Diseases & Formulas
The following list of Diseases lists primary Formulas used for each Disease. There is a focus on Formulas classically used. A more thorough listing of formulas used for specific conditions can be viewed by using the Search Box on the home page.
On the Left of each page are primary medicines used for the condition from the Western Tradition. In most cases it includes medicines used by Mesue and Nicholas. These two Physicians were accounted as highly reputable and their word was considered highly worthy, so much so that Mesue was referred to as ‘The Physicians Evangelist’. A primary source is a table of diseases with remedies from Opera de Medica, Johannis Mesuae Damasceni, 1589. Traditional Western and Unani formula are listed together as these are effectively one system.
The Right side of the page includes Differential Diagnosis from Chinese Medicine, along with some of the key formulas of that Tradition. TCM has an advanced concept of differential diagnosis and by listing this it can help in differential diagnosis and formula selection from the Western Tradition. The idea is that the differential diagnosis applied in modern TCM can help distinguish the use of certain traditional western formula, thus ‘piggy-backing’ on the enormous inroads TCM has made over the past decades in making Traditional Medicine applicable to modern times.
Medicines from other systems such as Tibetan Medicine and Ayurveda are placed where relevant within the pages.
