跟風吃補、濫服藥物,中醫藥養身保健之外的另一面!

美術、文學、宗教,中醫藥的延伸面向大解析

本書以「外史」為名,從外部環境(社會、文化、人文思想等)探討中醫藥學發展的原因。作者開宗明義即強調中藥的強烈社會性,除了是醫家治病的武器,在民間社會更有道家用於長生、江湖術士用來變把戲等各種用途。中醫「藥林」汲取多方的用藥知識,又與社會文化互相滲透,從來就不是醫藥的獨家領域!

書中簡要清晰地介紹了有關本草文獻、學風演變、中藥炮製等主題,有助於讀者瞭解中藥的歷史全貌;而濫服藥物、追風用藥的始末與原因分析則發人深省;另外還有藥效發現、本草與文學和美術的關係、歷代不同的藥王,以及古代蒙汗藥等,期望從不同面向建構出更貼近大眾生活角度的中醫藥發展史。
