Phytomedicine: Scope and current highlights

Phytomedicine is as ancient as human evolution, a practice that began with error and trial by our ancestors. Phytomedicine involves the usage of herbs as medication, founded on customary prudence or indulgent with scientific logic. It also comprises efficiency, quality, and security exploring the mechanisms of action of definite herb extracts, their sequestered constituents, including pharmacological, pharmacokinetic, clinical, and toxicity-based findings. Universal attentiveness in the usage of therapeutic and aromatic herbs is growing overwhelmingly. Advantageous properties of herb-based drugs and plant-derived products are in a continuous process of exploration, resulting in the unearthing of novel plant-based pharmaceuticals. Moreover, understanding the molecular mechanisms of conventional medication and its active ingredients may help the renovating plant-derived medications and detecting novel phytoagents. Extensive brilliant opportunities could exist in health sciences using modern sophisticated tools and techniques to get the better results with such traditional medicines.
