Описание: Bioactive Compounds of Medicinal Plants: Properties and Potential for Human Health sheds light on the immense potential of medicinal plants from human health from different technological aspects, focusing on the continent of Africa.
Medicinal plants are herbal organisms containing substances that can generate therapeutic benefits.
According to data collected by the World Health Organization, plants provide the active ingredients and adjuvants used in 25% of existing medicines and over 7,000 medical compounds are derived from plants.
Medicinal plants: origins the use of herbal medicines dates back as far as 1500 B.C. when the ancient Egyptians used medicinal herbs such as myrrh, ivy and marjoram.
The first well-organized medical treatises on the benefits of plants, on the other hand, are due to the Greek Hippocrates, in the fifth century BC, who took up the recipes and findings of Heracles and Celsus, his predecessors.
The Romans, starting from the first century AD, promoted the cultivation of medical gardens, i.e. gardens dedicated to hosting medicinal plants.
The first pharmacopoeia, with precise recipes, also in relation to chemical compositions, is due to the Arab civilization that also promoted the use of tinctures and distillates.
For this reason we have decided to propose a new "shortened" list focused on the 150 most used medical plants.
The criterion we have used in our definition of "medicinal plants" includes: plants and shrubs, also with berries, edible flowers or with curative properties and roots.

Описание: Culpeper`s Complete Herbal was originally published in 1652 as The English Physitian, and in 1653 under its more well-known title. It is a practical health guide, describing plants, where and when they grow, and what symptoms they alleviate.
If you're wondering how Golden Rod, Ragwort, and Devil's Bit got their names, how Dandelion can be used to treat liver disorders, or how Horseradish staves off scurvy, look no further than A Modern Herbal. This modern reboot of the medieval herbal improves upon its predecessors with meticulously researched scientific support and pages of recorded folklore about each entry. Encyclopedic in coverage, A Modern Herbal covers every herb, grass, shrub, fungus, and tree you can think of, from to Abscess Root to Zedoary.
Building on the traditional herbal, which combines folklore about the plants, their medicinal properties, anatomies, and botanical classification, Mrs. Greive has compiled a one-of-a-kind encyclopedia of more than 800 varieties of plants. The entries are neatly and thoroughly filled with seemingly boundless amounts of information on cultivation methods, chemical constituents, dosages, preparations of extracts, tinctures, and foods, as well as cosmetic properties, and beautiful, detailed illustrations. Also included are hundreds of recipes for lotions, ointments, sauces, wines, vinegars, brandies, and prescriptions for tonics and liniments to combat just about any ailment.
"There is not one page of this enchanting book which does not contain something to interest the common reader as well as the serious student...regarded simply as a history of flowers, it adds to the joys of the country." - B.E. Todd, Spectator
