In the last century the sources of natural medicine have expanded to include higher and lower plants, microorganisms, marine organisms, arthropods as well as animals. Nevertheless plants continue to be the major source of biologically active natural products such as teas extracts and tinctures, which may be utilised. Therefore, inspite of the substantial advances that have been made in synthetic chemistry, herbs and their constituents still remain an integral part of modern therapeutics. This book of Phytotherapy is designed to provide an objective review of the available information on the pharmacology of commonly used herbs, their history, complexity, efficacy, safety, preservation and specific situations for the use of herbs. This book is useful for a wide variety of students and professionals with various interests.
