Cultivation, Importance and Possibilites of Application of Medicinal Plants in Medicine

Abstract

Medicinal and aromatic plants are intensively studied and applied in traditional and official phytotherapy. Medicinal plants can be cultivated or collected from nature. The pharmacological activity of plants is mainly due to the products of secondary metabolism. Recently, more and more attention has been paid to the study of the chemical structure and pharmacological activity of herbal drugs, which contain polyphenols due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, and thus a beneficial effect on health.
