International Society for Ethnopharmacology (ISE)
Ethnopharmacology is a fast developing area of research. The Society was constituted in 1990 and is registered as a charity under the state of Michigan, USA. Journal of Ethnopharmacology is the official publication of ISE. The Society not only organises regular meetings and promotes research and publication but also offers multiple ways to exchange information between scientists and anyone else interested in this area. The ISE promotes critical discussions between everyone interested in local and traditional knowledge on medicinal, food and toxic plants and their past, present and future. Journal of Ethnopharmacology is the official publication of ISE published by Elsevier Science. Knowledge about traditional medicines is put into practice in different cultural settings in daily health care, nutrition, veterinary etc. The society works on the perception of the epic and ethic perspective of such knowledge so as to promote the future use of such local and traditional knowledge. The approach is trans-disciplinary to strengthen the link between the social and the natural sciences.
