Bridging Traditions for a New Era in Personalized Natural Medicine: Volume 1 – Foundations and Mechanisms offers a comprehensive and authoritative exploration of the scientific principles underpinning the integration of natural products into the rapidly evolving field of personalized medicine. By integrating centuries of traditional medicinal knowledge with modern advances in molecular biology, pharmacogenomics, and precision medicine, this volume provides a rigorous evidence-based framework for understanding how natural compounds can be tailored to individual genetic, molecular, and clinical characteristics. The book examines the evolution of personalized medicine, the role of natural products in modern drug discovery, pharmacogenomics, biomarker-guided therapies, and epigenetic regulation, before extending these concepts to precision approaches in oncology, autoimmune diseases, neuropharmacology, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and diabetes. Emphasis is placed on translating mechanistic insights into evidence-based therapeutic strategies and demonstrating the clinical potential of plant-derived bioactive compounds in precision healthcare. Written by an international team of experts, each chapter combines current scientific evidence with emerging perspectives to support advanced learning, interdisciplinary research, and clinical innovation. An essential reference for postgraduate students, researchers, clinicians, and academics in pharmacology, pharmaceutical sciences, natural products, and precision medicine, this peer-reviewed volume provides an authoritative foundation for the future development of personalized natural therapeutics.
