Pharmacognosy is the study of natural medicines, such as plants, minerals, and animals, and the chemical constituents that make them useful for medicinal purposes. It is an interdisciplinary science, combining elements of botany, chemistry, and pharmacology. Pharmacognosy studies the source, chemical composition, biological activity, and potential therapeutic uses of natural medicines. The field also includes the preparation and quality control of herbal products, and the systematic evaluation of their therapeutic efficacy. Research in pharmacognosy focuses on the chemical components of natural medicines, the effects of medicinal plants on the body, and the safety and efficacy of herbal products. Through pharmacognosy research, scientists are able to uncover new medicines, provide evidence-based support for traditional remedies, and develop safer and more effective treatments.
