The toxicity of TCM is one of the key problems in safety. To solve this critical problem, we could refer to the international practices, the western botanical medicine researches, the basis of the theory of TCM, the application of modern technologies and new methods, the results of basic research and the development of appropriate evaluation system and research specii cation. In this paper, we outlined the outcomes of the recent technical methods and applied research related to the evaluation of the toxicity of TCM to provide theoretical basis for TCM toxicity evaluation and technical guidelines, which could also provide research demonstration for typical toxic TCM, such asTripterygium wilfordii as well as promote the development of TCM toxicity studies.
