This book was released on 2020-07-20 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicinal plants are globally valuable sources of herbal products. Plant-based remedies have been used for centuries and have had no alternative in the western medicine repertoire, while others and their bioactive derivatives are in high demand and have been the central focus of biomedical research. As Medicinal plants move from fringe to mainstream with a greater number of individuals seeking treatments free of side effects, considerable attention has been paid to utilize plant-based products for the prevention and cure of human diseases. An unintended consequence of this increased demand, however, is that the existence of many medicinal plants is now threatened, due to their small population size, narrow distribution area, habitat specificity, and destructive mode of harvesting. In addition, climate change, habitat loss and genetic drift have further endangered these unique species. Although extensive research has been carried out on medicinal and aromatic plants, there is relatively little information available on their global distribution patterns, conservation and the associated laws prevailing. This book reviews the current status of threatened medicinal plants in light of increased surge in the demand for herbal medicine. It brings together chapters on both wild (non-cultivated) and domestic (cultivated) species having therapeutic values. Thematically, conventional and contemporary approaches to conservation of such threatened medicinal plants with commercial feasibility are presented. The topics of interest include, but not limited to, biotechnology, sustainable development, in situ and ex situ conservation, and even the relevance of IPR on threatened medicinal plants. We believe this book is useful to horticulturists, botanists, policy makers, conservationists, NGOs and researchers in the academia and the industry sectors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicinal plant research is an evergreen subject. There is a tremendous increase in popularity of herbal medicine in traditional medicine, ethnomedicine, modern medicine and as over the counter food supplements. Even after this increased demand, supply is neither uniform nor assured as most of these plants are collected from wild. In developing countries of tropical and subtropical regions where majority of herbal drugs are produced, this is not organised sector making it vulnerable to several malpractices, hence standardization of all aspects required. This has also negative impact on biodiversity and conservation of plants as well as supply of uniform material. This book is aimed to provide up to date information about sustainable use of selected medicinal plants, their active ingredients and efforts made to domesticate them to ensured uniform supply. Development of agrotechnology, biotechnology and cultivation practices using conventional and non-conventional methods are presented. Where these efforts will lead the medicinal plant research and future perspective are discussed. The chapters are written by well recognised group leaders in working in the field. The book contains topics on general biology of medicinal plants, their sustainable use and, cultivation and domestication efforts. A uniform chapter structure has been designed to keep consistency. The book will be useful for academicians, agriculturists, biotechnologists and researcher, and industries involved in manufacturing herbal drugs and supplementary products.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an endeavour of the author to present a vast quantity of fact-based reliable analytical data on the Status (density and frequency etc) of medicinal plants of India in his book. His inferences have the basis of field-based study on Status of plants the findings of which nullifies much bloated assertions of the experts on pharmacopoeia and of the pharmacologists that India was still a rich store house of medicinal plant resources; Their findings were never based on analytical (quantitative) data, besides that the systematic botanists have only prepared check lists of plants with morphological descriptions but never mentioned about regeneration an on their status (density, frequency, abundance etc). So the floras do not speak of status-abundance or decay of various species. The exception was with the foresters who prepared status lists commercial tree species; with the formation of Forest Survey of India the country had adequate status data on commercial tree species of the entire country. There has been a big lacunae on the status assessment of herbs, shrubs and climbers which form substantial number of medicinal plants. While making his assessment the author has applied his long years of field inventory experience and findings to arrive at a dependable figures. He has stressed that there has been continuous depletion of vegetation brought by various biotic and abiotic factors well displayed in a number of charts and maps. The authors has marked the status of species of plants prepared by Chopra, Kirtikar and Bose, S Bhattacharya. He has also given an outline information of drug plants, export, import, threats and cultivation. The author desires that it was time to enforce strict conservation measures of flora besides inventory made on herbs, shrubs, climbers on medicinal plants. On the whole the book gives a broad outline of the present status of medicinal plants and some information associated with it.

