TWO VOLUME 2nd Edition of the ESCOP Monographs
The Scientific Foundation for Herbal Medicinal Products!
The two books that make up the Second Edition of the ESCOP monographs mark a new authority on herbal medicine. Following the indispensable pioneering work of the Commission E in Germany, ESCOP has taken the lead role across Europe over the past decade in reviewing the therapeutic uses of herbal medicinal products. This is now recognized by the European Medicines Evaluation Agency, which formally receives ESCOP monographs as a basis for core dossiers on herbal medicines. Initial funding for the enterprise was provided by the European Commission.
ESCOP, representing national associations of herbal medicine or phytotherapy across Europe, is uniquely placed to provide an international consensus. Preparation of the monographs by the ESCOP Scientific Committee has involved delegates from 15 countries with the assistance of numerous external experts on herbal medicine and an eminent Board of Supervising Editors.
60 ESCOP monographs were published during the late 1990s. All were updated and expanded for the first volume of the second edition, published in 2003 includes a further 20 monographs. The text constitutes an up-to-date review of scientific information on the therapeutic uses of herbal medicines, including indications, dosage, contra-indications, interactions and undesirable effects, together with summaries of pharmacological, clinical and toxicological data. It is extensively referenced to scientific literature - almost 5000 full citations were reviewed to produce the book.
The Supplement adds 27 new monographs and updates another 8 of the 2003 monographs. Over 1800 new citations are reviewed.
Immediate past ESCOP Chairman Professor Fritz H. Kemper has written
ESCOP is an organisation of volunteers. All members of the Scientific Committee, guest experts, the panel of Supervising Editors, and Board of ESCOP give their time freely to their work in pursuit of the highest standards for herbal medicinal products. This book really is a labour of love. We at the Board of ESCOP are very proud of the many who have contributed to these monographs and are most grateful to them.
The ESCOP monographs are an invaluable resource for health professionals, regulators, manufacturers and many others. They provide the evidence base for the clinical use of herbal medicinal products.
