Plants are known to contain innumerable biologically active compounds, which possess antibacterial properties. Medicinal components from plants play an important role in conventional plant derived medicine. They have been a part of the evolution of human healthcare for thousands of years. Now a day, nearly eighty percent of the global population turns to plant derive medicines as their first line of defense for maintaining health and combating diseases.
