include quality concerns and quality control, pharmacovigilance,
scientific investigation and validation, IPR and biopiracy, and the
challenge that various indigenous systems of medicine are at risk
of being lost. The book also explores the role of traditional
medicine in providing new functional leads and modern approaches
that can offer elegant strategies for facilitating the drug
discovery process. The book also provides in-depth information on
various traditional medicinal systems in India and discusses their
medical importance. India has a very long history of safely using
many herbal drugs. Folk medicine is also a key source of medical
knowledge and plays a vital role in maintaining health in rural and
remote areas. Despite its importance, this form of medicine largely
remains under-investigated. Out of all the traditional medicinal
systems used worldwide, Indian traditional medicine holds a unique
position, as it has continued to deliver healthcare throughout the
Asian subcontinent since ancient times. In addition, traditional
medicine has been used to derive advanced techniques and
investigate many modern drugs. Given the scope of its coverage, the
book offers a valuable resource for scientists and researchers
exploring traditional and herbal medicine, as well as graduate
students in courses on traditional medicine, herbal medicine and
pharmacy.
