The base of 90 percentage herbal crude drugs, useful in the manufacture of Siddha, Ayurveda, Unani, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Amchi and Modern systems of medicine, is widely from the wild. This wild source is quickly shrinking day-by-day. Therefore, there is a necessity for the conservation and sustainable use of medicinal plants.Plants are the important source of natural drugs. India is a country wealthy in indigenous herbal resources. The varied topography and r changing agro climatic conditions permits the growth of almost 20,000 plant species, of which about 2,500 are of medicinal value. If one or more organs of the plant s contains substances that can be used for the therapeutic purpose, they are called medicinal plants.This book provides information about more than 100 species of medicinal plants giving their photographs, scientific name, vernacular name, distribution, cultivation, plant parts, phyto-constituents and therapeutic uses.This book will be useful to all the students, researchers and teachers in the field of medicinal plants.

This volume introduces the ecological history of woodland vegetation in South India. It incorporates a critical overview of the theories of ecological on the subcontinent while detailing the history of long-term changes in the tree and shrub vegetation of the Indian peninsula that have resulted from climate change and the impact of human activities on the landscape. The volume also demonstrates the potential of microscopic analysis of archaeological wood charcoal remains for the purpose of palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. Included in the volume is a practical guide for the microscopic identification of the principal timber species of South India, accompanied by detailed information on the synecology and autecology of native trees and shrubs, and ethnographic evidence on their diverse uses and properties. An accompanying CD-ROM contains the complete identification guide and many full color illustrations of South Asian trees and shrubs to facilitate analysis.

Plants have been a source of medicines and have played crucial role for human health. Despite tremendous advances in the field of synthetic drugs and antibiotics, plants continue to play a vital role in modern as well as traditional medicine across the globe. In even today, one-third of the world’s population depends on traditional medicine because of its safety features and ability to effectively cure diseases. This book presents a comprehensive guide to medicinal plants, their utility, diversity and conversation, as well as biotechnology. It is divided into four main sections, covering all aspects of research in medicinal plants: biodiversity and conservation; ethnobotany and ethnomedicine; bioactive compounds from plants and microbes; and biotechnology. All sections cover the latest advances. The book offers a valuable asset for researchers and graduate students of biotechnology, botany, microbiology and the pharmaceutical sciences. It is an equally important resource for doctors (especially those engaged in Ayurveda and allopathy); the pharmaceutical industry (for drug design and synthesis); and the agricultural sciences.
