The histories of medicine and botany are inextricably linked from the earliest ventures in both fields. Although synthetic pharmaceuticals now dominate the drug scene, medicinal plants continue to hold a place in international health care. Around one quarter of prescription drugs are still extracted or derived from plants. The bend towards re-exploration of plant wealth in technologically advanced countries like Germany, Japan and France has not only improved the quality and quantity of natural products research but has also led to increased interest in such products all over the world. Herbal products of increasing sophistication are infiltrating the mass market. There is rethinking on the need to integrate 'western' and 'traditional' remedies. Awareness of the importance of natural heritage and biodiversity is growing.
In this scenario, a strong link of communication needs to be established from the research worker to the public for the benefit of the community at large. In 'Heal with Herbs', we have attempted to cater to this need by giving an interesting account of plant derived drugs. If our readers are able to share the joy and the fascination which carried us through, our purpose will have been well served.
