Description

Although ethnopharmacological knowledge is prevalent and crucial in tribal 
communities, a large portion of it is, at most, subjective and has not been verified by 
science. Even though plant resources are widely used in conventional drugs, only few 
plant species have had bioassay analyses done to look into their medicinal qualities and 
confirm the safety and effectiveness of conventional treatments.
This paper examines the current role of ethnopharmacological research in drug 
discovery (particularly in relation to the American and European markets) and the 
advancement of these phytotherapeutical resources for local use in their countries of 
origin. It also discusses some examples of ethnopharmacological studies carried out in 
the past 200 years.
