herbs Have Been Widely Used For Centuries To Promote Good Health And Treat Disease In Asian Countries. Indeed, The General Population Of Both Eastern And Western Countries Are Beginning To Use Herbs More Frequently. International Health Organizations And Governmental Agencies Such As Who And The U.s. Fda, Respectively, Have Recognized The Consumer Popularity Of Herbal Products. In Response, Scientists Must Recognize The Need To Assure The Efficacy And Safety Of Traditional Herbal Remedies Through Modern Research. Thus, Herbal Products Should Be Continually Researched As The Basis For Development Of Both High Quality Dietary Supplements And New Medicines. This Book Intends To Address Some Of Current Developments In Herbal Research.
