Abstract

Modern medicine was built on the solid foundation of traditional medicine. Since the beginning of time, plants have been an important resource in these ancient practices due to their abundance. In present day times, manufactured drugs have turned into a rewarding other option; However, even synthetic alternatives are unable to replace the value of plants as a resource. Natural medicines have gained popularity recently, which is not surprising given the benefits. The possibilities for drug discovery and the utilization of plants in the treatment of a wide range of conditions appear to be limitless if the knowledge derived from traditional medicinal practices is combined with contemporary science.
