Book excerpt: Medicine and botany have been inextricably linked since the dawn of humanity as we know it. The use of plants to heal, soothe and cure ailments goes back as far as recorded human history and likely a great deal longer. The roots of both mainstream modern medicine and modern herbalism are planted in the physic garden. Heber Youngken was determined in this book to boil down to the essentials of Pharmaceutical Botany. Those gems of knowledge which would be essential to those students of pharmacy who needed to gain a good grounding of the subject matter fast. Marketed towards first year college students this work will be readily useful to those with even a basic scientific grounding or an enthusiastic amateur botanist or gardener. The first part of the book focuses primarily on the morphology of plants, particularly angiosperms, in both the gross and minute sense. Youngken is commendably thorough in explaining how a plant is composed, the exact appearance and nature of each part of the organism. He explores the purpose and ordinary method of functioning for each element of the plant as well as the deep geological history of plant life and their ecological relationships with surrounding flora and fauna. The taxonomy of plants is explored with a particular emphasis on the medicinal uses and compounds contained within each plant and those which carry characteristics in common across an entire plant genus. In particular he gives practical information about the part of the plant used for an active ingredient in medicine. Pharmaceutical Botany is a valuable piece of information for any budding herbalist, from a treasured part of the German herbal medical tradition.

Book Synopsis A Manual of the Medical Botany of North America (Classic Reprint) by : Laurence Johnson
Download or read book A Manual of the Medical Botany of North America (Classic Reprint) written by Laurence Johnson. This book was released on 2017-09-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of the Medical Botany of North America Botany is the science which treats of the vegetable kingdom. A science so comprehensive, including everything which relates to plants, from the life history of those low organisms on the border line between the animal and the vegetable world to that of the giant oak which endures for centuries, must of necessity be divided for the convenience of students. Accordingly general botany comprises many well-recognized departments one of which, devoted to the history of medicinal plants, is known as medical botany. But medical botany is also a comprehensive science, for the list of plants possessing greater 01 less medicinal activity is long, and the plants are, in many instances, so remote and inaccessible that their study is beset with many difficulties. The obstacles, however, in the way of the student who would acquire a knowledge of the medicinal plants of his own country are neither numerous nor formidable. Especially is this true of the medical botany of North America for though this continent, with its broad extent of territory, varied surface, and extremes of temperature, sup ports an extensive and interesting flora, the number of medicinal species is surprisingly small, and these are so distributed as to be generally accessible.
