IORA database is an online single platform search tool to study traditional knowledge, scientific research, and intellectual wealth of medicinal plants. It provides adequate information on botanical descriptions, distribution and local indigenous knowledge of medicinal plant species.
In recent years “phytochemicals” are more researched and explored by researchers and industries because of their beneficial health effects.
In IORA Database phytochemicals and their therapeutic uses are listed and linked to openly accessible PubChem database along with patented and non- patented traditional Indian medicinal formulations and marketed products. In past few decades demand for medicinal herbs is increasing as these markets expand and new end-uses are developing. To understand the market insights, market overview and trade details are available in the database.
