Medicinal And Aromatic Plants Of The World (Hb 2015) Hardcover

From the earliest days of humanity, medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) have been integral to our existence. Our use of these plants has developed alongside our own evolution, leading to significant scientific understanding that allows us to utilize them in numerous ways, such as in medicines, animal feed, food supplements, and cosmetics. Interestingly, despite a renewed interest in MAPs, around 80% of the global population still depends on naturally occurring plant-based substances, primarily gathered from wild sources. This initial book, and the series it begins, aims to offer readers extensive information about medicinal and aromatic plants.
