Jaber Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine 1-2

Jaber Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine 1- 2Jaber Al-Qahtani The belief of people in the importance of herbal medicine remains strong and rooted so much so that herbal medicines and animal and mineral derivatives are sold and used in all countries, and because of that, international pharmaceutical companies have paid attention to herbs and plants as an important source of medicines. For example: Glasgow Company - the largest pharmaceutical manufacturing company - examines 13,000 plants every week searching for potentially beneficial components in treatment. From here, the World Health Organization issued its guide in 1992 on organizing herbal medicine. This great development in this industry and people's interest in it has led to increased global attention; therefore, this encyclopedia is comprehensive in purpose in terms of adherence to precise scientific research, ease of style, simplification of information, and clarity of meaning. It also draws attention to the damages resulting from the use of herbs available at herbalists, which do not meet health standards. This encyclopedia consists of two parts: the first discusses diseases and their treatment with medicinal herbs, and the second provides an introduction to those plants, their descriptions, forms, and uses; thus, it is one of the most important encyclopedias that will, God willing, contribute to enriching the Arab library and raising awareness among readers about the optimal use of herbal medicines.
