Elderberry has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for colds and flu, but recent studies have uncovered its impressive immune-boosting properties. Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, elderberry may help reduce the duration and severity of cold and flu symptoms. Its antiviral properties make it a valuable addition to natural wellness routines, especially during cold and flu season.

5. The Promise of Probiotics

Gut health has received a lot of attention in recent years, and for a good reason. Research has shown that the health of our gut microbiome plays a crucial role in our overall well-being. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that help restore and maintain a healthy gut flora, which supports digestion, immune function, and even mental health. With an increasing number of probiotic-rich foods and supplements available, improving gut health has never been easier.

6. The Magic of Manuka Honey

Manuka honey has long been cherished for its healing properties, but recent studies have revealed even more about its incredible benefits. With high levels of antioxidants and antibacterial properties, manuka honey may aid in wound healing, relieve digestive issues, and even promote oral health. Its unique properties have positioned it as a sought-after natural product in the health and wellness community.

7. The Efficacy of Essential Oils

Essential oils have been used for centuries for their therapeutic properties, but recent research has provided scientific validation of their efficacy. From lavender for relaxation to peppermint for headaches, essential oils offer a natural and versatile solution for various ailments. The popularity of aromatherapy and the use of essential oils in skincare and personal care products continue to soar.

8. The Surprising Benefits of Mushroom Supplements

Mushrooms have been valued for their medicinal properties in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Recent research has confirmed their potential in supporting immune function, reducing inflammation, and even fighting cancer. Mushroom supplements, such as reishi and lion's mane, are gaining popularity as natural alternatives for overall well-being.

9. The Fascinating World of Herbal Teas

Herbal teas have long been favored for their soothing properties and health benefits, but recent advancements have brought their potential to new heights. With a wide range of flavors and health benefits, herbal teas offer a natural way to promote relaxation, aid digestion, and boost immunity. From chamomile to ginger, there's a herbal tea for every wellness need.

10. The Future of Natural Skincare

The skincare industry has taken notice of the increasing demand for natural products, leading to exciting advancements in natural skincare formulations. From plant-based ingredients to sustainable packaging, natural skincare brands are prioritizing ingredient transparency and eco-conscious practices.

Natural products have been used by human society for millennia. New drug discovery being a complex and interdisciplinary enterprise has remained in continuous focus due to its great successes as well as failures. Despite what appears to be a slow death of natural products discovery research, many new and interesting molecules with biological activity have been published in the past few years. If natural products materials continue to be tested for desirable therapeutics activities, I believe that significant progress in identifying new antibiotics, oncology therapeutics and other useful medicines will be made. Recent study shows that the most of the leads from natural products have been from either plant or microbial sources collected from different habitats, especially marine environments could provide many novel chemicals. However, natural products research needs to turn over a new side; continued collection, extraction and screening of natural samples is not enough in this changing world. Science is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary and natural products research is shifting that way as well. In keeping with the above objectives, every effort has been made to edit this book receiving articles based on natural products from plants (Section-A) and microbial origin (Section-B), covering isolation, structure elucidations, biosynthesis, biological evaluation, bioprospecting of natural products. Attempt has been made to bring together recent progress and current trends in the field of natural products from different parts of the world. Although, there are a number of books available on natural products, this book has unique contributions in the form of chapters from experts in the field of chemistry, biology and bioinformatics against problematic infectious diseases and cancer. The primary intention to edit this book is to attract the post graduate students and stimulate their interest on natural products. So, the topics in this book have been carefully selected. Diverse methods for antimicrobial, antioxidants, antiviral, anticancer, antimutagenic, anti-inflammatory activities, has been elaborately discussed. The book also covers the source of natural products from different diversity such as mangrove and terrestrial plants, mushrooms, microalgae and marine microorganisms. Moreover, the book highlights telomerase inhibition and apoptosis induction, probiotics and functional foods in health benefits and metabolic pathway designing and epitope mapping of bacteria responsible for whooping cough which are different aspects in the field of natural products. Studies on essential oils from plants, plant-based remedies for management of diarrhea, microbial diversity and bioprospecting fungal endophytes and novel secondary metabolites from microalgae are also interesting chapters leading to natural products discovery. This book is proposed to cover recent trends in natural products and future perspectives especially in human health in dissimilar aspects. It is intended that this book will be useful to students, teachers and researchers in universities, R & D institutions and pharmaceutical industries.
