DESCRIPTION

Therapeutic potentials of herbal drug ranges from parts of plants, through simple extracts to isolated active constituents. There has been a resurgence of interest on plants and plant derived products as a source of medicine in the last few decades. Herbal products have occupied a major part in curing different human ailments, but what about the quality of those products? Certain of these drugs have been known and are being used by man for many centuries, while others are still being isolated and evaluated. Dealing with natural products, the most vital and potent therapeutic importance is the medicinal plants -- the noun is common, the adjective is common place and their juxtaposition introduces a concept that is not always easy to define, as it is the same for their quality and purity. Herbal drugs have become one of the totems in this era of phytotherapy. the medicinal plants have enormous commercial potentials throughout the globe. Along with the increased interest in herbal medicines, there has been an explosion in the amount of literature on the subject and quality control is of utmost essential in this respect the world over. In the herbal boom world wide, it is estimated that high quality phyto-medicinals will provide safe and effective medication and scientists engaged therein will find this book most useful for their work for providing the necessary information in every respects. This text is intended to present elements of both methods and theoretical backgrounds of different aspects on quality control and standardization of herbal drugs and formulations. More emphasis has been made on classical pharmacognostical and phytochemical approaches dealing with different aspects of quality control and standardization by virtue of new techniques and these have therefore been integrated. As the importance of adequate botanical, chemical and pharmacological evaluation of natural products used in different alternative systems of medicine in becoming increasingly widespread, even "Folk medicine" is being referred to as "Traditional medicine". In this respect, I hope that chemists/scientists will get some new guidelines and approaches on screening, evaluation, quality control and standardization of herbal drugs from different chapters of this book.
