As far back as 2800 B.C., a traceable record 'Chen Nang Pen Tsao', clearly indicated the treating of patients using traditional Chinese medicine. 'Hua Tau', 145 to 203 A.D., the most famous doctor in ancient Chinese medical history, used herbs for general anesthesia in an operation. Chinese medical herbs (CMH) have been used in clinical practice for thousands years and are well known in Chinese societies. CMH may offer significant potential for new drug discovery especially anti-cancer and anti-rheumatic therapy. Unfortunately, well-controlled case studies are relatively lacking, therefore, the usefulness of CMH has not been generally accepted. In recent years, the entry of many well-trained scientists into the field has opened up the possibilities of breakthrough in the study of CMH. Many traditional Chinese herbs are .considered to be tonics and have immuno-modulating effects that can promote health and stimulate the body resistance. A significant number of animal experiments and clinical trials of CMH have shown the presence of immune-enhancing ingredients that can reverse immuno-suppression and possess anti-tumor effects. On the other hand, some herbs have been shown to be immuno-suppressive and can be used as anti-inflammatory agents used in autoimmune disease. However, the immuno-modulatory mechanism action of most herbs is still unclear.
