Herbal Drug for the Management of Infectious DiseasesThe book is a comprehensive compilation of herbal drug applications for the treatment and management of infectious diseases and addresses issues related to development, challenges, and future prospects associated with the use of herbal medicine.The use of herbal medicines has evolved in various cultures around the world over many millennia. In many developing Asian and African countries, the use of herbal medicines, as supplied by traditional medicinal practitioners, has always been popular. In the last two to three decades, many people in developed countries have begun to turn to alternative or complementary therapies, including the use of herbal medicines, nutraceuticals, functional foods, and other supplements. This resurgence in interest in plant-derived medicines is partly due to the growing dissatisfaction with allopathic medicines, as well as the perception that plant-derived medicines are natural and therefore pure and without side effects, and the progress in the production of higher quality herbal medicines including some with proven clinical efficacy and safety.Infectious diseases are generally caused by pathogenic microorganisms, like bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi, and are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Therefore, the 16 chapters of this book have been intentionally sequenced to cover the therapeutic potential and applications of herbal extracts and phytochemicals for the management of various infectious diseases. Disease pathophysiology, an overview of current medication or treatment, in-vitro and in-vivo evaluations of relevant biological activities of herbal extracts and phytochemicals, mechanisms of action, clinical trials, and novel technologies for the delivery of herbal bioactive compounds as well as patents have also been included.AudienceChemists, pharmaceutical scientists, biologists, herbal/Ayurvedic/medicinal practitioners, as well all those in the medical sciences working on medicinal plants and infectious diseases.

This book explores the profound impact of medicinal and aromatic plants, tracing their journey from ancient traditions to modern applications. With India boasting the richest diversity of these plants, the text delves into their historical significance and contemporary relevance in drug discovery, culinary arts, and income generation. As the world grapples with severe diseases, these plants have gained renewed attention for their therapeutic potential.The chapters cover a wide range of topics, including the introduction of newly discovered medicinal plants, their distribution, and phytochemistry. The book emphasizes eco-friendly conservation methods for rare and endangered species, and innovative techniques such as microbes-enabled seed coating for improved germination. Readers will discover the diverse applications of phytochemicals in treating non-communicable and infectious diseases, as well as their potential in dermatological and emerging disease treatments. The text also explores the role of green technology in enhancing the production of bioactive compounds through the synthesis of nanoparticles.This volume is an invaluable resource for researchers in environmental studies, microbiology, and related fields. It offers insights for policymakers in environmental and waste management, and for professionals in the food industry, agriculture, and vaccine development. It addresses the intersection of traditional knowledge and modern science, making it a must-read for scholars, practitioners, and interested laypersons alike. By providing a comprehensive overview of the sustainable use of medicinal plants, this book equips readers with the knowledge needed to advance research and practice in this vital area of study.
