Dr. Akbar holds an M.D. in Pharmacology of natural products from Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India, and obtained his Ph.D. in Pharmacology from the University of the Pacific, Stockton, California. He served as a Professor of Pharmacology, and has over thirty years of experience in pharmacological research and teaching to medical and pharmacy students. He also served as Director of Pharmacy College Research Center, Qassim University, Saudi Arabia. He has many research papers published in international journals, book chapters on beta-blockers, and books related to natural products and general health.

The current book is an effort to provide detailed reviews of selected plants, especially for their uses in traditional medicines around the world, their updated phytochemical, pharmacological and clinical (if any) research, point out the reasons for variations and discrepancies, and highlight other nuances involved in research on medicinal plants and the obtained results.
