In many parts of the world, customary employments of plants by neighbourhood groups for the treatment of different afflictions are important in the improvement of present-day pharmaceuticals.

In Africa, therapeutic and fragrant plants are stores of remedial components in the treatment of different sicknesses, for example, jungle fever, diabetes and some more. In the Philippines, there is rich ethno medicinal information among neighbourhood groups be that as it may; this learning is just exchanged to the cutting edge through verbal means and individual experience. Prior documentation of this information that has been distributed has been centred around chosen indigenous tribes. Recently, notwithstanding, piecemeal documentation of ethno medicinal learning of some extra indigenous gatherings has been directed.

Ethnopharmacology is a related study of ethnic groups and their use of drugs. Ethnopharmacology is distinctly linked to plant use, ethnobotany, as this is the main delivery of pharmaceuticals. Ethnopharmacy is the interdisciplinary science that investigates the perception and use of pharmaceuticals within a given human society. Emphasis has long been on traditional medicines, although the approach also has proven useful to the study of modern pharmaceuticals.

Ethnopharmacology is one of the world's quickest developing logical controls including a different scope of subjects. It joins common sciences inquire about on therapeutic, fragrant and harmful plants with socio-social reviews and has regularly been related with the improvement of new medications. The Editors of Ethnopharmacology have collected a global group of famous supporters of give a basic amalgamation of the significant assortment of new learning and confirmation regarding the matter that has risen over the previous decade.

Two-thirds of the world’s population depend upon herbal resources for their primary health care needs.

Korean medicine refers to the medical practices used in Korea, an ancient history with some overlap with TCM and the healing practices of East Asia. Traditional Korean medicine does not attempt to learn about the body by dissection, experimentation or analysis, but instead observes natural bodily functions as they appear in order to diagnose an illness or ailment.

Phytochemistry is the investigation of phytochemicals, which are chemicals gotten from plants. Those considering phytochemistry endeavor to portray the structures of the vast number of auxiliary metabolic mixes found in plants, the elements of these mixes in human and plant science, and the biosynthesis of these mixes. Plants combine phytochemicals for some reasons, including to secure themselves against bug assaults and plant sicknesses. Phytochemicals in sustenance plants are regularly dynamic in human science, and much of the time have medical advantages.

Phytochemistry can be considered sub-fields of botany or chemistry. Activities can be led in botanical gardens or in the wild with the aid of ethnobotany. The applications of the discipline can be for pharmacognosy, or the discovery of new drugs, or as an aid for plant physiology studies

Pharmacognosy is the study of medicinal drugs derived from plants or other natural sources. The American Society of Pharmacognosy defines pharmacognosy as "the study of the physical, chemical, biochemical and biological properties of drugs, drug substances or potential drugs or drug substances of natural origin as well as the search for new drugs from natural sources".

Plant preparations are said to be medicinal or herbal when they are used to promote health beyond basic nutrition. The study of drugs from plants includes the subjects of botany, chemistry, and pharmacology. The renaissance of herbal medicine in this country creates a demand for studies in the field of pharmacognosy.

Ethnopharmacology has already played important role in the development of conventional medicine and is likely to play more significant role in the years to come. A team work amongst ethnobotanists, ethnopharmacologists, physicians and phytochemists is essential for the fruitful outcome on medicinal plants research. While the ethnopharmacologists have a greater role to play in the rationalization of combination of activities, the phytochemist's role will slightly shift towards standardization of botanicals. Indeed today many pharmacological classes of drugs include a natural product prototype. Aspirin, atropine, ephedrine, digoxin, morphine, quinine, reserpine and tubocurarine are a few examples of drugs, which were originally discovered through the study of traditional cures and folk knowledge of indigenous people.
