Preface
As a biologist with the US Food and Drug Administration I have been involved in toxicological research. On one occasion, while investigating herbal products sold in the United States as foods or food supplements, I realized that there was an abundance of information on plants that are commonly used as food and medicine. However, the material available was not compiled to optimally serve my interest. Most such books addressed the subject as folklore, and their information was not prepared as an educational resource on plant materials that are used as foods and food supplements by the general public. As a result, to obtain a fair knowledge of any specific plant, information from several books and journal articles had to be put together. It is this experience that guided me to compile Medicinal Plants of the World.
No current text describes the traditional medicinal uses, the chemical constituents, the pharmacological activities, and the clinical trials of those plants that are commonly used around the world as medicine. The objectives that guided the writing of this book were to create a reference for research scientists, phytochemists, toxicologists, physicians, pharmacists, and other health care providers; to integrate traditional and modern pharmacopoeias in order to develop a more efficient medicine; to build confidence and self-reliance in the use of medicinal plants; to revive an awareness of the importance of plants as sources of medicine; and to encourage their utilization and conservation.
Around the world, and even within countries, different names are used for the same plant, and different plants may be referred to by the same name. In an effort to familiarize readers with the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature system, the code's Latin binomial is used for each plant. The common names, together with the countries with which they are associated, are also listed. Color illustrations of the plants are provided to assist in their identification by those who are not familiar with the botanical name nor any of the common names. For the nonbotanist, the chapter on nomenclature and descriptive terminology, the botanical description, and the origin and distribution of each plant will be useful in the practical identification of the plants.
