Depends how deep you want to get..... The big references are always good to have:

 

Materia medica - Bensky

Chinese medical herbology - Chen

 

And then just about anything written by Bob Flaws. I'd look through his offerings either at amazon or blue poppy and see if any of the titles interest you.

I will second about Bob Flaws. The first book of his I read was Chinese medicinal wines and elixirs. I also like Thomas Joiner, Michael Tierra.

IF anyone has James Ramholz Shaolin and Taoist formulas book available, let me know.
