Metabolomics of Personalized Body Elements in Thai Traditional Medicine Response to Herbal Medicine for Body Elements Balancing in Healthy Volunteers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In Thai traditional medicine (TTM), the dominant body element called "Dhat Chao Ruean" (DCR) is an integral part in the diagnostic process of Thai traditional medicine. TTM practitioners usually use Thai herbal Benjakul formula (BKF) for adjusting and balancing the body elements. However, the effects of BKF on metabolism and individual response to it have not been studied yet.

Methods

This study proposed to investigate the metabolic profiling in 24 volunteers categorized by their types of birth month DCR (bDCR) after the administration of BKF (450 mg, three tablets three times a day before meals) for seven days. Differences in metabolic profiling between bDCR groups were investigated by using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry for untargeted anal
