Over the last five years, the consumption of natural products and natural medicines have grown rapidly. However, the global demand for such medicines is dependent on evidence-based research. Therefore, the applications of advanced technologies can revolutionise to bridge the gap between 'classical/traditional medicine' and natural products.
