Herbal Medicines Prevent the Development of Atopic Dermatitis by Multiple Mechanisms
摘要
Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is among the most common skin disorders in humans. Although a variety of regimens are available for the treatment of AD
preventive approaches are limited. Recent studies have demonstrated that certain naturally-occurring herbal medicines are effective in preventing the development of AD via divergent mechanisms
such as inhibiting cytokine and chemokine expression
IgE production
inflammatory cell infiltration
histamine release
and/or enhancement of epidermal permeability barrier function. Yet
they exhibit few adverse effects. Since herbal medicines are widely available
inexpensive and generally safe
they could represent an ideal approach for preventing the development of AD
in both highly developed and developing countries.
