Abstract

The folkloric medicine has played a key role in the span of human civilization and human wilderness. Based on judicious use of roots, leaves, fruits and flowers of herbs and plants, spread on all widths and breadth of the world, man has been mitigating his sufferings and ailments. Modern medicine can enrich itself immensely from the experiences of antiquity. Nature’s abundant renewable supply of plants and herbs could be a great source of cheap drugs, which can be complimentary to modern medicines for alleviating the suffering of the third world’s population.
