Nature has been a source of medicinal agents for thousands of years and an impressive number of modern drugs have been isolated from natural resources. Export value of Indian Medicinal Plant is increasing year after year and has the potential of multiplying many times if concerted efforts are made at the government level to promote cultivation and marketing of medicinal plants. With the advance in techniques of phytochemistry and pharmacology, a number of active principles of medicinal plants were isolated and introduced as valuable drugs i.e. modern medicine. Hence, it is accepted that plants are useful in their crude or advanced forms as drugs.
