Biography

Abstract

The Traditional Medicine has been around for nearly millennia. People have been benefiting from the indigenous plants and still 80 percent of the population in Asia and Africa use traditional remedies to treat various illnesses. There are different forms of traditional medicines include Chinese Traditional Medicines, Tibb e Nabwi, Ayurveda, Unani, Korean traditional medicine and Kampo. This research aims to review the connection between the Natural/Traditional medicines and the modern synthetic pharmaceutical products and explore different methodologies that are being used in the modern pharmaceutical industries in extracting products from indigenous plants and fusing them with the modern synthetic medicines. However, the fact cannot be denied that there are incomparable advantages of synthesizing medicines using the traditional medicines due to their unique biological activities and diverse chemical structures. So, instead of peddling pseudotherapies under the guise of traditional medicine or Ayurveda, researchers should take the hard route and make ancient knowledge actually useful.
