Many diseases have been demonstrated to associate with acute or chronic inflammation, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, depression, Kawasaki disease, and even cancer. However, treatment options for inflammatory diseases have been limited to anti-inflammatory medications (e.g., acetaminophen) or steroid hormones. Complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs) provide natural and effective protection for those who suffer from inflammatory diseases. This special issue is focused on the evidence-based research of CAMs for treatment of inflammatory diseases.
