Abstract

Mother Nature endowed this planet with abundant valuable medicinal plant resources, commonly used in traditional medicinal practices. Millions of grants money also used to conduct various types of research on medicinal plants around the world to prove their efficacy to cure various diseases. However, the currently available research evidence on the curative values of these medicinal plants against multiple diseases is mostly found as research publications. The good future of various significant therapeutic findings reported by the world researchers and scientists on medicinal plants purely depends on how this finding could reach the patient\'s bed to be utilized by the patient. It is a great challenge to bring the laboratory bench findings to the patient bed. Therefore, it is essential to take considerable effort and actions to benefit all the crucial conclusions of the laboratory findings by the patient. Hence, the present review was attempted to explore how to brings the laboratory bench findings on medicinal plants to patient beds as a productive medicinal plant’s-based therapeutics products. In this review, we discussed various issues including, therapeutic usage of medicinal plants and their extracts, formulation, safety, quality control, regulatory guidelines for marketing medicinal plants, clinical trial of medicinal plants on human subjects, the role of modern and traditional medical practitioners in the usage of medicinal plants, and finally, various medicinal plant preparation for delivery to patients.
