Features: The New Compendium of Chinese Materia Medica is a comprehensive book introducing China's traditional Chinese medicine resources. The three volumes published this time are all plant-based medicines, with the number of species collected being roughly similar to those in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (2000 Edition), Volume I. To meet the needs of quality evaluation, modernization, and internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine, this book places special emphasis on the qualitative identification of chemical components and traditional Chinese medicine components, as well as the quantitative analysis of characteristic or active components of traditional Chinese medicine. For some important and commonly used traditional Chinese medicines, the macroscopic and microscopic identification of medicinal materials has also been strengthened. Most references are traced back to 2000. This volume includes 157 commonly used root and rhizome medicinal materials. Each is introduced separately in terms of its history, original plant, collection and processing, medicinal material and production/marketing, chemical composition, medicinal identification, nature, flavor, and efficacy, pharmacological effects and clinical applications, as well as notes, accompanied by references. This book scientifically reflects the latest achievements of current traditional Chinese medicine research and serves as an important reference for professionals in the fields of traditional Chinese medicine research, teaching, production, business, inspection, and management.
