Are you interested in the science of nature-derived drugs and pharmaceuticals? Do you want to learn more about the role of natural sources like plants, fungi, and algae in modern medicine? If so, then “Fundamentals of Pharmacognosy and Phytotherapy” is the perfect book for you.

Authored by Michael Heinrich, Joanne Barnes, Jose Prieto-Garcia, Simon Gibbons, and Elizabeth M. Williamson, this landmark textbook provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of pharmacognosy, exploring the identification, quality assurance, and therapeutic properties of plant-based medicines.

Pharmacognosy, also known as the science of nature-derived drugs, has played a crucial role in the development of modern medicine. It encompasses traditional medicine systems, herbal and nutritional therapies, as well as the production and use of clinically tested herbal medicines. This book delves into the wide range of applications for pharmacognosy, from traditional remedies to potent drugs used in purified forms.

What sets this book apart is its emphasis on evidence-based medicine. The authors present scientific evidence and research on the effectiveness of plant-based medicines for various health conditions. Whether you’re a student in pharmacy, medicine, nursing, or complementary therapies, the information in this textbook is relevant to your field of study.

One of the highlights of this fourth edition is the inclusion of new chapters on antimicrobial natural products and anticancer natural products. The book explores the potential of these natural compounds as antibiotics, antiseptics, and chemopreventive agents. It also discusses their role in modulating bacterial resistance and anti-inflammatory mechanisms.

Furthermore, this edition features a new chapter on pharmacovigilance for herbal medicines and related products. Quality assurance and pharmacopoeial methods have been extended and illustrated with new figures and examples. The book also highlights plant medicines of recent scientific interest, adding a touch of excitement and notoriety to the field.

As an added bonus, purchasing this book grants you access to an enhanced eBook version. With the eBook, you can access the entire text, figures, and references, customize your content, take notes and highlights, and even have the content read aloud.
