Herbal formulations, Phytochemistry and Pharmacognosy combines the principles of natural medicines with refined modern technology that helps the development of more ecofriendly, better effective, easily available, and affordable drug discovery process.

The drug discovery process accelerates the design of new leads for various life-threatening diseases. Natural medicines have been an integral part of drug discovery process, and these not only play a major role as a template for the drug discovery but also offer holistic approach for better management of various diseases.

The main purpose of this book is to provide the classical and applied knowledge in drug discovery and broadly cover the related aspects such as herbal formulations, phytochemistry and pharmacogenetic research.
