Importance of herbaria in herbal drug discovery
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The conservation of traditional medicinal knowledge opens the door towards modern aspects of herbal drug discovery. It was started from knowledge exchange through ethnic groups by oral tradition and then in the documented form. Herbaria conserving identified and authenticated plants for future correspondence play an important role in this regard. In presenting review, authors have declared different auxiliary aspects of herbaria for phytomedicinal research.
