Traditional herbal medicines--the role of polyphenols

E Haslam et al. Planta Med. 1989 Feb.

Abstract

The polyphenol composition of some traditional herbal remedies is reviewed. Polyphenols probably act in such remedies by virtue of their astringent action and current views on the molecular basis of this property are outlined and discussed.
