Complementary and Alternative Cardiovascular Medicine
Academic clinicians, clinical scientists, well-known practitioners of alternative medicine, and authors of popular works on the subject summarize the facts about complementary cardiovascular medicines so that physicians can confidently and knowledgeably advise their patients. The authors comprehensively explain the background for each important alternative therapy, its rationale, the evidence supporting its use, its possible interaction with standard medicines, and, where possible, what is known about its safety and efficacy. The therapies for treating coronary heart disease (CHD) range from the more commonly encountered herbs, vitamins, supplements, and dietary fats and oils, to such less familiar techniques as acupuncture, homeopathy, massage, chelation therapy, meditation, aroma therapies, prayer, and energy therapies.

Exposition of Ardisia Humilis Vahl in Ameliorating Hepatic Manifestations
Herbal medicines are fast becoming the default choice for the treatment of diseases. Most research has focused on clinical and experimental medicine (safety, efficacy and mechanism of action) and regulatory issues, to the general neglect of public health dimensions. This book is an illustrative account of the usage of Ardisia humilis Vahl in the traditional medicinal system and its subsequent systematic validation and experimental standardization with special emphasis on its prospects in stabilizing hepatic manifestations. It covers basic aspects of the phytocomposition, pharmacopoeial standardization, and in vitro and in vivo studies aimed at the verification of its use in the traditional system of medicine. The work embedded in the book successfully upholds the folkloric claims of traditional practitioners in the treatment of jaundice. The book will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, students and others who are engaged in exploring and standardizing traditional medicines and herbal formulations.

Kenneth Jones describes the different varieties of pau d’arco and their applications in South American folk medicine, as well as giving clear directions for the herb’s preparation and dosage in the form of a tea and as an extract. Reviewing the wide-ranging scientific literature concerning pau d’arco, he also summarizes the results of the most up-to-date research on its medical benefits. Moreover, he points out the ecological dangers facing this and other valuable rain forest plants, stressing our need to ensure the sustainability of the tropical rain forests and the life giving herbs they contain.
