Globalization in the context of drug development has increased the use of natural products worldwide. The trends in use of herbal medicine in therapeutics is becoming more popular and is still open to fascinating realms of research. 'Evidence-Based Validation of Herbal Medicines' brings together current thinking and practice in the areas of characterization and validation of natural products. This book describes different approaches and techniques for evaluating the quality, safety and efficacy of herbal medicine, particularly methods to assess their activity and understand the compounds responsible and their probable underlying mechanisms of action, which improve the level of understanding of various aspects on evaluation of natural products. This book is an effort to bring together the views, expertise and experiences of scientific experts in the field of medicinal plant research. This will be useful for the researcher to know more about the natural lead with their validation and also useful to exploit traditional medicines, leading to discovery and development of newer drugs through translational research with cutting edge technologies on natural remedies. This book will be an essential reading for the researchers whose professional life impinges on the use of natural resources. Includes state-of-the-art methods for detecting, isolating, and performing structure elucidation by degradation and spectroscopic techniques Highlights the trends in validation and value addition of herbal medicine with different scientific approaches used in therapeutics Contains several all-new chapters on topics such as traditional-medicine-inspired drug development to treat emerging viral diseases, medicinal plants in antimicrobial resistance, TLC bio profiling, botanicals as medicinal foods, bioprospecting and bioassay-guided isolation of medicinal plants, immunomodulators from medicinal plants, and more
