Medicinal flora plays an important role in health care systems
across the world. Out of the half million flowering plants, around
50.000 species are valued for their therapeutic properties. During
the last few decades, 20% of the world's population used plants
and/or their derived products as a source of medicine. WHO stated
that 80% population around the globe, specifically the rural
communities, depend on medicinal plants for their basic healthcare
needs. To this end, plant-based phytochemicals are known to have
hepato-protective, anti-carcinogenic, anti-allergic,
anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant actions. This book is
a guide to ~280 plant species of medicinal flora that demonstrates
global relevance. Our goal is to share local knowledge about
phytomedicines to a worldwide audience. It is an illustrated
reference that documents and preserves the existing knowledge on
these plant taxa, with a social and cultural (ethnobotanical)
emphasis. This book also provides comprehensive and useful
information about traditional uses of medicinal plants by the local
communities for the treatment of various prevalent diseases. It
contains comprehensive descriptions of each species including
family, synonyms, English name, distribution, altitude, habitat,
morphological description, life form, part used, mode of
utilization, diseases category, recipes, other medicinal uses,
phytochemical activity and toxicity.
