From the 19th Collegium Internationale Neuro-psychopharmacolgicum
(CINP) Congress in 1994 comes this long-awaited collection that
explores traditional herbal medicines as they relate to the
treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases today. Dr. Shigenobu Hanba,
co-chair of the symposium, joins together with co-editor Dr. Elliot
Richelson and other distinguished scientists from around the world
to discuss the role that age-old medicinals can play in modern-day
therapy. For clinical and basic scientists alike, Herbal Medicines
for Neuropsychiatric Disorders provides a comprehensive overview of
the status of traditional herbal medicines as they relate to the
treatment of neurospychiatric diseases. It will also serve as a
source for detailed information on specific natural products and
their constituents, as well as a reference point from which to
begin a more in-depth exploration of this fascinating field.
Eastern cultures have been using herbal medicines for centuries and
mainstream practitioners in many countries continue to use them as
valid and effective forms of therapy for neuropsychiatric
disorders. An important exception in Western culture, of course, is
the United States, where governmental standards for safety and
efficacy often pose obstacles for the speedy approval of drugs
based on what some might label folkloric remedies. However, in the
U.S. today, scientists are now conducting research with traditional
herbal medicines with the belief that they offer enormous
possibilities for the discovery of new drugs that would provide the
basis of a new and effective psychopharmacology.
Along with detailed information on this research, the readers of
Herbal Medicines for Neuropsychiatric Disorders explore ancient
cultures to gain a greater perspective on the herbal medicines of
Japan, China and India. Further reading offers chemical and
pharmacological studies of various herbal medicines, as well as
reports of studies in which behavioral and biochemical effects of
various herbal preparations were tested on senescence-acclerated
mice.
