Abstract
Medicinal plants grow naturally around us. Over centuries, cultures around the world have learned how to use plants to fight illness and maintain health. Increasingly, medicinal species that reside in natural areas have received scientific and commercial attention. Medicinal plants have been playing an essential role in the development of human culture. As a source of medicine, Medicinal plants have always been at the forefront of virtually all cultures of civilizations.
The usefulness of the common-factor approach as a method of engaging other health promoters in propagating the ideals of medicinal plants is highlighted. The place of medicinal plants in preventing common diseases is further examined under the five core principles of the Primary Health Care (PHC) approach. Medicinal plants play vital roles in disease prevention and their promotion and use fit into all existing prevention strategies. However, conscious efforts need to be made to properly identify, recognize, and position medicinal plants in the design and implementation of these strategies. Medicinal plants are globally valuable sources of herbal products, and they are disappearing at a high speed. Medicinal plants are globally valuable sources of new drugs. There are over 1300 medicinal plants used in Europe, of which 90 % are harvested from wild resources; in the United States, about 118 of the top 150 prescription drugs are based on natural sources. Furthermore, up to 80 % of people in developing countries are dependent on herbal drugs for their primary healthcare, and over 25 % of prescribed medicines in developed countries are derived from wild plant species. With the increasing demand for herbal drugs, natural health products, and secondary metabolites of medicinal plants, the use of medicinal plants is growing rapidly throughout the world.
As medicinal plants receive increased scientific and commercial attention, there is increasing pressure on the wild plant populations from which most medicinal plants are harvested.
The conservation and sustainable use of medicinal plants have been studied extensively. Various sets of recommendations have been compiled regarding their conservation, including the
establishment of systems for species inventorying and status monitoring, and the need for coordinated conservation practices based on both in situ and ex-situ strategies. For medicinal plants with increasingly limited supplies, sustainable use of wild resources can be an effective conservation alternative. In China and South Africa, the situation is particularly critical because of the high demands of large populations.
