Description

Mankind has used plants as a source of medicine since ancient times.

Initially, these formed the bulk of folk or ethnomedicine, practiced in India and other parts of the world.

Later, a considerable part of this indigenous knowledge was documented and merged with the organised system of medicine.

This book contains articles covering information on medicinal plants used for curing various ailments, with a special focus on India.

It covers herbal formulation and its standardization, herbal remedies in antibacterial therapy, commercial use of medicinal plants and the ethno-medico-botany of some sacred plants.

The book also provides an account of traditional medicinal plants and their prospective applications in the modern day world.

This book will serve as a useful reference for botanists, phytochemists, and those related to the pharmaceutical industry.
