Ethnopharmacology: Exploring the Traditional Knowledge of Medicinal Plants

Abstract

Nermeen Guo*

Ethnopharmacology is an interdisciplinary field that combines elements of anthropology, pharmacology, and botany to study the traditional knowledge and practices surrounding the medicinal use of plants by different cultures. It encompasses the exploration, documentation, and analysis of indigenous healing systems and their associated plant-based remedies. This branch of science is crucial in understanding the cultural context of traditional medicine, validating its efficacy, and discovering potential sources for novel therapeutic compounds.
