Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
This book is translated from a manuscript copied by a student of the Abbot of Shaolin Monastery. Part of the monastic lineage of 'fall & strike' medicine, this book presents hundreds of treatments for a wide variety of external or martial arts injuries as well as preventive training formulas. Back by popular demand, this is the second edition of this title which now includes a full symptom index, easier to use formula descriptions, and Pinyin as well as Latin herbal descriptions.

There are companies out there who sell formulas made from this book at very high prices. Don't be a fool, cut out the middle man, buy this book and make your own stuff.

For those interested in TCM, and the Shaolin application of such, this is a real treasure.

This is a reference book and not really a text or descriptive reading. It is mainly a list, with terse but very useful commentary, of recipes for making helpful remedies. The ingredients are not all easily available in most North American towns. Many ingredients will not be easy to get, even at a proper Chinese herbal store. Still, the documentation is sufficiently useful that any resourceful person will be able to produce the described medicines. By making this available to a general audience, the author has given humanity a very great gift. I just hope we will use it properly. It can be a great help for an extremely broad range of medical needs.

This book lists many formulas to concote pills, poltice and medicinal wine to treat injuries arising from "falls and strikes" typically from martial art training. Some of the formulas however, are also useful to prepare and kept for use in household emergencies. A word of caution though, always see a doctor for serious injuries such as dislocations or broken bones. This is not a self treat book. For a non martial artist, I find that the formulas are especially useful in treating bruises and sprains.
Although the names of the herbs are given in Latin and Pinyin descriptions, it may be difficult to have the formulas filled by your regular chinese herbalist as most of them are literate only in chinese characters.
For the serious reader, it may be a good idea to invest in a good materia medica as a companion book to this one.
