Phytomedicine and Phytotherapy

Phytomedicine refers to the study of botany that is concerned with the use of plants intended for medicinal and therapeutic purposes. Panax ginseng and Panax quinquefolium are common types of plants used for their therapeutic properties. The alternative practice of using unrefined plant or animal extracts for medicinal purposes is called phytotherapy. Such plant-derived or animal-derived medicines require very less processing. They are believed to be safer and more effective than other pharmaceutical drugs. Herbal dietary supplements are one of the most common examples of such plant-derived medicines. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the field of phytotherapy and phytomedicine. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of these fields are examined in detail. This book includes contributions of experts and researchers, which will provide innovative insights into this field.
