This work presents up-to-date information on chemical,
pharmacological, clinical studies and historical uses of common
dietary Chinese herbs. Authored by native experts in the
field, the reader is introduced to
each herb with a brief chronological review of
Chinese literature on dietary herb uses, with chapters dedicated
to each selected herb including color photos for
each herb. In addition, Chinese characters as well as
the Latin botanical name indices, and chemical structures
for the known active compounds are also provided. The
clear layout examines the health benefits that have been studied
for centuries, including current clinical and toxicological
data. A wide range of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbs
are investigated for their suitability into daily diets for
maintaining general wellness or disease prevention. In the past
decades, natural health products, dietary supplements, functional
foods, or nutraceuticals have emerged in the West due to the
increasing demand for non-pharmaceutical healthcare products.
Traditional Chinese Medicine disease prevention and treatment
incorporates the use of foods, and herbal medicine in an
integrated manner, and thus the dietary Chinese herbs in used in
TCM for thousands of years could be sources for developing new,
effective, and safe ingredients to capture the rapidly expanding
opportunity in the global market place.
