Therapeutic Potential of Medicinal Plants: The Science Behind Natural Remedies, investigates the bioactive compounds and functionality of medicinal plants and herbs which are recommended to help certain health conditions and overall well-being while highlighting cultivation that can be done sustainably to promote biodiversity conservation. Written by over 50 experts in the fields of nutrition, organic food, fertility, phytopharmacology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, plant botanicals, and herbal medicine, “Therapeutic Potential of Medicinal Plants: The Science Behind Natural Remedies,” introduces readers to the the chemical composition of over 75 plants, herbs, grains and seeds while highlighting their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects to improve overall well being and manage certain conditions such as diabetes, osteoarthritis, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Bioactive compounds, essential oils and phytochemicals in certain plants and marine compounds are reviewed for their efficacy to help improve gynecological health, alleviate menopausal symptoms and lower blood pressure.
