Pengelly's user friendly text will encourage educators in medical
science to consider using this material in the complementary
medicine/nutraceuticals areas May I congratulate Andrew Pengelly
for writing this text as it is going to be very popular with
undergraduate students as well as more experienced readers.'D.
Green, London Metropolitan University, UKThis unique book explains
in simple terms the commonly occurring chemical constituents of
medicinal plants. The major classes of plant constituents such as
phenols, terpenes and polysaccharides, are described both in terms
of their chemical structures and their pharmacological activities.
Identifying specific chemical compounds provides insights into
traditional and clinical use of these herbs, as well as potential
for adverse reactions. Features include: * Over 100 diagrams of
chemical structures* References to original research studies and
clinical trials * References to plants commonly used throughout
Europe, North America and Australasia.Written by an experienced
herbal practitioner, The Constituents of Medicinal Plants seriously
challenges any suggestion that herbal medicine remains untested and
unproven, including as it does hundreds of references to original
research studies and trials. Designed as an undergraduate text, the
first edition of this book became an essential desktop reference
for health practitioners, lecturers, researchers, producers and
anyone with an interest in how medicinal herbs work. This edition
has been extensively revised to incorporate up-to-date research and
additional sections, including an expanded introduction to plant
molecular structures, and is destined to become a classic in the
literature of herbal medicine.
