Introduction<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for you to look into your backyard and beyond. Plants, a worldwide food source and source of ecological equilibrium, also have another fantastic property-the ability to be harnessed for medicine! Remedies for illnesses, injuries, and diseases have been historically derived from plants. A superficial burn in 3000 B.C.E that might have called for the soothing gel of an aloe vera plant may require a plant-based medicinal cream today. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, \u201cA full 40 percent of the drugs behind the pharmacist\u2019s counter in the Western world are derived from plants that people have used for centuries, including the top 20 best-selling prescription drugs in the United States today\u201d (Medicinal Botany). Without plants, the world would lose not only a key food source, but also an important area of future innovation and current necessity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
