Chinese Pharmacology I

The use of Chinese medicinal substances has been extensively documented for over 3000 years. What has been lacking until now is a reworking of traditional knowledge from a modern pharmacological perspective. This book fills that gap for the first time. The most comprehensive pharmacopoeia of Chinese medicine marks a successful bridge between traditional Chinese herbal therapy and modern pharmacological and toxicological insights. More than 50 authors and reviewers have pioneered this effort, creating a scientifically validated, easily readable, and clearly structured compendium on the medical use of over 500 medicinal substances. This standard reference work offers: - A contemporary documentation of the traditional use of Chinese medicinal substances - Clear guidelines for clinical indications and dosage.
