About the book

Plants have been used medicinally for thousands of years for their healing properties, and are the origins of many pharmaceutical drugs. Where single chemically-derived drugs may only address a single problem, botanical medicines are able to address a variety of problems simultaneously. Their organic nature makes botanicals compatible with the body’s own chemistry; hence, they can be gently effective with few toxic side effects. Herbs and spices have a long history of both culinary and medicinal uses. Herbs and spices are integral part of daily diet.

The book is certainly useful for scholars, researchers, teachers and scientists of variable interests such as botany, forestry, plant physiology, biotechnology, agriculture, plant breeding, agronomy and horticultures.
