Guest guest Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 International Collation of Traditional and Folk Medicine (in 4 volumes) edited by Takeatsu Kimura (Daiichi College of Pharmaceutical Sciences), Paul P H But (The Chinese University of Hong Kong), Ji-Xian Guo (Shanghai Medical University) & Chung Ki Sung (Chonnam National University) Traditional folk medicine practices in Korea, China, Japan, and Hong Kong — all located in Northeast Asia — are comparable. Since different usage of a medicine may reflect cultural or regional differences, a detailed collation of the folk knowledge of traditional medicine can help to distinguish between true medical knowledge and superstition. In this first volume of a series of books that will compare the differences and similarities of traditional folk medicine practiced around the world, 200 of the most frequently used medicinal plants in Northeast Asia are selected by the international editorial board to be featured. The folk medical knowledge in each entry includes the botanical and local names of the drug, special processing, the administration method, efficacy in each country, contra-indications, and side effects. Also included are the scientific data on their chemistry and pharmacology, with references. All this scientific information should be a valuable asset to medical and research scientists working on the bioactive components of natural products. Readership: Medical and research scientists interested in bioactive components of natural products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Dear Jim, No, but sounds very interesting...might be very useful in "comparing and contrasting Maya medicine" here in Guatemala.. By the way started to read your essays placed on CHA, challenging reading and questions no doubt will arise... Did you not mention you host a pulse list in an earlier letter? If so would you mind sending the details again please... Marco - jramholz Monday, September 02, 2002 11:07 PM Anybody Read This?

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Marco: I'm still hoping that someone is interested in the books and will write a short review of it. It would be nice if Todd promoted short book reviews and more article abstracts to the forum when it moves.
