The healing properties of medicinal plants have been known to mankind since time immemorial. Although the reasons contributing healing power to medicinal plants were known to people of that time purely based on experience and not because of any scientific inference. The gradual trend of decreasing drug efficacy of synthetic drugs along with the associated contraindications due to their excessive usage, has opened up the gates of knowledge for preferring the use of natural drugs once again ...
