\u003cp\u003ePharmacognosy, the science of nature-derived drugs, pharmaceuticals and poisons, played a crucial role in the development of modern medicine, and now has an equally important place in healthcare all over the world. This wide scope ranges from traditional medicine systems and herbal and nutritional therapies, the preparation and use of highly standardised and clinically tested herbal medicines, to the production of potent drugs used only in a purified form. Natural sources mainly focus on plants, fungi and algae, but drug discovery of novel compounds and structures includes bacteria and even marine animals.\u003c/p\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003cp\u003eFundamentals of Pharmacognosy and Phytotherapy \u003c/p\u003e\u003c/i\u003eis a landmark textbook that covers this spectrum of medicinal plant use.
