Pharmacopoeial Standards of Herbal Plants (In 2 Volumes)

by C.R. Karnick

The available information concerning drugs and medicinal plants in Europe and India are scattered through a large number of books and periodicals in various languages as well as official documents, which have only a very limited circulation.

The author now presented to the public, have endeavoured to collect and verify this information. British flora and Indian floras have been scrutinised and common plants in usage in Ayurvedic Medicine is recorded. Plant species had been confirmed from local herbia and Kew gardens phytochemical investigations are been carried over a decade by the author. Clinical and toxicity studies have been done.

The entire herbal investigations are the outcome of the study of three major disciplines: phytochemical, botanical and clinical investigations and summarized into pharmacopoel standards after comparisation with European and Indian pharmacopoeia. European herbal flora represents temperate vegetation, while Indian herbal flora of tropical plants. Some plants are common in Europe and India. India is a sub-continent with varied flora both temperate and tropical species. Ayurvedic herbal medicine encompass both the regions and only those species are recorded which could be useful to physicians interested in herbal therapies.
