Many plants and herbs like Turmeric, Ashwagandha, and Neem contain bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties, which are being studied in contemporary research. By combining ancient knowledge with modern pharmacological techniques, researchers can develop novel therapeutics, ensure safety and efficacy, and promote personalized and preventive medicine.
