The medicinal plants of China, Korea, and Japan have had, and continue to have, a great impact on human health. In order to find new drugs, researchers must be aware that these plants hold tremendous potential. Exploring the pharmacological and cosmetological potential of these plants, this book describes some of the most prominent candidates for drug and cosmetic discovery. The text provides the key and fundamental elements for lead compounds as well as cutting-edge information about the phytochemical and pharmacological status and the future pharmaceutical potential of each and every plant. It also serves as a roadmap to help chart directions for future research in the field of drug and cosmetic discovery.
