Features: "Pain-relieving Herbal Medicine" is a specialized book that compiles the theories, clinical applications, and experimental research on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for pain relief from ancient to modern times. Clinical manifestations of pain can be extremely diverse, and the causes of pain are also highly complex. Various pain conditions cannot be effectively treated simply by alleviating the pain. Therefore, the use of pain-relieving herbs must involve identifying the nature of the pain and its underlying causes, guided by the theories of TCM combined with modern pharmacology. While TCM for pain relief does not exclude the use of specific herbs, traditional and specialized herbs are often included in the process of identifying the nature of the pain and selecting appropriate treatments. Based on this objective reality, this book extensively collects various pain-relieving herbs in TCM, classifies them, and conducts comprehensive research. It compiles the theories, experiences, and modern pharmacological studies of TCM practitioners from ancient to modern times. This not only serves as a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of various pain conditions and the application of specific formulas and herbs but also provides rich resources for the development and research of various pain-relieving drugs.
