ISBN-978-93-6175-427-2

The study of herbal medicines and their applications in modern healthcare is a field that has grown
significantly in importance over the past few decades. As traditional healing practices gain recognition
and scientific validation, the demand for comprehensive resources that bridge ancient knowledge with
contemporary research has become more pressing.
This book, Herbal Drug Technology (Theory), is an endeavor to provide students, researchers, and
practitioners with a thorough understanding of the principles, methodologies, and advancements in this
dynamic field.
Herbal drug technology is not merely about understanding the therapeutic properties of plants; it also
encompasses the intricate processes involved in the identification, extraction, formulation, and
standardization of herbal medicines.
In this book, we have aimed to present these topics in a structured and accessible manner, integrating
both the theoretical foundations and the practical applications of herbal drug technology. The content
is designed to cater to a diverse audience, from beginners to advanced learners, by covering fundamental
concepts as well as the latest developments in the industry.
One of the primary objectives of this book is to highlight the relevance of herbal drugs in the context
of modern healthcare. As we face the growing challenges of antibiotic resistance, chronic diseases, and
the need for more sustainable medical practices, the role of herbal medicines becomes increasingly vital.
This book seeks to emphasize the importance of evidence-based approaches to herbal drug
development, ensuring that these natural remedies are not only effective but also safe for widespread
use.
In writing this book, we have drawn upon a wide range of sources, including traditional texts,
contemporary research papers, and case studies from various regions of the world. My hope is that this
book will serve as a valuable reference for those involved in the study and practice of herbal drug
technology, fostering a deeper appreciation for the potential of herbal medicines to contribute to global
health.
we would like to express our gratitude to all the scholars, practitioners, and researchers whose work has
informed and enriched the content of this book. It is our sincere hope that Herbal Drug Technology
(Theory) will inspire further exploration and innovation in the field, contributing to the ongoing
integration of herbal medicines into mainstream healthcare systems.
