“…Literature regarding "medicinal plants" describes the potential of PHC in disease prevention on the individual level through holistic care interventions, for example, Ayurveda complementary therapies. On a population level, this literature emphasizes that although interventions of conventional medicines dominate in the western countries, three quarters of the world population rely on herbal and traditional medicine as a basis for PHC because of its affordability, accessibility, and long cultural history (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31). As traditional medicinal knowledge is disappearing, PHC has the potential to conserve and integrate this knowledge as a response to the growing demand for traditional healing, also in western countries (28,32).…”

“…As traditional medicinal knowledge is disappearing, PHC has the potential to conserve and integrate this knowledge as a response to the growing demand for traditional healing, also in western countries (28,32). Further, literature regarding both "nature-based care" and "medicinal plants" underlines a reduction in consumption and costs of PHC as a result of the preventive and therapeutic potential of the presented interventions (29,(33)(34)(35)(36)(37). Literature regarding "infectious diseases" and "natural disasters" describes the potential of PHC in disease control and prevention only on the population level through early interventions during the detection and treatment of diseases (38)(39)(40).…”

Nature's contributions to human health (NCH) have gained increased attention internationally in scientific and policy arenas. However, little attention is given to the role of the health care sector in this discussion. Primary health care (PHC) is a vital backbone for linking knowledge and practice within the organization of health care. The objective of this scoping review is to evaluate how international overview reports and scientific literature on NCH address to PHC. More specifically, we extracted data on arguments, practice supporting tools and guidelines, challenges and constraints, and management approaches to integrate NCH and PHC. The scientific literature search was run in Web of Science. Two independent reviewers screened the scientific publications. Through the scientific literature search, we identified 1,995 articles of which 79 were eligible for analysis. We complemented the search with a selection of six international overview reports. Both the international overview reports and the scientific publications paid limited attention to the role of PHC regarding NCH. To cope with the current challenges and constraints to integrate NCH and PHC, more evidence on NCH, further development of PHC practice supporting tools, bottom-up integrated approaches, and closer interdisciplinary collaborations are required.

Amongst many useful herbs, Picrorhiza kurroa Royle ex Benth. is considered a bitter drug, used in treating liver disorders since antiquity. A bitter extract of P. kurroa, rich in iridoid glycosides has hepatoprotective, anticholestatic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune modulating activities. In an effort to explore possibilities for future use of some useful herbal formulations, often some important herbs are ignored, one such plant is P. kurroa. Thus, an effort has been made in reviewing the available literature about the plant in the most common texts which would provide an insight for the use of this herb against various diseases like disorders of the liver, upper respiratory tract and more recently against hyperlipidemia. Hyperlipidemia mostly contributes to the prevalence and severity of coronary heart diseases and treatment of these diseases using herbal formulations is cheap and easily available. The possible mechanism suggested and proposed for this hypothesis demonstrates that P. kurroa improves gall bladder secretions, thus helping in the digestion and metabolism of fats and it thus becomes very effective in regulating fat metabolism in the liver.
