It is widely accepted that herbs and botanicals offer immense health benefits. Traditional systems and practices across the globe have played a key role in offering natural solutions for various health conditions. On the other hand, modern medicines - that are based on chemical drugs also have added significant value to healthcare. Herbs, unlike the chemical drugs, have a complex and largely unknown chemical composition that pose scientific challenges to conduct clinical studies, evaluate safety, decipher the mechanisms of actions and to define and control quality of commercial preparations. In addition, multiple other issues pertaining to herbs need scientific understanding and solutions. These include identification of plants, natural variations of chemical composition of medicinal plants, contaminants, adulterations, analytical challenges, impact of climate change, sustainability, etc. Consumption of herbal products is increasing globally with growing demand for botanical supplements and complementary medicine. At the same time, the scientific work on all the above-mentioned issues has also gained rapid pace during the last two decades. Purpose of this webinar series is to kindle thoughts and discuss the current updates and scientific knowledge available on above mentioned issues with experts.
