Book excerpt: Homosapiens is the single species on earth which go along with both the biologic and cultural evolution. The development of medicinal plants for its utility as a therapeutics is one of the greatest successes of the human beings. As a result, over the decades, also the utilization of medicinal plant has become a significant part of every one's daily life even though the progress in the modern clinical and pharmaceutical research. The naturally originated medicines will play an essential role in public health care system of every nation. Indian Material Medical contains about 2000 drugs of natural origin of which 400 are minerals and animal oriented, while the rest are of vegetable origin, Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani system 600-700 herbs for medicinal use (Nomani et al., 2013; Dey et al., 2012). Around 3000 plant species are known to have medicinal qualities in India. As per World Health Organisation (WHO) estimation, almost 80% of the population of developing countries relies on traditional medicines, mostly plant drugs, are used for their primary health care needs (Dey et al., 2012). In fact, it is well known that even in developed countries, the use of traditional medicine is quite prevalent. Even, modern pharmacopoeia still it has at least 25% drugs obtained from herbs and several which are synthetic analogues built on prototype compounds isolated from plants. Demand for medicinal plants is growing in all the part of world due to increasing identification of natural products being non-narcotic, having no side effects, easily available at affordable prices and for a time, the single source of health care existing to the poor. The global demand for medicinal plants is increasing at a faster pace. The high cost of modern medicines, their non-availability in remote areas, and most importantly, the serious side effects of certain drugs, have increased the demand for traditional medicine. The global market value of pharmaceuticals derived from genetic resources was estimated at US $75,000-150,000 million annually.

Download or read book Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies written by Lakshmi C. Mishra and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-09-29 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguably the oldest form of health care, Ayurveda is often referred to as the "Mother of All Healing." Although there has been considerable scientific research done in this area during the last 50 years, the results of that research have not been adequately disseminated. Meeting the need for an authoritative, evidence-based reference, Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies is the first book to analyze and synthesize current research supporting Ayurvedic medicine. This book reviews the latest scientific information, evaluates the research data, and presents it in an easy to use format. The editor has carefully selected topics based on the availability of scientific studies and the prevalence of a disease. With contributions from experts in their respective fields, topics include Ayurvedic disease management, panchkarma, Ayurvedic bhasmas, the current status of Ayurveda in India, clinical research design, and evaluation of typical clinical trials of certain diseases, to name just a few. While there are many books devoted to Ayurveda, very few have any in-depth basis in scientific studies. This book provides a critical evaluation of literature, clinical trials, and biochemical and pharmacological studies on major Ayurvedic therapies that demonstrates how they are supported by scientific data. Providing a natural bridge from Ayurveda to Western medicine, Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies facilitates the integration of these therapies by health care providers.
Download or read book Free Radical Reactions in Medicine written by Janos Feher and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to provide a concise review of the medical aspects of free radical reactions. Until now, there have been extensive reviews of the subject in a physiological, pathophysiological and biochemical context. Here, however, the authors concentrate on the biology of free radical reactions as relevant to medical practice, emphasizing that the topic is not just a branch of basic science. Consequently, a short introduction on chemical and biological aspects is followed by a detailed discussion of the role played by free radical reactions in the pathogenesis and development of several human diseases and in therapeutic possibilities. The summary of data from the literature is supplemented by the authors' own experimental results. The presentation will help medical researchers to notice so far unknown connections among several diseases and to make them aware of the existance of the so-called "free radical diseases".
