Why is it important?
The use of medicinal plants as a means of healing may be credited not only to sociocultural factors, but also to the ineffectiveness of some of the existing drugs. Lack of effective therapy in addition to antibiotic resistance has led to a search for novel plant-derived therapeutic agents
Perspectives
