Abstract
More than 100 traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) are being used in patients with stroke to enhance post-stroke recovery in China and other parts of the world for many years. These medicines have been claimed to have anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-glutamate affects, in addition to their ability to dilate blood vessels, suppress platelet aggregation, protect against reperfusion injury and to increase the tolerance of the ischemic tissue to hypoxia.
