10 Years of Ethnopharmacology

The contributions selected for this ebook span the entire ten-year period and we have selected examples which have had a particular impact on the debates in the field. Broadly speaking, they fall into four main areas:

- Overarching reviews within ethnopharmacology
- Reviews of specific species or other taxa regarding their pharmacology; phytochemistry and local / traditional use
- Assessments of the pharmacological evidence for specific active compounds or classes of compounds
- Assessments of the safety and potential risks of herbal substances.


With these themes, this eBook contributes to the debate about the evidence- base of such practices incorporating both the scientific evidence available and the local / traditional concepts associated with their use.
