Reseña del libro "Ancient and Traditional Foods, Plants, Herbs and Spices Used in the Middle East (Ancient and Traditional Foods, Herbs, and Spices in Human Health) (en Inglés)"
The use of different foods, herbs, and spices to treat or prevent disease has been recorded for thousands of years. Egyptian papyrus, hieroglyphics and ancient texts from the Middle East have described the cultivation and preparations of herbs and botanicals to "cure the sick." There are even older records from China and India. Some ancient scripts describe the use of medicinal plants which have never been seen within European cultures. Indeed, all ancient civilizations have pictorial records of different foods, herbs, and spices being used for medical purposes. However, there are fundamental questions and issues pertaining to the scientific evidence for the use of these agents or their extracts in modern medicine. These issues are explored in Ancient and Traditional Foods, Plants, Herbs and Spices used in the Middle East.Features- Describes uses and applications of plant-based materials from different countries of the Middle East. - Each chapter has unique cross references to foods, herbs, spices and botanicals- Bridges molecular biology, physiology and medical sciences- Coverage includes herbal medicines, supplements, lifestyle patterns, nutrition, and plant-based diets - Each chapter describes usage and applications of traditional foods and botanicals; historical background; toxicity; cautionary notes; and summary pointsThere have been considerable advances in scientific techniques over the last few decades.
