DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Since 1986, the WHO has been compiling monographs of selected medicinal plants. These monographs define drugs and contain information on identity, purity and quality testing, as well as on ingredients, areas of application, effects, efficacy, safety or side effects, and references. The WHO monographs make it easier for national authorities to decide on the authorization of preparations.
