Medical ethnobotany
Abstract
This collection on medical ethnobotany focuses on contributions that explore the invaluable potential associated with the ethnobotanical uses of medicinal plants, their phytochemical profiling, safety, and efficacy studies as well as their cultural and ecological context. This call for papers is expected to expand the knowledge base on how medicinal plants contribute toward the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), in this case, goal 15 (life on land).
Keywords: Antimicrobial; Conservation; Ethnopharmacology; Indigenous knowledge; Medicinal plants; Natural products; Phytomedicine.
