African Traditional Medicine: A Catalyst for Health Innovations

Despite the relevance and empirical evidence of African Traditional Medicine, based on African Indigenous Medical Knowledge (AIMK), the research and development of new phytomedicines from this continent has been slow. However, African Indigenous Medical Knowledge and Human Health aims to provide a catalyst for health innovations based on the rich African biodiversity and AIMK.

This book documents some of the success stories from the continent related to AIMK and serves as a one-step reference for all professionals interested in the research and development of medical interventions – including pharmacognosists, ethnobiologists, botanists, phytochemists, pharmacologists, and medical scientists.
