The book is a comprehensive practical guide to creating individual herbal blends, based on the authors' more than twenty years of herbalist practice.

The authors aim to support Czech herbalists in their efforts for detailed diagnostics based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), while also making the use of our native medicinal plants accessible to TCM practitioners. Therefore, the book is an indispensable assistant for all TCM practitioners who wish to incorporate herbs growing in our countries into their practice, as well as for other aspiring herbalists who want to create herbal recipes based on precise clinical diagnostics. Here, everyone will find specific instructions for creating individual blends composed of available herbs for specific ailments, with detailed explanations of model clinical situations. This book demonstrates that it is possible to connect the Eastern wisdom of ancient Chinese medicine with the wealth of European medicinal plants.
