El Chelsea Physic Garden ha cultivado plantas medicinales desde 1673. La planta que se muestra aquí es la montbretia ( crocosmia aurea ), utilizada como remedio para la disentería .
Esta es una lista alfabética de plantas utilizadas en herboristería .
La capacidad de sintetizar una amplia variedad de compuestos químicos que posiblemente se utilicen para realizar importantes funciones biológicas y para defenderse del ataque de depredadores como insectos, hongos y mamíferos herbívoros se denomina medicina herbal. Muchos de estos fitoquímicos tienen efectos beneficiosos sobre la salud a largo plazo cuando son consumidos por humanos y pueden usarse para tratar eficazmente enfermedades humanas. Hasta ahora se han aislado al menos 12.000 de estos compuestos; un número estimado en menos del 10% del total. [1] [2]
Los compuestos químicos de las plantas median sus efectos sobre el cuerpo humano a través de procesos idénticos a los que ya se conocen bien para los compuestos químicos de los fármacos convencionales; por lo tanto, las medicinas a base de hierbas no difieren mucho de las drogas convencionales en términos de cómo funcionan. Esto permite que las medicinas a base de hierbas sean tan eficaces como las medicinas convencionales, pero también les da el mismo potencial de causar efectos secundarios dañinos. [1] [2]
En Europa, los boticarios almacenaban ingredientes a base de hierbas para sus medicamentos. En los nombres latinos para plantas creadas por Linnaeus , la palabra officinalis indica que una planta se usó de esta manera. Por ejemplo, la malvavisco tiene la clasificación Althaea officinalis , ya que tradicionalmente se utilizaba como emoliente para aliviar las úlceras . [4] La medicina ayurvédica , la medicina herbal y la medicina tradicional china son otros ejemplos de prácticas médicas que incorporan usos médicos de las plantas. Farmacognosiaes la rama de la medicina moderna sobre medicinas de origen vegetal. Las plantas incluidas aquí son aquellas que han sido o están siendo utilizadas con fines medicinales, en al menos una de esas tradiciones medicinales.
La medicina moderna ahora tiende a utilizar los ingredientes activos de las plantas en lugar de las plantas enteras. Los fitoquímicos pueden sintetizarse, combinarse o transformarse de otro modo para fabricar productos farmacéuticos . Los ejemplos de tales derivados incluyen digoxina, de digitalis ; capsaicina , de chile ; y aspirina , que se relaciona químicamente con el ácido salicílico que se encuentra en el sauce blanco . La adormidera sigue siendo una importante fuente industrial de opiáceos, incluida la morfina.. Sin embargo, pocos remedios tradicionales se han traducido en fármacos modernos, aunque se sigue investigando la eficacia y la posible adaptación de los tratamientos tradicionales a base de hierbas.
