phytotherapy
Phytotherapy is the therapeutic application of plants and plant-derived compounds for medicinal purposes, established through pharmacognosy research. This field is significant to plant science because it validates the medicinal potential of plant biodiversity, drives research into the biochemical mechanisms and secondary metabolites responsible for therapeutic effects, and emphasizes the importance of sustainable harvesting and conservation practices.
