Plants are very useful to mankind. Many of them are used exclusively for medicinal purposes. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “a medicinal plant is a plant which, in one or more of its organs, contains substances that can be used for therapeutic purposes, or which are precursors for chemo-pharmaceutical semi-synthesis.” Such plants are in great demand by pharmaceutical companies for their active ingredients.
