Produced by the BHMA Scientific
Committee and edited by Peter Bradley, the Volume 1
monographs offer authoritative summaries of Constituents
(with phytochemical structure diagrams) and Therapeutics,
copiously referenced to worldwide scientific literature,
together with a section on Regulatory Status and excerpts
from French guidelines and German Commission E monographs.
The format is broadly similar to that of Volume 2 (of
which a sample monograph can be downloaded from this
site). However, since less herbal research had been
published back in 1992, Volume 1 monographs are generally
shorter in length and have less detail on Pharmacology,
Clinical Studies and Safety than those found in Volume
2; they reflect the level of data available at that
time.
