Fundamentals of Pharmacognosy and
Phytotherapy E-Book 3rd Edition
Pharmacognosy (the science of
biogenic or nature-derived
pharmaceuticals and poisons) has
been an established basic
pharmaceutical science taught in
institutions of pharmacy education
for over two centuries. Over the
past 20 years though it has become
increasingly important given the
explosion of new drugs,
phytomedicines (plant medicines),
nutraceuticals and dietary
supplements – all of which need to
be fully understood, tested and
regulated.
From a review of the
previous edition:
'Drawing on
their wealth of experience and
knowledge in this field, the
authors, who are without doubt among
the finest minds in pharmacognosy
today, provide useful and
fascinating insights into the
history, botany, chemistry,
phytotherapy and importance of
medicinal plants in some of today's
healthcare systems. This is a
landmark textbook, which carefully
brings together relevant data from
numerous sources and provides, in an
authoritative and exhaustive manner,
cutting-edge information that is
relevant to pharmacists,
pharmacognocists, complementary
practitioners, doctors and nurses
alike.' The Pharmaceutical Journal
This is an excellent text book which
provides fascinating insights into
the world of pharmacognosy and the
authors masterfully integrated
elements of orthodox pharmacognosy
and phytotherapy. Both the science
student and the non-scientific
person interested in phytotherapy
will greatly benefit from reading
this publication. It is
comprehensive, easy to follow and
after having read this book, one is
so much more aware of the uniqueness
of phytomedicines. A must read for
any healthcare practitioner.'
