Medicinal plants and plant-derived medicine are widely used in
traditional cultures all over the world and they are becoming
increasingly popular in modern society as natural alternatives to
synthetic chemicals. As more and more natural remedies are being
commercialised, there is a need for a user-friendly reference guide
to the plants and their products. The book gives the reader a
bird's eye view of more than 350 of the bestknown medicinal plants
of the world and their uses, in a compact, colourful and
scientifically accurate reference text. It provides quick answers
to the most obvious questions: Where does this plant originate?
What does it look like? In which culture is it traditionally used?
What is it used for? Which chemical compounds does it contain? How
safe is it? What is known about its pharmacological activity? What
evidence is there that it is effective? The authors also provide
short overviews of the various health conditions for which
medicinal plants are used and the active compounds (secondary
metabolites) found in the plants and their modes of actions.
