Peter HolmesThe Energetics of Western Herbs: A Materia Medica Integrating Western and Chinese Therapeutics - Fourth Edition Now in One Volume

This is a huge resource, with herbs described in terms of both their 'Western' herbal and 'Chinese' properties.I frequently use it, and learn lots too. Holmes describes the herbs' tropism, and the acupuncture channels they nourish. He's also clear about cautions and red flags.I also use it to make tinctures and decoctions.

there is no other reference for this material, an exceptional work.highly recommended for the TCM trained herbalist who lives and treats clients in the West using Western Herbs.
