| Résumé : |
Pharmacognosy, the science of nature-derived drugs, pharmaceuticals,
and poisons, played a crucial role in the development of modern medicine,
and now has an equally important place in healthcare all over the world.
This wide scope ranges from traditional medicine systems and herbal and
nutritional therapies, the preparation and use of highly standardised and
clinically tested herbal medicines, to the production of potent drugs used
only in a purified form. Natural sources mainly focus on plants, fungi and
algae, but drug discovery of novel compounds and structures includes
bacteria and even marine animals.Fundamentals of Pharmacognosy and
Phytotherapy is a landmark textbook that covers this spectrum of medicinal
plant use. Written by leading experts in this field, this book takes the
reader through the history, identification, and quality assurance of
plant-based medicines to their therapeutic properties, safety, and
compatibility and interaction with prescribed drugs.Aimed at students of all
healthcare professions, including pharmacy, medicine, nursing and
complementary therapies, the comprehensively updated information in this
textbook is also relevant to those companies and organisations concerned
with the regulation and testing of herbal medicines (phytomedicines), other
natural health products, nutraceuticals and dietary supplements.
