Jaber Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine 3- 4

Jaber Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine 3-4 Jaber Al-Qahtani The belief of people in the importance of herbal medicine remains strong and rooted, so you find herbal medicines and animal and mineral derivatives sold and used in all countries. Due to this, 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 for treatment. From here, the World Health Organization issued its guide in 1992 on regulating herbal medicine. This great development in this industry and the global interest in it has led to increased worldwide attention; therefore, this encyclopedia is comprehensive in its purpose, adhering to precise scientific research, easy style, simplifying information, and clarifying meaning. It also draws attention to the damages resulting from using 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. Therefore, it is one of the most important encyclopedias that will contribute — God willing — to enriching the Arab library and raising awareness among readers about the proper use of herbal medicines.
