The Arabian Encyclopedia of Medicinal Herbs

The current Arabic books written on medicinal herbs confined to descriptions of the traditional medicinal uses of the herbs without dealing with their home area ,old uses,nutritional values,chemical compounds , their pharmacological effectiveness, healthy methods of use . They also tend to use their local names in each country, and neglect to provide clear images, or precautions against their abuse. The first volume of the Encyclopedia is intended to fill the gaps and avoid the shortcomings above. It mentions the various names given to each herb/crop in the different Arab countries with an introduction about their traditional uses and the folkloric heritage about them, as well as their English and scientific names. However,because most of us have a profound lack of knowledge as to what our bodies need to function properly,therefore,we find ourselves susceptible to all sorts of diseases.Thus,all individuals must know the crops details to maintain their health and disorders. If someone has stomach cramps, looking through this book, he can come to know what crops can be recommended. it is a book of a very wide use, a real ¿book on the table¿, and not something you keep on a shelf.
