Some have been in clinical use under medical supervision with tens of millions of documented cases. This form of botanical medicine is very similar to American medicine. Herbs such as Silybum marianum (milk thistle), Ginkgo biloba (ginkgo) Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry extract), and Ilex guayusa have shown useful for treatment of a variety of chronic illnesses. Many herbs in China have been studied extensively; among these herbs are ginseng, fresh ginger rhizome, Chinese foxglove root, baical skullcap root, wild chrysanthemum flower, and licorice root. A number of Ayurvedic herbs also have recently been studied in India under modern scientific conditions, including Eclipta alba, Indian gooseberry, neem, turmeric, and trikatu.
