Medicinal and Aromatic plants of the world

Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) have been valued by mankind as sources of food and medicine for centuries. They have been in use to cure diseases of people and their livestock in various cultures and old civilizations. They are used in the health care systems of a majority of world’s populations especially in developing countries, where herbal medicine has a long history of use. This theme deals with indigenous knowledge, skills and practices based on the theories, beliefs and experiences indigenous to different cultures that are used to maintain health.
