Abstract
Theory, treatment strategy, formulas and herbs together form the fundamentals of traditional Chinese herbal medicine. The physician must diagnose the patient's illness, devise a strategy for treating it and select the herbs to apply. The herbs selected must be compatible with one another and must fully address the root and appearance of the patient's illness.
