Synopsis Plants and drugs obtained from them have always been in the centre of all the traditional and modern systems of medicine including Allopathy, Homoeopathy, Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani schools of healing. Scholars of these different pathies have published therapeutics of plants with their own point of view. No efforts seems to have been made to bring medicinal and spiceal plants useful in different pathies at common platform. Endeavour made through this book is unique and novel in the sense that we have collected, compended and published well processed and refined information on such plant wealth useful in different systems of healing. Therefore, the book will certainly find its utility amongst scholars, researchers, teachers and scientists of different disciplines and interests including botany, environmental science and forestry, plant physiology, biochemistry, biotechnology, agricultural botany, genetics and plant breeding, agronomy, plant pathology, horticulture and economic botany and also post harvest management, technology and processing.   The compendium will also pave the way for domestication and ecofarming of many, otherwise, wild medicinal plants and for this purpose, several organizations involved in herbal farming and trade will like to have the book on their desks besides some progressive farmers. Such farming activity may be locationed at any part of the world including tropical, sub tropical, temperate, semi-arid and arid niches.
