Thus, this book is a valuable resource for all researchers, students and professors involved in advancing global medicinal plant research.

Many plants found in South Africa are also found in other parts of the world. Each chapter highlights plants from other worldwide locations so that scientists can study which plants belong to the same family, and how similar qualities can be used to treat a specific disease.
