HERBS
Medicinal plants and herbs contain substances known to modem and ancient civilizations for their healing properties. Until the development of Chemistry and, particularly, of the synthesis of organic compounds in the 19th century, medicinal plants and herbs were the sole source of active principles capable of curing man’s ailments. They continue to be important to people that do not have access to modem medicines and, moreover, modem Pharmaceuticals rely heavily on the same active principles, be they natural or synthetic. The active principles differ from plant to plant due to their biodiversity, i.e. to the plant’s genetic coding ability to produce them.
With thousands of active principles yet to be discovered or fully evaluated, it is no wonder that biodiversity is a fundamental topic on any nature preservation agenda. The genetic material of old and new herbs and plants are coveted for their potential in discovering, combining, manipulating and synthesizing new medicine. Thus, even if people are not aware of the pharmaceutical industry does not stress the point, medicinal plants and herbs continue to be the source of proven medicaments and of new and revolutionary drugs. If the active principles of synthetic drugs are so important and can be found in many plants and herbs, cheaply and easily bought at your home market or Herbalist, why not use them? If taken in the appropriate dose and form, they can be as effective as pharmaceutical drugs.
The chemistry of herbs is subtle and complex, all herbs being very powerful chemical factories. The main active constituents fall into eight main groups: acids; carbohydrates; phenols; volatile (essential) oils; saponins; glycosides; bitters and alkaloids.
