Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHY HERBS IN OUR DIET...' THE BENEFITS OF HERBS ARE ENDLESS. IN FACT, HERBS ARE MEDICINES IN SMALLER DOSAGES Herbs contain a host of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, essential oils and phyto-sterols that help to armor our body to fight against germs, protect against toxins, and boost our immune system. Various volatile oils, vitamins and antioxidants found in herbs are said to have cytotoxicity action against colon, prostate, pancreatic and endometrial cancer cells. Herbs have been shown to contain unique compounds that reduce blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. In addition, they can decrease total cholesterol as well as blood pressure therefore preventing against heart disease and stroke. Other chemical compounds in herbs have stimulant, analgesic, diaphoretic, carminative, aphrodisiac, digestive, lipolytic (weight loss) and deodorant action when taken in appropriate doses. Herbs have been found to have an anti-inflammatory effect due to the presence of essential oils they contain; they inhibit the the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX) which is responsible for mediating the inflammatory cascade in the body. This means that herbs can potentially relive symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ulcerative colitis and many more anti-inflammatory disorders. The medicinal use of herbs and other parts of plants predates Western medicine and most of the other healing traditions, such as Chinese and Indian medicine. Medicinal plants were and are frequently used to treat both acute and chronic conditions in Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, and surprisingly similar plant remedies have been used by native North and South American practitioners. Herbal medicine entered Western medical history around the time of Hippocrates, and herbs were used from the 5th century BCE on, not only to alleviate the manifestations of a particular disease but to balance the basic types of body fluids or humors and to strengthen the body's inherent resistance to disease and stimulate its restorative capacity once illness started.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pengelly's user friendly text will encourage educators in medical science to consider using this material in the complementary medicine/nutraceuticals areas May I congratulate Andrew Pengelly for writing this text as it is going to be very popular with undergraduate students as well as more experienced readers.' D. Green, London Metropolitan University, UK This unique book explains in simple terms the commonly occurring chemical constituents of medicinal plants. The major classes of plant constituents such as phenols, terpenes and polysaccharides, are described both in terms of their chemical structures and their pharmacological activities. Identifying specific chemical compounds provides insights into traditional and clinical use of these herbs, as well as potential for adverse reactions. Features include: * Over 100 diagrams of chemical structures * References to original research studies and clinical trials * References to plants commonly used throughout Europe, North America and Australasia. Written by an experienced herbal practitioner, The Constituents of Medicinal Plants seriously challenges any suggestion that herbal medicine remains untested and unproven, including as it does hundreds of references to original research studies and trials. Designed as an undergraduate text, the first edition of this book became an essential desktop reference for health practitioners, lecturers, researchers, producers and anyone with an interest in how medicinal herbs work. This edition has been extensively revised to incorporate up-to-date research and additional sections, including an expanded introduction to plant molecular structures, and is destined to become a classic in the literature of herbal medicine.
