Pharmacognosy is the study of natural crude drugs obtained from natural origin with numerous medicinal properties. It has always occupied a foundational place in the pharmaceutical sciences. As modern medicine continues to evolve, the relevance of natural sources, especially plants, in the discovery and development of therapeutic agents remains undiminished. In fact, the growing interest in integrative and complementary medicine underscores the enduring importance of this field. This book has been written to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date resource on pharmacognosy, bridging classical knowledge with current scientific advancements. It is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students of pharmacy, pharmacology, botany, and related disciplines, as well as researchers and practitioners who seek a deeper understanding of natural drug sources and their applications. The chapters are organized to guide the reader from fundamental concepts— such as the history, scope, and classification of crude drugs—to more advanced topics, including phytochemical screening, analytical techniques, and the pharmacological potential of key medicinal plants. Emphasis has also been placed on sustainable sourcing, quality control, and the global regulatory frameworks governing herbal medicines. This work is the result of years of academic engagement, research, and a deep appreciation for the intricate relationship between nature and medicine. It is my hope that this book will not only serve as a learning tool, but also inspire further inquiry into the rich world of pharmacognosy and natural drug discovery.
