Abstract :

According to the available documents of Avicenna, it has been common in Iran for many years to trade medicinal plants to many countries of the world and to import spices to the country. Therefore, we have learned enough knowledge to prepare herbal medicines for the treatment of society from our philosophers and fathers. Therefore, very valuable methods have been recorded by scientists at different times, and now we are using them well. For sure, these traditional methods can be cited and used for various industries. In this research, I will refer to the native plants of our country, which have great value in treatment and world trade. Plant species such as rose, thyme, chamomile, marigold, and mint are among them, which are widely used in traditional and industrial ways. It has also found a special place in employment and trade.
