About this title

About the Author

Shi Cun Wu began his formal education in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Jilin Medical University in Jilin, China, where he graduated in the 1950s. His understanding of TCM began much earlier than this, however, under the tutelage of his father, who was himself a TCM physician. After graduation, Shi Cun Wu engaged in 20 years of TCM clinical practice and research in Chinese hospitals and herbal research bureaus. He authored articles on herbal research for the Journal of Chinese Herbal Medicine and presented his findings at academic conferences. He participated in the project to compile the 1977 edition of the People's Republic of China Pharmacopoeia, helping to define quality standards for the sections on Traditional Herbal Medicine and Herbal-Based Patent Medicine. In addition, he helped write the Guangdong Provincial Traditional Herbal Medicine Preparation Handbook as well as the Traditional Herbal Medicine section of the 1978 edition of the Guangdong Provincial Medicine Standards Manual. After this work, Shi Cun Wu emigrated to the United States, where he has operated an herbal store and taught classes on all aspects of TCM for two decades. He is an NCCA Diplomate in Herbology and Acupuncture.
