Abstract
Herbal remedies have a therapeutic effect and are acceptable interventions for diseases and symptoms. Interestingly, demand for medicinal plants is progressively rising in industrialized nations as it is in developing countries (Abere et al., 2010). The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that about 80% of the developing world‘s population meets their primary healthcare needs through traditional medicine (Abere et al., 2010; Calixto, 2000; Green, 2000; Jadeja et al., 2011). About 25% of drugs prescribed and dispensed in the United States contain at least one active component derived from plant matter.
