In recent years, there has been a surge in the demand for plant-based drugs and food additives. The use of organic fertilizers and natural dyes is the preferred alternative. Some countries have even banned the use of synthetic colorants and flavors from use for human consumption.

This book provides comprehensive and useful information on the medicinal plants especially those used as food supplement in the form of health vitalizers and invigorators. A subjective approach is attempted for the first time in this book with all the information available in one single volume. Separate chapters are devoted to the medicinal values of each herb. The details about various plant extracts possessing significant anti-stress activity, are presented in this book.

Biotechnology of Medicinal Plants will be a source book for the herbalists, Ayurvedic practitioners, drug manufacturers, botanists, biotechnologists, pharmacologists, agriculturists, phytochemists as well as anyone interested in medicinal plants research and biotechnology.
