The book has been compiled to bring together comprehensive
information and literature on medicinally and commercially
important plants in respect of biosystematics, reproductive
biology, genetic amelioration, cultivation, conservation,
chemistry, pharmacology, trade, value addition and future prospects
for wider readership. The ten plants are: Aegle marmelos, Aloe
vera, Saussurea costus, Aconitum heterophyllum, Asparagus
racemosus, Berberis aristata, Bergenia ciliata, Crocus sativus,
Picrorhiza kurroa and Piper longum. The primary motivation for
writing this book was to collate scientific information on some of
the most privileged plants used in India and to give a critical
analysis of next-generation research problems worth pursuing. We
have identified a set of ten plants which have great potential for
safeguarding and promoting wellness and human health and possess
promising potential of product development for commerce. Recent
global regulatory developments, exemplified by US-FDA creating a
road-map for marketing approval of plant- based botanical drugs and
nutritional supplements, has opened up global market for Indian
medicinal plants. Over a hundred Indian plants that have been used
in traditional systems of medicine for centuries have now been
recognized and included in the global pharmacopoeias (US, EU and
Japan). In 2015, the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) has
created a separate category for phytopharmaceutical drugs, and over
100 plants have been approved by Food Safety and Standard Authority
of India (FSSAI) for inclusion as nutritional products.
