Ethnopharmacology is the study of how different cultures use plants and natural substances for medicinal purposes. It combines knowledge from ethnobotany, which focuses on the relationship between people and plants, with pharmacology, the science of drugs and their effects on the body. Researchers in this field explore traditional healing practices and seek to understand the active compounds in these natural remedies. By documenting and analyzing traditional medicine systems, ethnopharmacology aims to discover new drugs and therapies. This research can lead to the development of effective treatments while also preserving cultural knowledge and practices related to health and healing.
