This book examines the use of herbal medicine in the treatment of intractable diseases as well
as common health problems. Given the stringent quality control of herbal medicine such as Kampo
and reproducibility of preclinical findings together with overall fewer adverse events its
attractiveness continues to rise and multi-component herbal medicine capable of targeting
multiple sites can be useful for future drug discovery. Written for the Methods in Pharmacology
and Toxicology series this collection features practical advice for hands-on work in this
exciting and expansive field. Authoritative and easily applicable Herbal Medicines: New
Horizons summarizes the current state and translational aspect of herbal medicine in modern
society in order to help establish a rational therapy for patients.
