Author : Shraddha Tiwari and Dr. SM Haider Zaidi

Abstract

The medicinal qualities of plants are utilized to treat a wide range of illnesses. In this study, the therapeutic potential and micropropagation of a few medicinal plants that are now under threat were examined. Records of medicinal plants from the ancient Mesopotamian period and reports of written manuscripts about the therapeutic qualities of herbs dating back to 2600 BC have made it feasible to create medications based on plants and natural goods. A number of environmental, social, economic, and institutional problems are posing a danger to medicinal plants, making their preservation increasingly crucial. Due to habitat deterioration and overexploitation, several species of medicinal plants are in danger of going extinct. Plants are often used as stores of bioactive compounds due to their medicinal properties. Medicinal plants play a crucial part in curing the majority of ailments as many human issues are resolved with medications made from plant ingredients. Many different diseases are treated and cured with the help of medicinal plants, which contain a multitude of bioactive compounds.
