Preface

Herbal Medicine: Back to the Future presents expert reviews on the applications of herbal medicines (including Ayurveda, Chinese traditional medicines and alternative therapies). This volume demonstrates the use of sophisticated methods to explore traditional medicine, while providing readers a glimpse into the future of herbal medicine. The book is a valuable resource for pharmaceutical scientists and postgraduate students seeking updated and critically important information in natural product chemistry and pharmacology. The chapters are written by authorities in the field. The contents of this volume represent exciting recent researches on ROS in Cancer Cell Lines, Natural Antimutagens, Encapsulated Plant-Derived Polyphenols, Cancer-related Fatigue, Indirubins, Plants Used in Ayurveda, Plant Based Bioactive Compounds, and Melanocyte Regeneration. I hope that the readers involved in cancer care will find these reviews valuable and thought provoking so that they may trigger further research in herbal medicine and alternative therapies against cancer.

I am grateful for the timely efforts made by the editorial personnel, especially Mr. Mahmood Alam (Director Publications), and Mr. Shehzad Naqvi (Editorial Manager Publications) at Bentham Science Publishers.
