-- From the foreword by Tiffany Carole Pollard MS, L.Ac, LMP, Synergy Wellness Center Peter shares with us his great gift for using the terms and principles of Chinese medicine to explore herbal medicines from beyond the classical Chinese materia medica with easily understandable and clinically useful clarity.
