Opis

Herbal medicines are fast becoming the default choice for the treatment of diseases. Most research has focused on clinical and experimental medicine (safety, efficacy and mechanism of action) and regulatory issues, to the general neglect of public health dimensions. This book is an illustrative account of the usage of Ardisia humilis Vahl in the traditional medicinal system and its subsequent systematic validation and experimental standardization with special emphasis on its prospects in stabilizing hepatic manifestations. It covers basic aspects of the phytocomposition, pharmacopoeial standardization, and in vitro and in vivo studies aimed at the verification of its use in the traditional system of medicine. The work embedded in the book successfully upholds the folkloric claims of traditional practitioners in the treatment of jaundice. The book will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, students and others who are engaged in exploring and standardizing traditional medicines and herbal formulations.
