The first book in English on the medicinal plants of Europe, this volume contains up-to-date summaries by leading researchers on the pharmacological effects and active compounds for many widely used medicinal plants. It includes discussions of the German Commission E Monographs, of legalissues associated with selling herbs in the U.S., and of the status of European phytomedicines.
