Medicinal Spices and Vegetables from Africa: Therapeutic Potential
against Metabolic, Inflammatory, Infectious and Systemic Diseases
provides a detailed look at medicinal spices and vegetables that
have proven safe-and-effective for consumption and the treatment of
diseases, including infectious diseases, cardiovascular disease,
and cancer. It provides pharmacological evidence, such as the
latest information related to efficacy and safety data, in vitro
and in vivo studies, clinical trials, and more, to illustrate the
use of these spices and vegetables as both palliative and
alternative treatments with the goal of furthering research in this
area to produce safer and more effective drugs.
Two thousand five hundred years ago, Tibetan monks developed a
series of just five exercises, called "rites," which heal and
rejuvenate. This is Peter Kelder's "lost" 1946 "Eye of Revelation"
with new information about these Tibetan Rites and their history.
The South African Herbal Pharmacopeia: Monographs of Medicinal and
Aromatic Plants is a collection of 25 original monographs of
medicinal plants that are currently under commercialization or have
the potential for commercialization into herbal medicinal products
for the global marketplace. Chapters include a general overview
covering synonyms, common names, conservation status, botany,
geographical distribution, ethnopharmacology, commercialization,
pharmacological evaluation, chemical profiling and quality control,
including HPTLC fingerprint analysis, UPLC analysis, gas
chromatography and mid-infrared spectroscopy analysis. Academics
researching pharmacy and analytical chemistry will benefit from the
detailed chemical profile on each species presented. Industrial
manufacturers of herbal products, herbal medicines, cosmetics, food
supplements, and national and international policymakers and
regulators will benefit from the overview provided at the beginning
of each chapter.
