| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Herbalism is a traditional medicinal or folk medicine practice based on the use of plants and plant extracts. Herbalism is also known as botanical medicine, medical herbalism, herbal medicine, herbology, and phytotherapy. The scope of herbal medicine is sometimes extended to include fungal and bee products, as well as minerals, shells and certain animal parts. This book studies regional herbal medications including medicinal mushrooms, panchkarma, rasa shastra, kampo herb list, and unani medicine.
