In looking for efficient methods of treatment plants were of traditional (folk) medicine. The present investigation involves an approach based on the concepts of informational content of complicated prescriptions which form the basis of traditional medicine. Methods have been worked out of informational screening of structure of composite multicomponent herbal remedies, on the basis of the information theory using statistical methods. Computer the analysis has been performed of 176 phytotherapeutic formulae for the treatment of ChGN, based on the folk medicine experience. Phytocompositions have been selected to be used for a target-oriented action on human organism in ChGN, being characterized by duplication of components of unidirectional action. Herbs plants were singled out, incompatible in the treatment of ChGN.
