Carotenoid content and composition in 20 medicinal plant species of traditional Malay midwifery postnatal bath

Today in Malay community, midwifery traditional knowledge of herbal medicine has disappeared and extinct. The facts are Malay midwives are becoming rare and the more crucial is medicinal plants are over-harvested. The aim of this research is to identify and investigate the active pharmaceutical ingr...
