It is highly practical in nature, written by someone with extensive experience in the martial arts and particularly in Iron Palm. It also excels in the area of preventing cumulative injuries due to conditioning in striking arts. The Materia Medica for Martial Artists is an important addition to the literature on Chinese medicine and is of material value to anyone needing to treat injuries arising from the practice of the martial arts, or other physical stressful conditions, including bruises, back injuries, and bleeding, as well as more serious injuries. The external therapies discussed in the Materia Medica for Martial Artists are particularly useful in dit da. The internal and external therapies of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), are equally important and essential. Its intent is to demystify Chinese herbal medicine and to provide martial artists with a sound working knowledge of herbs. Materia Medica for Martial Artists is a practical guide for the application of herbs in dit da, the field of Chinese herbalism that deals with the healing and management of injury. Herbal medicine is very potent in treating a wide variety of medical disorders and this modality offers tremendous advantages to those who employ it. July 12, Josh Walker Owner, PlumDragon Herbs VIĨ Foreword In traditional medicine as practiced in China, about 80% of all traditional Chinese medical patients are treated with herbs, while the remaining 20% are treated with acupuncture, Tui-na or Qi Gong.

This book benefits, either directly or indirectly, from the ideas, help, knowledge, and support of these people, and others, who help make the effort of producing a text like this bearable. Authors of past Materia Medicas (Especially Chen & Chen, who I have yet to meet or talk with) for providing a fantastic springboard for the creation of this book. My wife, Denise, who has always found a way to be supportive of me, despite the intense reality of my obsessive personality especially as I finish this book and enter my next business endeavour, which will certainly test her patience again in putting up with me. If you are in the Chinese medical field, I highly recommend purchasing from nuherbs. nuherbs is a wonderful group that has offered me great flexibility in producing articles for their newsletter for years now. Thanks Bob! Wilson Lau and the rest of the nuherbs staff for helping work out details on organizing and carrying this book in their inventory of texts for the Chinese medical field.
