| Summary: | "Continuing in the tradition of the widely acclaimed first volume of Medicinal Plants of the World, Ivan A. Ross now comprehensively documents in Volume 2 the medicinal value of another twenty-four major plant species widely used around the world in medical formulations. His exhaustive summary of available scientific data for each plant provides detailed information on how the plant is used in different countries, describing its traditional therapeutic applications and what is known from its use in clinical trials. Additional material presented includes a botanical description with a color photo of each plant for identification, the common names used for the plant throughout the world, and a listing of the plant's known chemical constituents. A comprehensive bibliography cites the literature available from a wide range of disciplines. [This volume] offers an unprecedented collection of vital scientific information for pharmacologists, herbal medicine practitioners, drug developers, phytochemists, medicinal chemists, phytologists, toxicologists, and researchers who want to explore the use of plant materials for medicinal and related purposes. Its wealth of significant facts will reveal little-known information about these plants and open application horizons for the many novel drugs and drug candidates found in them."--From back cover. |
