Drawing upon his extensive twelve-year tenure in China, which included a critical four-year clinical research period at the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Goicovic bridges the historical with the contemporary, providing an indispensable resource for practitioners and academics alike.
