Mechanism of action
CHM formulations typically contain dozens of bioactive constituents (alkaloids, polysaccharides, flavonoids, terpenoids) that target multiple pathways simultaneously rather than a single molecular target. The therapeutic effect emerges from combined anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and tissue-protective actions across multiple organ systems, consistent with traditional Chinese medicine theory of restoring systemic balance.
