PHARMACOGNOSY

The field of pharmacognosy encompasses the examination of the physicochemical, biochemical, and biological characteristics of natural crude drugs sourced from plants, microorganisms, and animals. It also involves the discovery, characterization, production, and standardization of these crude drugs. This discipline offers an in-depth understanding of cultivation techniques, the biogenesis of phytoconstituents, biotechnological principles, and the therapeutic applications of crude drugs.
