title: Asian traditional medicine: from molecular biology to organ circulation.
abstract: Asian tradition medicine (ATM), such as herbal medicine and acupuncture, has been widely used in the treatment of diseases, but the effects still remain unclear at the level of the microcirculation. Up to now, a variety of approaches have been made to comprehensively evaluate the significance of ATM. Microcirculatory studies of ATM are introduced with reference to the history of international workshops in Asia.
