Abstract

Pharmacognosy, the study of medicinal plants and natural products, has witnessed substantial progress in recent years. Technological advancements, such as high-throughput screening, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bioactive compounds. The advent of omics technologies—genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics—has furthered our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of natural products.

Keywords: Pharmacognosy; Chinese Medicine; Complementary and Integrative Medicine
