Medicinal plants are plants that have been used for their healing properties for thousands of years. They have many uses in traditional and modern medicine, such as:

• Treating various diseases and improving human health. Some of the most common medicinal plants include turmeric, ginger, basil, mint, and cinnamon. These plants have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal effects. They can also help with digestion, immunity, stress relief, pain relief, and skin care.
• Providing a natural and affordable alternative to synthetic drugs. Many people still rely on medicinal plants to supplement their healthcare, especially in developing countries where access to modern medicine is limited.
• Preserving biodiversity and protecting the environment. Medicinal plants can help reduce soil erosion, prevent deforestation, and support the livelihoods of many people who grow and sell them.
