Cette revue commentée de communications dans le domaine de la plante médicinale (recherche pharmacologique et clinique) a été élaborée pour son intérêt médical ou pharmaceutique. Elle devrait permettre de faire progresser d’autres études qui aboutiront à une application thérapeutique. Il est, cependant, important d’avertir les lecteurs que d’une découverte ou d’une démonstration pharmacologique ne découle pas immédiatement la justification de l’utilisation médicale.
This editorial review of medicinal plant publications, focusing on pharmacological and clinical research, was written for its pharmaceutical and medical value. It is hoped that it will help advance additional studies that could lead to therapeutic applications. Readers must be aware however, that a pharmacological breakthrough or the demonstration of pharmacological activity does not immediately justify medical use.
