Opening with an in-depth historical account of orchids (.orchis. Greek testicle), the author describes how the Theory of Signatures influenced ancient herbalists to regard terrestrial orchid tubers as aphrodisiacs. Doctors and apothecaries promoted it during the Renaissance. Usage of orchids in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Indian Ayurvedic Medicine; by Tibetan yogins and Amchi healers for longevity pills, tonics and aphrodisiacs; by Africans to prepare ‘health promoting‘ chikanda or as survival food when lost in the Australian bush are some highlights of the book. Early settlers in America and the East Indies often relied on native remedies and employment of orchids for such needs is described. Also covered are the search for medicinal compounds by scientists, attempts to prove the orchid‘s efficacy by experiment and the worry of conservationists. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | ethnobotany; Vanilla; herbal medicine; medicinal plants; orchid conservation; Tianma (Gastrodia elata); De | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-18255-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-18257-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-18255-7 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
