Chinese herbal pharmacology
Chinese herbal pharmacology involves the study of natural plant-based substances used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to promote health and treat illness. It focuses on understanding the properties, actions, and interactions of these herbs, such as their effects on the body's energy (Qi), blood flow, and organ functions. The goal is to restore balance and harmony within the body by selecting herbs tailored to individual needs. Modern research aims to identify active compounds, ensure safety, and integrate traditional knowledge with scientific validation for effective, personalized therapies.
