A plant is identifed that has a unique effect on humans or has been used in traditional or herbal cures for some diseases. The active component that exerts the effect or treats the disease is isolated, described, improved and tested for increased action. If it meets several availability, safety, activity and profitability criteria it is produced with the intention of becoming a medicine which must pass a thorough review by certain medical bodies (ie the FDA in the US)
