Overview

Infection control from plants is a method of preventing the spread of infectious diseases through the use of plant-derived products. Plants have been used for centuries to combat pathogens, and modern research has produced a wide range of antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal substances from plants, which can be used to reduce the risk of infections in humans, animals, and the environment. Plant extracts can be used to create natural preservatives and disinfectants, which are safe to use and effective against a broad range of pathogens. The use of plants for infection control is a cost-effective and sustainable solution, as it does not require the use of expensive synthetic chemicals. It is a great way to improve public health and reduce the risk of infection.
