    Pharmacognosy is both traditional, like Ayurveda, and it also has modern pharmaceutical applications. Pharmacognosy looks at roles natural substances play in medicine not limited by medical system using them.

    Modern Pharmacognosy also incorporates biotechnology, molecular screening and standardization processes to validate both safety and efficacy of herbal drugs for use in mainstream health care.
