Natural products from the medicinal plant source are the main cast of modern drug in clinical use. Herbs are used by man from the beginning of human culture as a source of medicine. WHO estimates that more than 80% of the world’s population relies on plants as the primary medicinal source for the treatment of common diseases. People not only use herbs as medicines but also as food and cosmetics. Though most of the people have knowledge regarding medicinal plants, they lack in identifying the plants and they easily get confused regarding the different species of a same genus or else to identify a well-known plant by its botanical name. Traditional medical practitioners use a variety of plants in their treatment and are very much successful in their approach, but they are unable to communicate their ideas to the modern world, which require vernacular names and botanical names. This book will not only serve for the students and faculties of technical courses but it will also do well for Vaidyas and Hakims too, who could make use of this book by its photographs in communicating their ideas. This book attempted to bring together many herbs along with their photos and botanical classification that could be a useful tool for the students and researchers in several disciplines of plant sciences.
