The book: The World Health Organisation projects that by 2030 more than half of diabetes sufferers in the world will live in Asia. Global estimates indicate that over 3/4 of the five billion world population cannot afford the products of the western pharmaceutical industry and have to rely upon the use of traditional medicines, which are mainly derived from plants. As a part of strategy to reduce financial burden on developing countries which spend 40-50% of their total health budget on drugs. W.H.O. currently encourages, recommends and promotes the inclusion of herbal drugs in national health care programmes because such drugs are easily available at a price within the reach of a common man and as such are time tested and thus considered to be much safer than the modern synthetic drugs. Sensing this demand, the material of this book has been compiled to help the scientists to keep themselves abreast of the latest developments. This book will cater to the immediate needs of the students, researchers, faculty members and pharmaceutical industries in India and abroad.
