Produktbeschreibung

Asian medicinal plants show great promise in pharmaceutical and cosmetological development. This volume explores the fundamental science and demonstrates the compelling potential of these versatile plants. Chapters are arranged according to the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system of plant taxonomy. The book discusses the history, synonymy, habitat, description, traditional uses, and pharmacochemistry of each plant. Detailed photographs and hand-made botanical plates enable quick and reliable identification of each plant species. Critical analyses of peer-reviewed articles provide the basis for Bioresource sections in each chapter and indexes of botanical terms, pharmacological terms, natural products, and local names are also included.
