This book explores the profound impact of medicinal and aromatic plants, tracing their journey from ancient traditions to modern applications. With India boasting the richest diversity of these plants, the text delves into their historical significance and contemporary relevance in drug discovery, culinary arts, and income generation. As the world grapples with severe diseases, these plants have gained renewed attention for their therapeutic potential.The chapters cover a wide range of topics, including the introduction of newly discovered medicinal plants, their distribution, and phytochemistry. The book emphasizes eco-friendly conservation methods for rare and endangered species, and innovative techniques such as microbes-enabled seed coating for improved germination. Readers will discover the diverse applications of phytochemicals in treating non-communicable and infectious diseases, as well as their potential in dermatological and emerging disease treatments. The text also explores the role of green technology in enhancing the production of bioactive compounds through the synthesis of nanoparticles.This volume is an invaluable resource for researchers in environmental studies, microbiology, and related fields. It offers insights for policymakers in environmental and waste management, and for professionals in the food industry, agriculture, and vaccine development. It addresses the intersection of traditional knowledge and modern science, making it a must-read for scholars, practitioners, and interested laypersons alike. By providing a comprehensive overview of the sustainable use of medicinal plants, this book equips readers with the knowledge needed to advance research and practice in this vital area of study.
