Preface

In Northeast Africa, traditional medicine is deeply embedded in the region's culture. Communities have traditionally relied on traditional healers, passing on their wisdom for generations. This publication, "Traditional Medicine in North East Africa: Research on Traditional Healer Preparations and Herbs," aims to document and explore the rich history of traditional healing in this diverse region. This book emphasizes the traditionally claimed medicinal plants extensively used by the country's traditional healers/practitioners against various ailments/diseases. Readers of the book will go through the Plant's Introduction, Pharmacognosy, Pharmacology (Dynamics), Phytochemicals or Phytoconstituents, Validation of the claim and scientific findings. The work presented in this book will be most useful for undergraduate students, postgraduate students and faculties at various universities of the world. Medicinal plant researchers or biomedical scientists (Microbiology, Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Sciences) will greatly benefit from the content as it covers various therapeutic potentials of medicinal herbs or trees. This publication will be a valuable resource for researchers, medical practitioners, policymakers, and anyone interested in the interconnectedness of traditional medicine, culture, and health in North East Africa. We hope it fosters ongoing discussions, investigations, and partnerships to protect, promote, and utilize the healing power of traditional medicine for the well-being of all.
