Abstract: | Drugs were doubtless developed when man’s life started on Earth. All beings, and humans too have always sought ways to overcome their ailments and diseases. Humans have tried to improve their living conditions and lengthen their life using various objects from the wildlife that once, intuitively and empirically, improved their health or at least palliated their ailments. Perhaps the origin of the pharmacopoeias, could be the set of useful remedies for curing human illnesses that have come through Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Chinese, Indian, Greek, Roman, Islamic and Christian cultures and that throughout history have been improving and adapting. |
