You can read "Fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine" (specialized edition) first, and then combine it with "Compendium of Materia Medica". General ailments are basically no problem, and health care is sure to win. If you are crazy about keeping in good health, you can also look at Huangdi Neijing (translated in vernacular), which will make you more diligent. Look at the deeper version slowly later. The foundation of Chinese medicine is very important. (gout, please pay attention to plateau Yi medicine)
