Because of the destruction of forests, the degradation of old palm leaf manuscripts, and decreasing interest in traditional medicine by younger generations, it is becoming more and more important to record medicinal plant knowledge before it is lost. This research provides written and photographic documentation of some of the medicinal plant knowledge held by the people of Laos. Translating and validating some of the power of traditional medicine used in Laos into biomedical terms through laboratory analyses may serve to demonstrate its importance in a global language. In this text, the translational research was performed through \u003ci\u003ein vitro\u003c\/i\u003e laboratory analyses of select plant species with a history to treat symptoms of TB. The processes of plant collection, extraction, biological assays, and isolation\/elucidation are also described and detailed in the Biochemical Validation section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe biomedical discoveries explored in, \u003ci\u003eEthnobotany of Tuberculosis in Laos\u003c\/i\u003e, stresses the importance of conserving and sustaining our natural ecosystems for medicinal preservation and  utilization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-11-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319106557\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-10656-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 109\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47404764102796,"sku":"9783319106557","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319106557.jpg?v=1775817162","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319106557","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
