Quality Assurance of Ethno-Herbals: Cultivating Confidence in Alternative Medicine offers a comprehensive and scholarly examination of the essential methodologies, cultural considerations, and regulatory frameworks surrounding the quality assurance of ethno-herbal remedies. This volume bridges the rich legacy of traditional herbal practices with contemporary scientific inquiry, highlighting the critical need for rigorous validation, standardization, and ethical stewardship in the preservation and advancement of indigenous medicinal knowledge.

The book opens with an exploration of culinary heritage and the cultural significance of indigenous herbs, followed by a thoughtful analysis of the challenges inherent in preserving these valuable resources.

Through contributions from experts in ethnobotany, pharmacognosy, law, and cultural studies, the text examines collaborative models, policy frameworks, and future directions that aim to integrate ethno-herbal practices responsibly within modern healthcare systems. Emphasizing the ethical imperative of valuing and respecting indigenous wisdom, this volume serves as an authoritative resource for researchers, healthcare practitioners, policymakers, and academicians engaged in the fields of alternative medicine, herbal pharmacology, and cultural heritage preservation.
