From the beginning of human civilization, people have depended on
plants to cure disease, promote healing of injuries, and alleviate
pain. In many places that has changed very little. In the West,
however, herbal and botanical cures have long been ignored in favor
of "scientific medicine." But the benefits of medicinal plants are
being rediscovered in many developed countries, where consumers are
turning to such therapies in place of, and in addition to, Western
medical treatments. And, all over the world, the drive to lower the
cost of health care has made herbals and botanicals an attractive
alternative to more expensive synthetic remedies. In 1978, the
World Health Organization responded to increased interest in
medicinal plants by convening a series of international
consultations, seminars, and symposia to explore and promote the
use of medicinal plants. Medicinal Plants presents the proceedings
of the last of these symposia, held in 1993. It brings together an
vast range of information and presents an overview of the use of
medicinal plants that includes a discussion of a variety of
issues-scientific, economic, regulatory, agricultural,
cultural-focused on the importance of medicinal plants to primary
health care and global health care reform.
