Summary "The Medicinal Plants of the Philippines" by T. H. Pardo de Tavera is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work provides a comprehensive exploration of the medicinal uses of various native plants found in the Philippines, along with their botanical descriptions and applications in traditional medicine. The book aims to document the rich therapeutic practices associated with Filipino flora, emphasizing the intersection of local knowledge and formal medical science. The opening portion of the work includes a translator's preface and the author's preface, explaining the dedication to studying and documenting the medicinal plants of the Philippines based on both indigenous practices and scientific inquiries. Tavera shares his experiences collecting botanical specimens and notes that the text serves as a resource for medical professionals eager to understand tropical medicine better. The prefaces also highlight the importance of native therapeutics and the potential advantages of local plants over exotic alternatives in treating diseases, setting the stage for the detailed descriptions of medicinal species that follow in the text.
