Ethnopharmacology

The study of herbal treatments made from plants and other natural components that have historically been used by different people groups to treat a variety of human disorders is known as ethnopharmacology. The majority of medicines we use today, such as morphine, aspirin, and the cancer drug Taxol, are derived from plants. The interdisciplinary study of drugs derived from naturally occurring substances like fungi and plants is known as ethnopharmacology. There is still much to learn about these herbs, despite the fact that they have been used often in traditional medicine for a very long time.
