From my forty-seven years of ethnopharmacological research in the northwestern Amazon, ... I have field notes on more than 1,500 species [of plants] valued by the Indians for their biological activity as medicines, narcotics or poisons. Those include species and even genera and entire families of plants that have never been even superficially examined by phytochemists.

CONT

Par la connaissance approfondie des plantes, de leurs cycles et de leurs dates idéales de cueillette, du meilleur sol et de la meilleure exposition, les phytochimistes sont parvenus à des méthodes de récolte et d'extraction qui préservent les principes actifs de la plante tout autant que leur diffusion dans votre corps.

CONT

L'efficacité [de la phytothérapie] repose sur le choix des plantes et le travail des phytochimistes permettant de faire cette sélection sur des bases scientifiques rigoureuses.
