Synopsis

The increasing cost of prescription drugs has sparked a renewed interest in medicinal plants as a means of maintaining personal health and well-being. Traditional herbal medicine, which has become increasingly popular in developed countries in recent years, presents several advantages over modern medicine, including its prophylactic properties. Therefore, it would be advisable to cultivate and bring to light lesser-known medicinal plants, particularly those that are in high demand and rare. This book was created by the authors to develop better methods of conveying and spreading information about the cultivation and uses of many crops. As the world becomes more advanced and generates vast amounts of information, there will be a greater need to access legacy plant materials with the help of technology. This book helps to break down barriers of accessibility to information on rare medicinal plants.
