Features: Comprehensive Guide to Traditional Chinese Medicine is a book that fully introduces the resources and research of traditional Chinese medicine in China. The three volumes published this time are all about plant-based medicines, with a collection of species largely 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 has focused on strengthening 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 enhanced. Most of the references trace back to 2000. The third volume of this book includes 151 species of herbs, leaves, bark, vines, woods, resins, algae, fungi, and other commonly used traditional Chinese medicines. Each species is described separately in terms of its history, original plant, collection and processing, medicinal materials and production, chemical composition, identification of medicinal materials, properties 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 is an important reference book for professionals in the fields of traditional Chinese medicine research, teaching, production, operation, inspection, and management.
