In the old paradigm of classical botanical pharmacognosy, it is the quality of the plant, the environment in which it grew, and its myriad of compounds and actions that is of utmost importance and most appropriate in the development of traditional herbal medicines from those that people all over the world depend on. You may also check : Pharmacopoeia Books. In stark opposition, in modern pharmacognosy, it is the almost exclusive emphasis on the isolation of chemical compounds and the specificity of an action that is of central importance for the discovery and development of modern drugs, predominantly for commercial purposes.
This text was developed due to the need for an assessment of botanical quality, which is why a distinction is made between classical and modern botanical pharmacognosy. Our work in developing microscopic characterizations for AHP monographs as a fundamental proof of identity has underscored the value and importance of microscopy as a quality assessment tool. Thus, we embarked on this project as our way of helping to preserve and revitalize this scientific discipline.
There were suggestions to take some of our old out-of-print microscopy texts and put them into circulation once more. Botanical Microscopy Atlas Achillea millefolium L. Aconitum carmichaeli Debx.

The African Herbal Pharmacopoeia AfrHP provides comprehensive, up to date botanical, commercial and phytochemical information on over fifty of the most important African medicinal plants. The technical data were made on plant samples sourced from across the continent.
These monographs prepared by leading African scientists, have been reviewed by international experts. Additional data includes micro morphology of the plant material, distribution maps and TLC Chromatograms. These data are crucial for producers, collectors and traders in medicinal plants and extracts as well as researchers, manufacturers and practitioners.
The scope, quality and standard of these herbal monographs are comparable to those prepared in Europe, North America and Asia. Whilst this is the very first edition, it is being proposed to proceed to a second edition, quickly, as more plant species will be covered.
Access to accurate, evidence-based, and clinically relevant information is essential to anyone who uses or recommends herbal products. The book covers more than species of herbs and provides a holistic understanding of safety through data compiled from clinical trials, pharmacological and toxicological studies, medical case reports, and historical texts.
For each species, a brief safety summary is provided for quick reference, along with a detailed review of the literature. Easily understood classification systems are used to indicate the safety of each listed species and the potential for the species to interact with drugs. Enhancements to the Second Edition include: Classification of each herb with both a safety rating and a drug interaction rating More references listed for each individual herb, vetted for accuracy Specific information on adverse events reported in clinical trials or case reports Safety-related pharmacology and pharmacokinetics of each herb, including drug interactions Additional information on the use of herbs by pregnant or lactating women Toxicological studies and data on toxic compounds Representing the core of the botanical trade and comprising the finest growers, processors, manufacturers, and marketers of herbal products, the mission of the AHPA is to promote the responsible commerce of herbal products.
The book will be a valuable reference for product manufacturers, healthcare practitioners, regulatory agencies, researchers, and consumers of herbal products. Skip to content. American Herbal Pharmacopoeia. American Herbal Pharmacopoeia Book Review:. Author : Josef A. Duke Award for Excellence in Botanical Literature Award from the American Botanical Council Compiled by the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia R , this volume addresses the lack of authoritative microscopic descriptions of those medicinal plant species currently in trade.
It includes an atlas providing detailed text and graphic descriptions of more than medicinal plant species and their adulterants. Designed to meet the needs of the herbal products industry, regulatory agencies, and academic researchers, the book covers plant anatomy at a level appropriate for the pharmacognostic analysis of plant tissues, provides extensive coverage of the history and importance of botanical microscopy, and gives instruction on how to set up a microscopy lab and prepare, view, and archive whole and powdered plant parts for microscopic analysis.
The botanicals covered represent 90 percent of the dollar value of botanical sales in the United States.
