内容説明

Taking the mystery out of miracle cures, this work explores the medical practices of non-Western cultures to establish a scientific basis for the successes of folk remedies. It explains why Western medical researchers are increasingly turning their attention to folk medicine for new drugs, and brings together work from many countries and a variety of cultures.
