This document discusses various medicinal plants, herbs, and minerals that are commonly used in herbal medicine systems by different human cultures. It notes that the World Health Organization found around 20,000 plant species are used for medicinal purposes globally, but only about 250 have been thoroughly studied for their active chemical compounds. The document then provides a list of 52 common drugs that are standardized for bulk purchase by the Animal Husbandry Department, including details on their actions, uses, dosages and incompatibilities.
