Book Description
Medicinal plant materials are supplied through collection from wild populations and cultivation. Under the overall context of quality assurance and control of herbal medicines WHO developed the Guidelines on good agricultural and collection practices (GACP) for medicinal plants providing general technical guidance on obtaining medicinal plant materials of good quality for the sustainable production of herbal products classified as medicines. These guidelines are also related to WHO's work on the protection of medicinal plants aiming promotion of sustainable use and cultivation of medicinal plants. The main objectives of these guidelines are to: (1) contribute to the quality assurance of medicinal plant materials used as the source for herbal medicines to improve the quality safety and efficacy of finished herbal products; (2) guide the formulation of national and/or regional GACP guidelines and GACP monographs for medicinal plants and related standard operating procedures; and (3) encourage and support the sustainable cultivation and collection of medicinal plants of good quality in ways that respect and support the conservation of medicinal plants and the environment in general. These guidelines concern the cultivation and collection of medicinal plants and include certain post-harvest operations. Good agricultural and collection practices for medicinal plants are the first step in quality assurance on which the safety and efficacy of herbal medicinal products directly depend. These practices also play an important role in protection natural resources of medicinal plants for sustainable use.

Book Description
Acknowledgements: In 2005, I was sent in an official capacity to the Arava Institute of Environmental Studies in Kibbutz Ketura, Israel, to conduct research for a short period on how to conserve medicinal plants through cultivation. A project was funded by Dr. Sarah Sallon, Director, the Louis L. Borick Natural Medicine Research Center, Hadassah Medical Organization, Jerusalem, Israel. With the assistance of Dr. Elaine M. Solowey, who is a horticulturalist at the Institute, I drafted a list of endangered medicinal plants based on guidelines given by the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature, 2000 ) and TRAFFIC India (Trade Records Analysis of Flora and Fauna in Commerce, 2000), with supplementary criteria drawn from Tibetan medicine. I started writing and collecting data on the propagation and cultivation of each medicinal plant based on these guidelines and Dr. Solowey’s advice. Due to other pressing official projects, however, this work remained on hold for some years. From 2013, I began to work on the project in earnest and started to writing and collecting data on the propagation and cultivation of each of the selected medicinal plants. This book on endangered medicinal plant cultivation is supposed to be an experimental, trial field guide for the propagation of these species. It is intended for ethno-botanists, environmentalists, herbalists, horticulturists, and practitioners who are interested in creating medicinal plant gardens both in urban and rural areas. The guidelines are mainly based on traditional knowledge, my personal experience and observations and practical experiments performed in the field. The book, “Cultivation and Conservation of Endangered Medicinal Plants {Tibetan Medicinal Plants for Health}” is the first of its kind. A few errors must certainly have crept in, for which I am solely responsible. I would be most grateful to anyone who would be kind enough to point these out, for the improvement of future projects and editions. I would like to give my sincere thanks to the administration of Men-Tsee-Khang for facilitating support for this important project and its successful completion. Special thanks to director of the Men-Tsee-Khang, Mr. Tsering Tashi Phuri, for his encouragement and invaluable support for the project. Dr. Tsewang Tamdin, visiting physician to His Holiness the Dalai Lama for his kind suggestions. My thanks too, to Dr. Tsering Norbu for his kind helpful suggestions. I would like to deeply thank Mrs. Anne for going through and proof-reading the manuscript and for her helpful suggestions, Mr. Gautam Verma, who refined the language, and Mr. Jan van der Valk (John), University of Kent UK. and Mr. Ben Joffe, University of Colorado Boulder, USA for their editorial help and constructive suggestions during their short stay in Dharamsala. I also thank my colleagues in Men-Tsee-Khang for their kind help and support: Ms. Tenzin Kunsang and Mr. Tsering Paljor of computer section, Dr. Norchung and Mrs. Lhamo Kyizom of Doc & Publication Department. I am also thankful to Mr. Ngachung and Ms.Tenzin Kunsang for their helping in designing book and computer setting.

Book Description
From the beginning of human civilization, people have depended on plants to cure disease, promote healing of injuries, and alleviate pain. In many places that has changed very little. In the West, however, herbal and botanical cures have long been ignored in favor of "scientific medicine." But the benefits of medicinal plants are being rediscovered in many developed countries, where consumers are turning to such therapies in place of, and in addition to, Western medical treatments. And, all over the world, the drive to lower the cost of health care has made herbals and botanicals an attractive alternative to more expensive synthetic remedies. In 1978, the World Health Organization responded to increased interest in medicinal plants by convening a series of international consultations, seminars, and symposia to explore and promote the use of medicinal plants. Medicinal Plants presents the proceedings of the last of these symposia, held in 1993. It brings together an vast range of information and presents an overview of the use of medicinal plants that includes a discussion of a variety of issues—scientific, economic, regulatory, agricultural, cultural—focused on the importance of medicinal plants to primary health care and global health care reform.
Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

Book Description
Before the concept of history began, humans undoubtedly acquired life benefits by discovering medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) that were food and medicine. Today, a variety of available herbs and spices are used and enjoyed throughout the world and continue to promote good health. The international market is also quite welcoming for MAPs and essential oils. The increasing environment and nature conscious buyers encourage producers to produce high quality essential oils. These consumer choices lead to growing preference for organic and herbal based products in the world market. As the benefits of medicinal and aromatic plants are recognized, these plants will have a special role for humans in the future. Until last century, the production of botanicals relies to a large degree on wild-collection. However, the increasing commercial collection, largely unmonitored trade, and habitat loss lead to an incomparably growing pressure on plant populations in the wild. Therefore, medicinal and aromatic plants are of high priority for conservation. Given the above, we bring forth a comprehensive volume, “Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Healthcare and Industrial Applications”, highlighting the various healthcare, industrial and pharmaceutical applications that are being used on these immensely important MAPs and its future prospects. This collection of chapters from the different areas dealing with MAPs caters to the need of all those who are working or have interest in the above topic.
