Herbal Medicine - Open-Access-Articles
Herbal
medicine is also called botanical
medicine or phytomedicine. It is refers to using a plant's seeds, berries, roots, leaves, bark, or flowers for medicinal purposes. Herbalism has a long tradition of use outside of conventional medicine. It is becoming more mainstream as improvements in analysis and quality control along with advances in clinical research show the value of
herbal medicine in the treating and preventing disease. Plants had been used for medicinal purposes long before recorded history. Ayurveda is a medical system primarily practised in India that has been known for nearly 5000 years. It includes diet and herbal remedies, while emphasizing the body, mind and spirit in
disease prevention and treatment. Ancient Chinese and Egyptian papyrus writings describe medicinal uses for plants as early as 3,000 BC. Indigenous cultures (such as African and Native American) used herbs in their healing rituals, while others developed traditional medical systems in which herbal therapies were used. An herb is a plant or plant part used for its scent, flavor, or therapeutic properties. Herbal medicines are one type of dietary supplement. They are sold as tablets, capsules, powders, teas, extracts, and fresh or dried plants. People use herbal medicines to try to maintain or improve their health. Many people believe that products labeled "natural" are always safe and good for them. This is not necessarily true. Herbal medicines do not have to go through the testing that
drugs do. Some herbs, such as comfrey and ephedra, can cause serious harm.
Open access (OA) refers to free, unrestricted online access to research outputs like journal articles and books. OA content is hospitable all, with no access fees. There are two main routes to creating research outputs openly accessible. One involves publishing articles or books via the OA route on a publisher’s platform (often mentioned as gold open access). the opposite involves archiving a version of the manuscript in an OA repository (often described as green open access). Content published via the gold OA route is accessible immediately on publication, while manuscripts deposited via the green OA route may, in many cases, be made accessible just one occasion a self-archiving embargo period has elapsed. The terms for onward sharing and re-use of OA content will depend upon the licence under which it's been made available.
