Opis

The purpose of this book is to focus on major considerations in the clinical use of botanicals and on the best evidence with botanical therapies as an integrated approach to health care globally. The editors here cover the key areas, ensure a global focus and include epidemiological studies. There are relevant sections on the chemical constituents of the various botanicals to round out the pharmacognosy aspects of the book. Finally, a summary on the editors' perspective of "challenges and opportunities" is provided, which discusses the practice of botanicals as integrative therapies and where they are heading in the future.

Recenzje

Not only does this book emphasize pharmacognosy of botanicals, it sheds light on
some of the opportunities and challenges healthcare providers and patients face
with the growing interest in integrative medicine. I appreciate the strategies
it provides for finding and evaluating the quality of online resources and
medical apps. Considering the ubiquitous use of botanicals, busy clinicians
need high quality resources to better counsel their patients on any associated
benefits, risks, and adverse interactions.
