Description

Traditional medicines derived from natural sources have played an important role in the treatment of disease in China since ancient times. The use of such medicine over such a long period has resulted in the development of a large body of knowledge on the relationships between natural products and their biological activities. This knowledge, written in Chinese, has been anecdotal and has never been fully available in English.
