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.
