Introduction: Since the dawn of human civilization, plants and human beings have shared an intimate, interdependent relationship. Human survival has always been shaped by the availability of plant resources, which provide not only food, clothing, and shelter but also medicine, spirituality, and cultural identity. Across cultures, the importance of plants extends beyond sustenance to the healing of the body and mind. It is often said that there is no single phase of human existence where plants do not play a vital role. From birth (janam), through life (paran), and ultimately to death (maran), plants are deeply intertwined with human destiny.
