El-Shemy Y1 - 2017-03-15 PY - 2017 T1 - Culture, History and Applications of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants in Japan N2 - This book covers interesting research topics and the use of natural resources for medical treatments in some severe diseases. The most important message is to have native foods which contain high amount of active compounds that can be used as a medicinal plant. Most pharmaceutical drugs were discovered from plants, and still ongoing research will have to predict such new active compounds as anti-diseases. I do believe this book will add significant knowledge to medical societies as well as can be used for postgraduate students.
