A Study on Medicinal Plants and uses as Anti- Microbial Agent | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

Medicinal plants have played an important role in the evolution of traditional Indian medicine in India. There are an estimated 70,000 plant species that have been utilised for medical purposes at some point or another. Conventional medications may be isolated or synthesised using herbs as a starting point. The Chinese pharmacopoeia contains about 5,700 traditional remedies, the majority of which are derived from plants, while over 2000 Ayurvedic practitioners felt that plant species had therapeutic worth. Although complete plants are seldom employed, around 500 herbs are still used in traditional medicine.
