Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an alternative medical practice drawn from traditional medicine in China. A large share of its claims are pseudoscientific, with the majority of treatments having no robust evidence of effectiveness or logical mechanism of action. Some TCM ingredients are known to be toxic and cause disease, including cancer. Medicine in traditional China encompassed a range of sometimes competing health and healing practices, folk beliefs, literati theory, Taoist and Confucian philosophy, herbal remedies, food, diet, exercise, medical specializations, and schools of thought. TCM as it exists today has been described as a largely 20th century invention. In the early twe…

Chinese herbology or Chinese materia medica (traditional Chinese: 中藥學; simplified Chinese: 中药学; pinyin: zhōngyào xué; lit. 'Chinese medication study') is the theory of traditional Chinese pharmacotherapy, which accounts for the majority of treatments in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is analogous to other traditional materia medica systems. The term herbology is misleading in the sense that, while plant elements are by far the most commonly used substances, animal, human, and mineral products are also used, some of which are poisonous. In the Huangdi Neijing they are referred to as 毒藥 (pinyin: dúyào) which means "poison-medicine". Paul U. Unschuld points out that this is similar ety…

Integrating Traditional Chinese Medicine and Nanotechnology for Enhanced Management of Anti-Tumor Drug Toxicity.. While anti-tumor drugs markedly improve patient survival, dose-limiting toxicities remain major constraints on clinical efficacy and quality of life. Conventional management strategies lack timeliness and precision. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and its active ingredients offer unique potential for mitigating anti-tumor drug toxicities through multi-component and multi-target regulation. However, the transformation of TCM is hampered by poor bioavailability and targeting. This review summarizes and evaluates an integrated strategy combining TCM with nanotechnology to develo…

Exploring the toxic effects of Kusnezoff Monkshood Root on respiratory diseases and analyzing its mechanism based on network toxicology and molecular docking technique: An in silico study.. Respiratory diseases, such as lung injury and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), significantly impact the quality of life and socio-economics of patients, and there is an urgent need for new therapeutic approaches and preventive measures. This study aimed to systematically analyze the toxic constituents of Kusnezoff Monkshood Root and their effects on the respiratory system through network toxicology and molecular docking techniques. We screened the active ingredients of Kusnezoff Monkshood Ro…

Ayurveda ( AH-yoor-VAY-də, -⁠VEE-; IAST: āyurveda) is an alternative medicine system with historical roots in the Indian subcontinent. It is heavily practised throughout India and Nepal, where as much as 80% of the population report using Ayurveda. Ayurveda has been adapted for Western consumption, notably by Baba Hari Dass in the 1970s and Maharishi Ayurveda in the 1980s. The theory and practice of Ayurveda are pseudoscientific, and many Ayurvedic preparations, particularly in the rasashastra tradition, contain toxic levels of lead, mercury, and arsenic. There is no evidence that cancer can be treated or cured through Ayurveda. Ayurveda therapies have varied and evolved over more than two…