This book was released on 2016-03-19 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acknowledgements: In 2005, I was sent in an official capacity to the Arava Institute of Environmental Studies in Kibbutz Ketura, Israel, to conduct research for a short period on how to conserve medicinal plants through cultivation. A project was funded by Dr. Sarah Sallon, Director, the Louis L. Borick Natural Medicine Research Center, Hadassah Medical Organization, Jerusalem, Israel. With the assistance of Dr. Elaine M. Solowey, who is a horticulturalist at the Institute, I drafted a list of endangered medicinal plants based on guidelines given by the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature, 2000 ) and TRAFFIC India (Trade Records Analysis of Flora and Fauna in Commerce, 2000), with supplementary criteria drawn from Tibetan medicine. I started writing and collecting data on the propagation and cultivation of each medicinal plant based on these guidelines and Dr. Solowey’s advice. Due to other pressing official projects, however, this work remained on hold for some years. From 2013, I began to work on the project in earnest and started to writing and collecting data on the propagation and cultivation of each of the selected medicinal plants. This book on endangered medicinal plant cultivation is supposed to be an experimental, trial field guide for the propagation of these species. It is intended for ethno-botanists, environmentalists, herbalists, horticulturists, and practitioners who are interested in creating medicinal plant gardens both in urban and rural areas. The guidelines are mainly based on traditional knowledge, my personal experience and observations and practical experiments performed in the field. The book, “Cultivation and Conservation of Endangered Medicinal Plants {Tibetan Medicinal Plants for Health}” is the first of its kind. A few errors must certainly have crept in, for which I am solely responsible. I would be most grateful to anyone who would be kind enough to point these out, for the improvement of future projects and editions. I would like to give my sincere thanks to the administration of Men-Tsee-Khang for facilitating support for this important project and its successful completion. Special thanks to director of the Men-Tsee-Khang, Mr. Tsering Tashi Phuri, for his encouragement and invaluable support for the project. Dr. Tsewang Tamdin, visiting physician to His Holiness the Dalai Lama for his kind suggestions. My thanks too, to Dr. Tsering Norbu for his kind helpful suggestions. I would like to deeply thank Mrs. Anne for going through and proof-reading the manuscript and for her helpful suggestions, Mr. Gautam Verma, who refined the language, and Mr. Jan van der Valk (John), University of Kent UK. and Mr. Ben Joffe, University of Colorado Boulder, USA for their editorial help and constructive suggestions during their short stay in Dharamsala. I also thank my colleagues in Men-Tsee-Khang for their kind help and support: Ms. Tenzin Kunsang and Mr. Tsering Paljor of computer section, Dr. Norchung and Mrs. Lhamo Kyizom of Doc & Publication Department. I am also thankful to Mr. Ngachung and Ms.Tenzin Kunsang for their helping in designing book and computer setting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the beginning of human civilization, people have depended on plants to cure disease, promote healing of injuries, and alleviate pain. In many places that has changed very little. In the West, however, herbal and botanical cures have long been ignored in favor of "scientific medicine." But the benefits of medicinal plants are being rediscovered in many developed countries, where consumers are turning to such therapies in place of, and in addition to, Western medical treatments. And, all over the world, the drive to lower the cost of health care has made herbals and botanicals an attractive alternative to more expensive synthetic remedies. In 1978, the World Health Organization responded to increased interest in medicinal plants by convening a series of international consultations, seminars, and symposia to explore and promote the use of medicinal plants. Medicinal Plants presents the proceedings of the last of these symposia, held in 1993. It brings together an vast range of information and presents an overview of the use of medicinal plants that includes a discussion of a variety of issues—scientific, economic, regulatory, agricultural, cultural—focused on the importance of medicinal plants to primary health care and global health care reform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly all cultures, from ancient times to today, have used plants as a source of medicine. In many developing countries, traditional medicine is still the mainstay of health care and most of the drugs and cures used come from plants. In developed countries many people are turning to herbal remedies. With this widespread use has come the assumption that plants identified as having medicinal qualities will be available on a continuing basis. However no concerted effort has been made to ensure this and in the face of the threats of increasing demand, a vastly increasing human population and extensive forest destruction, there can be no guarantee that we will continue to benefit indefinitely from this valuable resource. In light of this situation the World Health Organisation held a meeting in 1988. This book is the outcome of that meeting, detailing in a series of papers by leading experts the problems of which need to be addressed, the existing experiences from a range of countries and the future direction which must be taken to ensure the conservation of the world's medicinal plants.
