Reviews:
All I have are compliments….the prose is wonderful – clear, precise. The point-of-view is admirable, informed and balanced.

I found the book to be very interesting and thorough in its discussion of Kampo medicine for the treatment of menopause-related conditions. I would recommend the book to complementary physicians who are interested in Oriental medicine as well as interested laypeople.

It is refreshing…to see such an accomplished analysis of Kampo. The authors take great pains to explain their subject in terms that are comprehensible to Western medical practitioners. This is a great book for anyone interested in exploring the rich tradition of Japanese herbal medicine, especially for those Western medical doctors who wish to expand their therapeutic techniques.

[Dr. Shibata] was without a doubt one of the great masters of modern times. The theoretical structure of kampo does not yield easily to didactic instruction, and Jean Wu has done a superb job of making it clear to the practitioner or student of Oriental medicine. Hopefully, future work in the explication of kampo will adhere to similar standards of precision and clarity.
