Abstract:

The electronic Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine (eJTCM) focuses on both Eastern and Western complementary medicine and publishes articles from all medical perspectives. All articles published in the Journal, including perspectives, review, original articles, and short communications are the original content of the authors. eJTCM considers the quality control and the procedures for the preparation and characterization of herbal medicines, as well as the authentication of dietary supplements, as basic requirements to guarantee efficacy, safety and reproducibility in Traditional and Complementary Medicine. eJTCM wishes to publish translational studies in animal and in cell experimental models as well as clinical studies. Particular emphasis is given to the pathophysiological basis and the cellular-molecular mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of Traditional and Complementary Medicine for preventing and curing human diseases. Observational and descriptive studies are not considered.
