Accurately written chapters guide the readers through roles of Himalayan plants in metabolic diseases like cancer and diabetes, hepatic diseases, inflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative diseases etc. Some chapters focus on diseases and how various plants from Himalayan origin are beneficial in these diseases. Some chapters describe Himalayan plants and their beneficial effects in the management of various diseases. There are two chapters of “Bioactive Phytochemicals from Himalayas: A Phytotherapeutic Approach” which focusing precisely on computational and experimental tools for research on Himalayan plants. Transcribed in the highly successful Bentham book series, is the compilation provides readers a magnified view of molecular pathways modulated by the phytochemicals of these plants. Professionally gathered, the book “Bioactive Phytochemicals from Himalayas: A Phytotherapeutic Approach” aims to deliver detailed information on the molecular aspects of Himalayan plants in disease regulation and will attract a wide scientific community from various research fields. The book can serve as a handbook for researchers working on various aspects of Himalayan plants focusing on therapy.
