Handbook of African Medicinal Plants

About this book

A comprehensive review of over 2,000 species of plants employed in indigenous African medicine, this book provides a concise description of the materia medica of an enormous and extensively varied continent. It includes a detailed pharmacognostical profile of 170 of the major herbs, including the common name, synonyms, African names, habitat and distribution, medicinal uses, chemical constituents, and published pharmacologic activity. The profiles are presented in both alphabetic order and according to family. The book also provides an introduction to African traditional medicine.
