in the herb room or having to carry herb samples. Doctors and practitioners can quickly cross-reference Latin, English, and Pinyin names, and glance at the Chinese characters, properties, temperatures, and channels.
