Iran is a fortunate country with a high level of plant biodiversity and 11 of the world's 13 climates. Botanists and experts estimate that there are about 8000 medicinal plant species, which is at least double the variety of the European continent. Over 2300 plant species in the country offer medicinal and aromatic characteristics, and could be exploited as spices and cosmetics, according to studies. Because of the wide variety of medicinal plants found in Iran, businessmen have set their sights on exporting these goods. The Iranian region is home to a wealth of medicinal plants as well as a magnificent legacy of knowledge passed down from generation to generation about natural cures for a variety of diseases and disorders. The study of this legacy is still in its early stages today. The goal of this study was to look into the ethnobotanical knowledge of Iranian Medicinal and Aromatic Plants that are used for Bioactivities and Industrial Applications. The bibliographic investigation revealed ethnobotanical studies undertaken in Iranian area, as shown in Table 1. When ethnobotanical research are compared to traditional medicine-inspired scientific investigations, it is clear that most Iranian traditional herbal medicines have yet to be considered scientifically.
