The book aims towards providing the basic and fundamental information
to the students and practitioners with a wide-ranging, accessible overview
of the discipline. Suitable for courses in environmental, pharmacological,
medical, pharmaceutical and veterinary toxicology. It provides
information on the vast herbal and natural medicinal treasure available to
us derived from plants, herbs and fruits obtained from traditional
agricultural practices. We thank all the contributors/experts for timely
submission of their excellent contributions and for their overall
cooperation. We also thank many leading scientists in this field who may
not contributed directly, but have encouraged or guided us towards
successful completion of this project.
