    Pharmacognosy serves as a cornerstone of drug discovery, as numerous medicines are derived from natural sources. It involves studying bioactive compounds, isolating them, and developing them into therapeutic agents.

    Natural products often provide chemical frameworks that inspire synthetic drugs, making Pharmacognosy a vital starting point for innovation in pharmaceutical research and development.
