The reproducible quality of phytopharmaceuticals--herbal medicines--is an essential prerequisite for good efficacy and tolerability in the treatment of functional disorders. In clinical trials and scientific investigations, standardized assessments (i.e., validated, internationally recognized and
Cimicifuga racemosa extract is a well-established therapy for menopausal symptoms. The mechanisms underlying the multiple therapeutic effects of Cimicifuga extract, e.g. reducing hot flushes and profuse sweating are not well defined. Recent studies revealed pronounced effects of Ze Assessing adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is a proven method to estimate the safety of medicines. The ADRs to herbal medicines in Australia (and by inference, the safety of herbal medicines in Australia) remain unknown. This study examines spontaneous ADR cases to four of the most Actein is isolated from the rthizomes of Cimicifuga foetida, which is a triterpene glycoside, displaying suppressive effects on breast cancer cells proliferation. However, the effects of actein treatment on liver injury, tending to cancer, have little to be known. Thus, the study is conducted to
Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) causes serious pediatric infection of the lower respiratory tract without effective therapeutic modality. Sheng-Ma-Ge-Gen-Tang (SMGGT; Shoma-kakkon-to) has been proven to be effective at inhibiting HRSV-induced plaque formation, and Cimicifuga foetida is the
