Dear Students,

 I am very glad to welcome you all  to use this blog to post your creative research regarding various medicinal herbs.

Nepal has always been the center of herbal richness with more than ten thousand species of herbs in its alpine belt. The medical herbs databases listing for Nepal shows 1,624 species of medical and aromatic species. These herbs have been integral part of traditional medicine practices of  indigenous community in Nepal. Seeing the same impact and long history of herbal use, these herbs of Nepal are now exported to many countries and companies for medical purposes. Many big companies import such herbs to make medical extract and derivatives which are used in treating various diseases and health deficiency.

As mentioned above Nepal is considered rich in diverse species of medicinal herbs. Most of us are unaware about  the potentiality  of these natural gift for socio- economic development. Medicinal herbs farming and processing can be  one good occupation that people can do staying within the country. This is a way to generate employment opportunity within the country which ultimately contribute to the sustainable development of community, society and nation as whole.

Thus, I would like to request all the students to blog your project activities as instructed in the classroom. We can learn and share about different varieties of medicinal herbs with their processing and uses as well.
