The Aba Annayev International Academy of Horse Breeding in Arkadag city hosted a presentation of the 16th volume of the encyclopedic work "Medicinal Plants of Turkmenistan" by the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Hero-Arkadag.

Speakers at the event discussed the rich world of medicinal plants that grow in Turkmenistan and have been used since ancient times in traditional herbal medicine. Professor Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, Academician of the country’s Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Medical Sciences, made a significant contribution to their scientific study and the compilation of the experiences of traditional healers.

It was noted that the encyclopedia of medicinal flora created by the National Leader of the Turkmen people serves as a reference book for scientists and specialists in various medical fields in Turkmenistan. Its translation into many foreign languages has made its unique information accessible to millions of readers abroad. The encyclopedia contains information about numerous types of local medicinal herbs, roots and fruits, detailed descriptions of their healing properties, methods of use in both scientific and traditional medicine, and reflects centuries-old experiences and traditions of their use by the Turkmen people.

The meeting emphasized that the newly released volume of Hero-Arkadag's book "Medicinal Plants of Turkmenistan" is based on folk healing experience passed down through generations, using natural medicinal preparations that are also popular in the modern world. In this regard, the creation of a multi-volume encyclopedia dedicated to the healing properties of Turkmenistan's medicinal plants is an important step not only in the development of national pharmaceutical science but also in global herbal medicine. Participants also expressed their anticipation for new works by the National Leader of the Turkmen people, which embody ongoing care for the health and well-being of the Turkmen people.
