“The day they found my brother with a blood stain, I found one on my kurta too, but no one noticed my blood stain.” Thus begins the story of a young girl in Kashmir as she goes through the turbulence of adolescence in her conflict-ridden world. While larger issues of terrorism, violence, and death engulf the hearts and minds of all those around her, she struggles to come to terms with her changing body and all that it entails. Left alone to deal with her constant questions, she experiences despair and loneliness but also shows resilience and hope in the faint knowledge that maybe it is not very different for all young girls around the world: “Is it the same for you?” she asks.  With powerful yet sensitive illustrations by Priya Sebastian, which infuse the story with a universality, this beautiful volume is a tender attempt in imagining the different strands of a young life in Kashmir—a place where the inner conflicts of voiceless, adolescent girls are often overshadowed by the political, religious, and military conflicts that are now a constant in everyday life.

Featuring traditional knowledge, the book Phytoadaptogenic Properties of Medicinal Plants offers an insight into diverse medicinal plants with their inherent phytotherapeutic characteristics. Since the prehistoric era, botanicals have been enlisted at the uppermost ladder in the survival of human existence. Though modern medicinal systems remain vital, at times of challenges or pandemics botanicals continue to serve as front liners, supporting people’s health and well-being by regulating the body’s inherent five defense systems such as angiogenesis, regeneration, DNA and epigenetics, microbiome, and immune system.The medicinal plants function as phytoadaptogens due to their intrinsic ability to modulate stress, depressive-like behaviors, and other comorbidities. The inherent plant bioactive constituents and essential nutrients are warriors in combating health challenges and illnesses. They work extraordinarily beyond providing nutrition.Key Features:· Covering traditional medicinal plants with emphasis on phytoadaptogenic properties, bioactive constituents, dosage, mechanism of action, etc.· Scrutinizing the inherent ability of botanicals in managing stress, cognitive health, immune modulation, and associated disorders.· Highlighting “how to cater medicinal plants into food pyramid to achieve balanced diet” by providing preparation methods for herbal products, functional foods, and nutraceuticals.· Key insights on regulatory framework, safety, risk analysis, and market trends of herbal products.Indeed, this book could bridge the industry-academia gap by amalgamating scientific investigations with practical applications, highlighting the regulatory aspects, dosage, adverse effects, and available herbal products, and could be a good guide for researchers, healthcare professionals, herbalists, and other academicians.

This book explores the promising potential of plant and microbe-derived compounds in drug discovery, offering insights into safer alternatives to synthetic drugs and highlighting the vital role of natural products in treating diseases with fewer side effects. Plants and microbes are a promising source for natural products with the potential to play a major role in drug discovery. Due to advances in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and medicine, the commercial pharmaceutical industry is growing across the globe. Currently, allopathy uses synthetic pharmaceutical drugs for the treatment of diseases, but this practice also exposes patients to significant side effects. Since ancient times, other systems of medicine have been developed that utilize plant-based extracts and molecules to treat various diseases with fewer side effects. While changes in lifestyle, including diet, have had a significant impact on the increased risks of various diseases, there is substantial scientific evidence, both epidemiological and experimental, that vegetables and fruits are key features of diets associated with lower risks of diseases such as cancers and infections. These efforts to identify and create medications from plants are leading to increased manufacturing for larger clinical trials. The continuing scientific research of medicinal plants will undoubtedly provide a wealth of novel, structurally varied, bioactive chemicals. This edited volume provides an overview of various medical systems, with a special focus on microbial and plant-based drug molecules for treating communicable and non-communicable diseases, making it an invaluable resource for researchers, scientists, and practitioners interested in the potential of plant- and microbe-derived secondary metabolites in the ongoing search for innovative, effective, and safer medicines.
