Download or read book Pr sentation et prise en charge en aromath rapie de dix affections dermatologiques rencontr es l officine written by Ninon Wenzel and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le pharmacien d'officine est quotidiennement sollicité pour des conseils sur des affections dermatologiques ; il se doit ainsi de connaître leurs caractéristiques et leur prise en charge. Les huiles essentielles peuvent faire partie de la thérapeutique, que ce soit de façon alternative ou complémentaire aux traitements médicamenteux classiques. Une grande partie des huiles essentielles ne sont pas réservées au monopôle pharmaceutique, et, par conséquent, peuvent être vendues sans le conseil d'un professionnel de santé. Le pharmacien devient ainsi le garant de la délivrance d'huiles essentielles de qualité officinale et de conseils adaptés à la pratique de l'aromathérapie.Néanmoins, les huiles essentielles, bien que naturelles, ne sont pas des produits anodins, et leur toxicité est réelle. Leur utilisation doit donc être entourée de précautions que le pharmacien d'officine se doit de maîtriser. A l'officine, elles représentent une alternative efficace et sûre, si elles sont bien employées, dans le traitement de plusieurs pathologies courantes et bénignes. Les fiches-conseils présentées dans ce travail ont pour but d'accompagner le pharmacien et son équipe dans l'utilisation des huiles essentielles au quotidien.

Download or read book Unidentified written by Robert Salas and published by Career Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1969 the U.S. Air Force issued a statement that read' "No UFO reported, investigated and evaluated by the Air Force was ever an indication of threat to our national security." This statement is patently false. It has been proven untrue by the testimony of many military officers and airmen and documentation of incidents involving UFOs and nuclear weapons, testimonies of which the U.S. Air Force was fully aware. Unidentified details many of these testimonies, some for the first time. As partial justification for its position, the Air Force cites a University of Colorado study that was contracted and paid for by federal funds. Unidentified reveals how this study was actually just another part of the plan to cover up the reality of the UFO phenomenon. For the first time, Unidentified publishes evidence that the investigators for the Colorado study knew about the UFO-related missile shutdown incidents but did not investigate them or include them in their final report.

Download or read book Ethnopharmacology of Medicinal Plants written by Christophe Wiart and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-11-04 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1860, Oliver Wendell Holmes pointedly expressed himself to the Massachusetts Medical Society: “I firmly believe that if the whole Material Medica, as now used, could be sunk to the bottom of the sea, it would be all the better for mankind, and all the worst for the fishes.” Should one think the same about the current approach in drug discovery from plants? Probably yes. Despite the spending of billions of US dollars, and three decades of efforts, high-throughput screenings have only allowed the discovery of a couple of drugs. One could have reasonably expected the discovery of an arsenal of drugs from the millions of plant extracts randomly tested, but “hits” can be inactive in vitro or too toxic, some molecules need to be metabolized first to be active, and false-positive and false-negative results are common. The bitter truth is that the robotic approach in discovering drugs from plants has proven, to date, its inability to excavate the hundreds of molecules that will contribute to the health progress of Man. However, one can reasonably see that the last patches of primary rainforest on earth hold still hundreds of spectacularly active drugs that await discovery.
