    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    The African Herbal Pharmacopoeia, Second Edition, is a definitive reference work that brings together the most authoritative scientific and ethnobotanical knowledge on 30 of the most important medicinal plants in Africa. Developed in collaboration with leading international and African researchers, this second edition offers expanded monographs, updated analytical standards, and in-depth ethnobotanical insights into high-priority medicinal plant species used across the continent.

    Building on the foundation of the first edition, this volume integrates additional research in phytochemistry, ethnopharmacology, quality control, and (where available) clinical use. Each monograph provides standardized botanical descriptions, HPTLC profiles, therapeutic applications, toxicological information, and regulatory status. New to this edition are contributions on HPTLC standardization, conservation status, and sustainability considerations?critical for ensuring continued access to plant-based therapies in both traditional and modern health systems.

    Designed for researchers, students, policymakers, industry stakeholders, and the plant and cultural enthusiasts, this second edition reflects a pan-African commitment to advancing indigenous knowledge through evidence-based approaches. With its rigorous editorial standards and wide-ranging collaborations, it is a cornerstone for the future of African herbal medicine and pharmaceutical research and innovation.
