With the global rise in use of herbal medicine alongside conventional drugs, understanding the interactions between them has become critical to ensuring therapeutic effectiveness and patient safety. Herb-Drug Interactions: A Medicinal Approach integrates traditional knowledge, modern pharmacology, and computational tools to provide a holistic perspective on herb-drug interactions. The book covers the historical evolution of herbal medicine, chemistry and mechanisms of herb-drug interactions, pharmacodynamics in metabolic diseases, and clinical implications. It also explores transport mechanisms, healthcare applications, and advanced computational approaches, including databases and bioinformatics tools. Special attention is given to vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and pregnant women, offering practical clinical insights. By combining mechanistic understanding with real-world applications, the book serves as both a reference and a guide for advancing safe, evidence-based integrative healthcare. Key Features - Integrates traditional herbal knowledge with modern pharmacology and computational approaches. - Explains mechanisms, pharmacodynamics, and clinical implications of herb-drug interactions. - Highlights therapeutic potential, drug-herb synergy, and safety considerations. - Focuses on vulnerable populations: paediatrics, geriatrics, and pregnancy. - Provides practical guidance for evidence-based integrative healthcare.
