The Pharmacology of Chinese Herbs
(The Pharmacology of Chinese Herbs brings together ancient...)
The Pharmacology of Chinese Herbs brings together ancient Chinese herbal lore and Western scientific methods in an up-to-date, comprehensive volume. This marriage of ideas can be useful in applying emerging gene-modification technology and medicinal chemical techniques to modify the structures of purified herbal ingredients into better agents with higher efficacy and activity. Following a brief history of Chinese herbal medicine, a total of 473 herbs are categorized into 39 chapters, with each herb described in terms of its chemical composition, pharmacological actions, toxicity, and therapeutic uses. At the beginning of each chapter, a short paragraph covers the criteria by which traditional Chinese medicine judged the effectiveness of the herb. Scientific and experimental data as recent as 1991 is used to describe the pharmacological actions of each herb. This data is then compared to information from Chinese pharmacopeia and folk medicine. The Pharmacology of Chinese Herbs will be an exciting reference for pharmacologists, pharmaceutical researchers, medicinal chemists, toxicologists, and scientists interested in the medicinal effects of Chinese herbs.

The Pharmacology of Chinese Herbs, Second Edition
(Records cataloging the healing powers of natural substanc...)
Records cataloging the healing powers of natural substances - plants, minerals, and animal byproducts - date back more than 4,000 years. There is no denying the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine, yet - until recently - the roots of this knowledge were largely lost in superstition and folklore. However, the use of herbs as an alternative medical treatment for many illnesses has increased steadily over the last decade, particularly since such herbs are categorized as "Natural Food Products" and are not yet subject to strict control by the FDA. Reports published in 1996 indicate that more than 10% of the US population has used herbal remedies. This book does not debate the value of Eastern or Western medicine but brings together Chinese herbal lore and Western scientific methods in a current, comprehensive treatise on the pharmacology of Chinese herbs. This second edition of The Pharmacology of Chinese Herbs presents the chemical composition, pharmacological action, toxicity, and therapeutic value of 473 herbs. The book: • Classifies herbs according to their therapeutic value • Informs how active ingredients in herbs may adversely interact with other herbs or drugs • Evaluates which herbs have the potential for more investigation and possible use as drugs • Describes the pharmacological action of each herb based on recent scientific study and describes each herb according to Chinese pharmacopoeia and folk medicine • Provides a review of Chinese medical history • Presents information on how to use modern chemical techniques for enhancing or modifying herbal ingredients into better agents with more strength and activity What's New in the Second Edition Discussions on: • Herbs and their specific effects on the immune system • Herbs and fertility/infertility • Anti-cancer herbs • Anti-HIV herbs • Anti-malarial herbs • Ginseng and ginsenosides • Anti-Alzheimer herbs • Herbs affecting the nervous system
