AB  - The sixteenth volume of the encyclopedia Medicinal Plants of Turkmenistan continues the study of the richest heritage bequeathed to us by our ancestors. This heritage consists of the numerous works of outstanding ancient scholars and physicians, together with the accumulated folk experience through which our people, by virtue of their unique talents and skills, came to understand the diversity of their generous homeland. In this volume, I attempt to reveal the medicinal properties of native plant species that have long been widely used in traditional medicine.Using a scientific approach, I have examined the customs, traditions, and various methods of preparing medicinal plants in folk medicine. These methods, refined over centuries by our ancestors, have become a treasured part of the Turkmen nation's cultural wealth. Taking into account the achievements of modern world medicine related to medicinal plants, and drawing upon scientific knowledge accumulated from antiquity to the present day, I have sought throughout the preceding volumes of this work to acquaint readers with plant-based remedies of Turkmenistan and their therapeutic properties.In my view, the study of the ethnobotanical and ethnomedical aspects of the medicinal plants of Turkmenistan is an urgent and important task of our time.I dedicate this work, inspired by boundless love for my homeland and people and by profound respect for the unique experience of harmonious coexistence between our ancestors and nature, to all readers interested in the rich plant world of our country and its ancient traditions of folk medicine.The land of Turkmenistan is rich in medicinal plants. More than 2,000 species are used in folk medicine, and over 500 of them are endemic members of the flora of Turkmenistan. Given the ancient folk-medical traditions associated with these endemic medicinal plants, I believe they are fully deserving of inclusion on the UNESCO World Natural and Cultural Heritage List.The publication of the
