Description

This volume provides a contemporary overview of new strategies for traditional medicine development. It emphasizes the importance of cataloging ethnomedical information, determining the active principles, and examining the genetic diversity and range of actions of traditional medicines. It discusses the challenges of using traditional medicines for diseases where access to modern medicine is limited, and the research areas needed to improve quality, safety, and efficacy for enhancing healthcare. Affirming the importance of traditional medicines as an essential and integral component of healthcare systems, it explores the vast opportunities for their evidence-based development.

Media Reviews

"I quickly understood that this was not another book on the origin of plant-derived drugs, rather it is a collection of 21 chapters presenting state-of-the-art information on a wide range of important areas of medicinal plant research with a unifying theme of health and healing, rooted in many distinct and interrelated scientific disciplines. … This book presents an array of medicinal plant research of great importance to global public health. … The dynamic integration of these disciplines in this volume makes the book a valuable tool for many different audiences."
—Steven King, Ph.D., Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., HerblaGram100, The Journal of the American Botanical Council, Nov 2013–January 2014
