chinese qualities of western pharmaceuticals

[Guest guest]

Is there anything in print describing the effects of specific western

pharmaceuticals in terms of Chinese theory? I'm looking for a reference

where I can look up, for example, Prozac and it would say: warm, goes to

the liver . . . resolves the exterior, upbears qi . . . . I understand

it may take many more years for us to come to consensus on what exactly

the qualities are but has anyone begun this process in earnest? Zev?

 

Thanks,

Marian

Marian try

Stephen Gascoine's book

In New Zealand we must teach a subject on this exact topic and his book is the

reference.

If you email me at home I can pass on his details which I have there
