Herbal Medicine : 1/E 2017

Herbal Medicine, edited by Holly Philips (Callisto Reference, 2017), explores herbal medicine as a form of alternative medicine that uses plants for treatment. Plant-derived compounds are widely recognised for their medicinal properties and are increasingly used in drug development, and this book examines effective remedies that can improve existing products. It covers established theories alongside newer concepts and recent advances in the field, using case studies and examples to make difficult topics easier to understand. A useful reference for pharmacy, pharmacognosy, AYUSH and life science students, researchers and healthcare professionals interested in herbal therapeutics.
