Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references
This book highlights the common ground between biomedicine and traditional healing,
providing written and photographic documentation of some of the medicinal plant knowledge
held by the people of Laos. Translating and validating some of the power of traditional
medicine used in Laos into biomedical terms through laboratory analyses may serve
to demonstrate its importance in a global language. In this text, the translational
research was performed through in vitro laboratory analyses of select plant species
with a history to treat symptoms of TB. The processes of plant collection, extraction,
biological assays, and isolation/elucidation are also described and detailed in the
Biochemical Validation section. The biomedical discoveries explored in the book stress
the importance of conserving and sustaining our natural ecosystems for medicinal preservation
and utilization
