Selection of Empirical Formulas by Dr. Carl S. Leung
This landmark volume presents a lifetime of clinical wisdom from Dr. Carl S. Leung, a pioneering figure in Traditional Chinese Medicine and founder of Kamwo Herbal Pharmacy, the oldest and largest Chinese herbal dispensary in the United States.
Based on over fifty years of clinical experience treating a wide range of patients in New York City's Chinatown, Dr. Leung's book offers more than 100 carefully selected empirical formulas. Each formula is accompanied by clear explanations of its therapeutic intent, detailed ingredient functions, and practical insights into diagnosis and modification.
This work serves as both a clinical reference and a reflection on decades of hands-on healing. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a student of Chinese medicine, Selection of Empirical Formulas is a valuable resource for understanding not only what works but why it works.
