The western scientific community has long ignored traditional Chinese medicine because of its lack of scientific proof, all of its support being empirical and anecdotal in nature. In response to the charge that it is unscientific, scientists are conducting exacting and exhaustive studies on commonly used Chinese herbs. Employing the most advanced methods known to chemical science, they are discovering the constituents, properties, and actions of many individual herbs, often substantiating the wisdom of traditional use. In 1982 the Oriental Healing Arts Institute published the landmark work, The Chemical Constituents of Oriental Herbs by Dr. Hong-yen Hsu, president of the Institute. In the first edition he classified most Chinese herbal drugs that had appeared in scientific publications through 1978. In this second volume Dr. Hsu updates the information, making it current through 1982. During the intervening four years scientists have isolated many new compounds. These plus some omitted from the first volume are included, bringing the total to more than 1400 herbs. The result is a first-rate textbook indispensable for any serious student of traditional Chinese medicine.
