Current Traditional Medicine (CTM)

Current Traditional Medicine is a multidisciplinary scientific journal dedicated to advancing research in traditional and complementary medical systems worldwide. Published by Bentham Science Publishers, the journal emphasizes rigorous peer review and the integration of classical knowledge with contemporary research methodologies to deepen understanding of ethnomedicine and its applications. Since its launch in 2015, the journal has produced bimonthly issues featuring original experimental research articles, in‑depth/mini‑reviews, systematic analyses, and perspectives that illuminate the chemical, biological, and clinical dimensions of traditional remedies. Topics span the modernization and standardization of traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, Unani, Arabic, and other indigenous systems, exploring their pharmacological action, molecular mechanisms, safety profiles, and therapeutic efficacy. The journal also includes studies on integrative practices such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, wound‑healing techniques, and naturopathy, aiming to connect ancient health traditions to modern life sciences and evidence‑based healthcare. By bridging ethnopharmacology with systems biology, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and clinical research, the journal facilitates the translation of traditional knowledge into scientifically validated applications. Its broad scope attracts researchers, clinicians, and policymakers interested in the scientific foundations and therapeutic potential of traditional medicine, making it a central resource in integrative and complementary medicine research.
