"Advanced Clinical Therapies in Cardiovascular Chinese Medicine" is a reference on cardiovascular diseases that can be treated with Chinese medicine in both outpatient and inpatient settings in China. The book also examines the scope of practice of TCM in treating cardiovascular disease in a private or multi-disciplinary setting.

This book is aimed at US-based licensed TCM practitioners as well as cardiology researchers.
Realistically describes diseases that are commonly treated using Chinese medicineGuides the treatment of cardiovascular disease in the hospital and private clinic settings in China as a referencePrepares the practitioner to sit for the Niambi Wellness Integrative anatomy and pathophysiology in cardiology final online exam

Every channel/meridian and point is named in Chinese with translation to English. Actions as the expected positive effect of a point's manipulation are succinct yet clear, along with indications/symptoms that would suggest treatment to that point, all covered in 6 laminated pages. A companion to our illustrated anatomical QuickStudy guide to acupressure/acupuncture points on the body. Suggested uses: o Students & Teachers a of acupuncture, acupressure, chiropractic, massage and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) o Patients a and potential patients of an acupressure point based treatment to become familiar with what is treatable and what areas of the body need focus

"Integrative Anatomy and Pathophysiology in Traditional Chinese Medicine Cardiology" covers the structure, function, and pathology of the cardiovascular system from the TCM and western medical perspectives. It focuses specifically on western medicine anatomy and pathophysiology, along with TCM aspects of essence, qi, blood and body fluid concepts, production, and function to explain cardiovascular system dysfunction, its independent role and dependent interactions with the functions of other organ systems.

This book is designed for US-based licensed TCM practitioners as well as cardiology researchers.
Compares and contrasts the TCM basic theories and western medicine basic sciencesGives a specific connection between the heart dysfunction and the disease mechanisms of other organ systems using TCM and western medicine terms and diagnosesPrepares the practitioner to sit for the Niambi Wellness Integrative Anatomy and pathophysiology in cardiology final online exam

Phytochemical Profiling of Commercially Important South African Plants comprises a carefully selected group of plant species that are of interest to researchers and industry partners who would like to investigate the commercialization of plant species. The book presents 25 botanicals selected based on commercial relevance. For each of the species, the following topics are covered: botanical description and distribution, phytochemistry (including chemical structures), HPTLC fingerprint analysis, UPLC analysis, and GC analysis (the latter only in the case of essential oil-bearing species). Using standard methodology, high-level chromatographic fingerprints have been developed for better understanding. Different methods are succinctly summarized allowing for the rapid identification of botanical raw materials and formulated consumer products. This book will be extremely valuable to researchers in the field who wish to rapidly identify the constituents and for those who want to prepare formulations of plant material for commercial applications. This work will also be a valuable resource in the field of pharmacognosy.

While biotechnological advances, genomics and high throughput screenings or combinatorial and asymmetric syntheses are opening new opportunities in drug discovery, the industry is facing serious innovation deficit. The total number of new molecules registered per year has dropped in contrast to expected increase. Post marketing failures of blockbuster drugs have become major concerns of industries. On the other side, globally there is a major shift to sue of traditional medicine involving complementary and alternative therapies. Ethnopharmacology and traditional medicines have contributed in past significantly in the process of natural product drug discovery. There are two clear tracks where ethnopharmacology has potential to contribute in future drug research. First, as a discovery engine to provide new targets, leads, and second, use of quality assured and standardized traditional medicines. In this scenario, it is important to understand the mechanisms of drug discovery and pharmaceutical development with a focus on herbal drugs and neutraceutical. This book provides historical perspective, future prospects and significance of ethnopharmacology in drug research. It also provides important steps in botanical drug discovery and development including bioprospecting, quality control, standardization, pharmaceutics, stability, pharmacokinetics, and bioavailability with examples from ethnopharmacology and herbal medicine. One of the important feature of this book is to give an excellent insight to Good Laboratory and Good Clinical Practices along with very useful summary steps involved in filing IND or NDA of botanical products. The book also gives Regulators' perspective of validating claims and how ethnopharmacological or traditional medicines need different approach.
