An extraordinary compendium of information on herbal medicine,
Medicinal Plants of the World, Volume 2 comprehensively documents
the medicinal value of twenty-four major plants species widely used
around the world in medical formulations. The book's exhaustive
summary of available scientific data for the plants provides
detailed information on how each plant is used in different
countries, describing both traditional therapeutic applications and
what is known from its use in clinical trials. A comprehensive
bibliography of over 3000 references cites the literature available
from a wide range of disciplines. This book offers an unprecedented
collection of vital scientific information for pharmacologists,
herbal medicine practitioners, drug developers, medicinal chemists,
phytochemists, toxicologists, and researchers who want to explore
the use of plant materials for medicinal and related purposes.
By examining historical applications of the compounds found in
plants, this five-volume series serves as a reference for quality
assurance, research, product development, and regulatory guidance
of the compounds found in plant-based medicines. This work supports
the growing consumers' interest in herbal medicine for wellness and
health. Plant-Based Therapeutics, Volume 1: Cannabis
sativa, the first in the series, covers a unique plant
species and provides the framework to integrate its evidence-based
scientific discoveries with healthcare
therapies. Cannabis has been used in religious
ceremonies and medical purposes for thousands of years. Cannabidiol
(CBD), the main non-psychoactive component of Cannabis,
was isolated in the 1940s, and its structure was
established in the 1960s. In 1964 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC),
the psychoactive component, was isolated. Â
Cannabis has more than 500 components, of which 104
cannabinoids have been identified. Two of them, THC and CBD, have
been the primary components of scientific investigations. They were
approved by the FDA for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in
1985; for appetite stimulation in wasting conditions, such as AIDS,
in 1992, and in 2018 for treating two forms of
pediatric epilepsy, Dravet syndrome and
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Beyond the indications for which
cannabinoids are FDA-approved, the evidence reveals that
cannabinoid receptors are present throughout the body, embedded in
cell membranes, and are believed to be more numerous than any
other receptor system. When cannabinoid receptors are stimulated, a
variety of physiologic processes ensue. Thus, other constituents
of Cannabis are extremely promising either as
individual compounds or their potential synergistic or entourage
effects in the treatment of numerous medical
conditions.Â
