Healing Plants of Nigeria: Ethnomedicine and Therapeutic Applications: Traditional Herbal Medicines for Modern Times
Autor Anselm Adodo, Maurice M. Iwuen Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 ian 2022
The book outlines the history and beliefs surrounding the traditional use of herbs by the local population alongside their application in contemporary phytotherapy in Nigeria and West Africa. It features a critical assessment of the scientific rationale behind the use of these plants in ethnomedicine and offers a composite catalogue of phytotherapeutic and wellness agents, detailing the safety profile, efficacy, and scientific integrity of plants used to treat diseases and optimise health.
Features:
- An ethnobotanical survey containing over 200 full-colour photographs of Nigerian and West African plants.
- A unique combination of ethnobotany and pharmacognosy, bridging the divide between pharmaceutical and community-oriented approaches to herbal medicine research.
- Contextual discussion of the therapeutic potential of Nigerian herbal medicine.
- Offers a template which can be used to separate the superstitious aspects of ethnomedicine from culturally inherited deposits of knowledge.
