Divine Farmer's Classic of Materia Medica (3rd Edition)

This book is a literal translation of one of the earliest and most important classics of Chinese medicine and natural science: the Shén Nóng Běncǎo Jīng 神農本草經 or “Divine Farmer’s Classic of Materia Medica.” Compiled in the third century CE but undoubtedly much older in content, it contains information on 365 substances that were considered to have beneficial effects on the human body.
