More on Chinese Herbology

"During the Ming Dynasty, a world famous Compendium of Materia Medica was compiled by Li Shizhen (1518-1593). From childhood he had always followed his father, collecting herbs and copying presciptions, and he became aware of the real need for an accurate and comprehensive manual. His Materia Medica was completed in 1578 after 27 years of research: It is a thoroughly practical and scientific manual, listing 1800 recipes or compounds. This process of updating and revising information has continued to the present day."
