World Health Organisation (WHO) has defined medicinal plants as plants that contain compounds or having properties that can be used for therapeutic purposes or those that synthesize metabolites to produce useful drugs. Medicinal plants are available in almost all countries of the world but India is considered as the largest producer of medicinal plants and, therefore, is called ‗Botanical garden of the world‘.
