Description	This chapter reviews herbal options in treating metabolic and endocrine disease. Conditions such as diabetes and gout have been known since antiquity and have a wide range of natural treatments. The twentieth century heart-disease epidemic has focused attention on the cholesterol-lowering properties of plants; these claims have to be viewed with greater care as there is no tradition of usage. Increased obesity results in a wide range of medical problems. A simple solution is perhaps the most important challenge in treating metabolic disease and herbal options are being explored. Concern about the side effects of hormone replacement therapy during menopause has encouraged a review of traditional plant therapy. However, long-term plant usage may also be associated with side effects. Book Name: Handbook of African Medicinal Plants
