Medicinal Plants of Laos

This website is to provide information about medicinal plants of the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR or Laos), based on collaborative research between scientists at the Institute of Traditional Medicine (ITM), Ministry of Health, Vientiane, Lao PDR, the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and the Field Museum of Natural History (FMNH), Chicago, USA.

This site is being continually updated. There are thousands of medicinal plants in Laos, and we will try to post information about as many as possible.
