Phytoadaptogenic Properties of Medicinal Plants
About this book
Featuring traditional knowledge, the book Phytoadaptogenic Properties of Medicinal Plants offers an insight into diverse medicinal plants with their inherent phytotherapeutic characteristics. Since the prehistoric era, botanicals have been enlisted at the uppermost ladder in the survival of human existence. Though modern medicinal systems remain vital, at times of challenges or pandemics botanicals continue to serve as front liners, supporting people's health and well-being by regulating the body's inherent five defense systems such as angiogenesis, regeneration, DNA and epigenetics, microbiome, and immune system.
The medicinal plants function as phytoadaptogens due to their intrinsic ability to modulate stress, depressive-like behaviors, and other comorbidities. The inherent plant bioactive constituents and essential nutrients are warriors in combating health challenges and illnesses. They work extraordinarily beyond providing nutrition.
Key Features:
· Covering traditional medicinal plants with emphasis on phytoadaptogenic properties, bioactive constituents, dosage, mechanism of action, etc.
· Scrutinizing the inherent ability of botanicals in managing stress, cognitive health, immune modulation, and associated disorders.
· Highlighting "how to cater medicinal plants into food pyramid to achieve balanced diet" by providing preparation methods for herbal products, functional foods, and nutraceuticals.
· Key insights on regulatory framework, safety, risk analysis, and market trends of herbal products.
Indeed, this book could bridge the industry-academia gap by amalgamating scientific investigations with practical applications, highlighting the regulatory aspects, dosage, adverse effects, and available herbal products, and could be a good guide for researchers, healthcare professionals, herbalists, and other academicians.
