Authoritative information
The WHO Monographs on
Selected Medicinal Plants provide scientific information on the safety,
efficacy and quality control of widely-used medicinal plants. This includes
concise summaries of the botanical features
of medicinal plants,
listings of the plants’ major chemical constituents and instructions on how to
ensure quality control of herbal materials derived from the plants.
The Monographs also summarize medicinal use in
three categories: pharmacology; posology; contraindications; and precautions
against potential adverse reactions.
A key reference for
national health authorities, scientists and pharmaceutical companies, they are
also used by lay persons to guide them in rational use of herbal medicines.
