Rajandeep Kaur and Harpreet Kaur

According to World Malaria Report (WHO 2014), there are approximately 250 million malaria cases and near about 1 million people die each year due to malaria. With the increase levels of malaria parasite drug resistance, the herbal knowledge of indigenous communities for malaria treatment can play an important role in identification of new antimalarial plants that is yet to be discovered.
