Storax, A Promising Botanical Medicine for Treating Cardio-Cerebrovascular Diseases: A Review

In recent years, the incidence and mortality of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases have been increasing year by year, which has become global burden and challenge. Based on the holistic thinking of “brain disease affects the heart” and “heart disease affects the brain,” as well as the characteristics o...
