Description
This book contains papers presented at the International Symposium on Natural Medicines held in Kyoto, Japan on October 28 - 30, 1997.
It commemorated the fiftieth anniversary of the Japanese Society of Pharmacognosy. The academic field of pharmacognosy; the science of
natural medicines, covers a wide range of topics, including pharmaceutical botany, traditional medicines, and the biological activities
and chemistry of natural products. Thus,Towards Natural Medicine Research in the 21st Century is of interest to chemists and
biologists, as well as physicians. There is optimism that these reports will help provide a firm basis for future application of natural
medicines as we head towards the 21st century.
