This new book provides a wealth of information on plants in the Lamiaceae family, noted for their essential oils and bioactives and pharmacological properties. The chapters investigate a wide variety of species, providing for each an introduction, characteristics, properties, distribution, traditional uses, and current and potential pharmacological applications.
Aiming to be a resource for the development of new drugs based on species within the Lamiaceae family, the volume discusses 26 species, including bungleweed (Ajuga), Malabar catmint (Anisomeles malabarica), beechwood (Gmelina arborea), Brazilian mint (Hyptis crenata), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum), and many more.
Edited by the noted botanist T. Pullaiah, PhD, this new volume under his AAP Focus on Medicinal Plants book series, will be a valuable reference for those in drug discovery, botany, and fragrance chemistry.
