Description: About this productProduct InformationThe consumption of herbal products continues to increase, with an estimated sales growth of 10-15% per year projected through the end of the 1990s. As more and more consumers use herbs, it becomes that much more important to ensure that the herbs are used properly and safely. While herbs generally have a safe consumption history, information relevant to specific herbs and particular populations has not been easily available. The Botanical Safety Handbook provides readily accessible safety data in an easy-to-use classification system for more than 600 commonly sold herbs. The handbook also features additional information regarding international regulatory status, standard dosage, and certain common toxicity concerns. The editors of this book are among the most respected leaders in the herbal products industry. Their experience includes years of clinical practice, manufacturing and industry governance, and significant writing and lecturing about herbs. The Botanical Safety Handbook is for manufacturers of herbal products, health professionals who prescribe herbal remedies, and the consumer. This is a valuable resource for the safe dispensation of herbal products, and will help ensure the safe consumption of herbs through the 1990s and beyond.Product IdentifiersPublisherCRC Press LLCISBN-100849316758ISBN-139780849316753eBay Product ID (ePID)503396Product Key FeaturesAuthorAmerican Herbal Products Association StaffPublication NameBotanical Safety Handbook : Guidelines for the Safe Use and Labeling for Herbs in CommerceFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishPublication Year1997TypeTextbookNumber of Pages256 PagesDimensionsItem Length9.5in.Item Height0.7in.Item Width6.4in.Item Weight16.8 OzAdditional Product FeaturesLc Classification NumberRa1250.A44 1997Table of ContentIntroduction Safety Monographs, Alphabetized by Latin Binomial Appendix 1: Herbal Constituent Profiles Aristolochic Acid Atrophine b-Asarone Berberine Cardiac Glycosides Cyanogenic Glycosides Estragole Iodine Lectins Oxalates Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids Safrole Salicylates Tannins Thujone Appendix 2: Herbal Action Profiles Abortifacients Bulk-Forming Laxatives Emetics Emmenagogues/Uterine Stimulants GI Irritants MAO Interaction Nervous System Stimulants Photosensitizing Stimulant Laxatives Appendix 3: Herb Listings by Classification Herbs for External Use Only (Class 2a) Herbs Not to be Used in Pregnancy (Class 2b) Herbs Not to be Used While Breastfeeding (Class 2c) Herbs Not to be Used Without Expert Supervision (Class 3) Primary References Bibliography Plant IndexCopyright Date1997Target AudienceScholarly & ProfessionalTopicHerbs, Life Sciences / Botany, Naturopathy, Herbal MedicationsLccn97-017162Dewey Decimal615/.321Dewey Edition21GenreGardening, Health & Fitness, Science
