A classic in the literature of herbal medicine, this book explains
in simple terms the commonly occurring chemical constituents of
medicinal plants, and how these react with the human body. 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. The last 20 years
has seen huge growth in research output in phytochemistry, and this
edition has been thoroughly revised to incorporate up-to-date
research. It contains a new chapter on resins and cannabinoids, and
additional content on macrocarpals, essential oil chemotypes,
mushroom polysaccharides, phytochemical synergy, and toxicology of
phytochemicals. Features include: * Over 200 diagrams of chemical
structures * Coverage of energetics, synergism and the emerging
field of network pharmacology * New content on seaweeds and fungi,
and polyphenol-rich foods * References to primary research
literature in pharmacy, pharmacology, chemistry, plant biology,
molecular biology, integrative medicine and many other disciplines
Written by an experienced herbal practitioner, The Constituents of
Medicinal Plants has become a standard textbook for courses on
plant-based medicine. It is also an essential desktop reference for
health practitioners, lecturers, researchers, producers, and anyone
with an interest in how medicinal herbs work.
