Pharmacognocy

The area of pharmacy that focuses on studying natural medications made from plants, animals, and minerals is called Pharmacognosy. It includes identifying, growing, extracting, and assessing bioactive substances for application in medicine. Drug discovery relies heavily on pharmacognosy, which forms the basis of many conventional and contemporary medications.

Ethnopharmacology, which studies traditional medical practices, and Phytochemistry, which examines plant ingredients, are both important sciences. It also investigates the medicinal potential of food supplements and herbal mixtures.

Pharmacognosy advances pharmaceutical research and promotes global healthcare by fusing ancient knowledge with contemporary science to create safe, inexpensive, and effective medications.
