Natural Products, Medicinal Plants and Traditional Medicine

Ethnopharmacology

Ethnopharmacology is the study of different medicinal plants products in a specific group or in response to drugs by a different culture. It focuses on the use of traditional medicine in local communities and also commercial application. Many expensive drugs of today such as ephedrine, tubocurarine, atropine, reserpine, and digoxin came into use through the study of indigenous remedies. Ethnopharmacology is based on the combination of the chemical and

Biological, pharmacological sciences, which are a useful tool for natural product-based drug discovery. It deals with field studies, pharmacological and clinical studies of chemically profiled extracts, and studies on the quality and composition of several other issues like biological screening and naturally derived products research.
