Question

Imagine that you want to start a factory to manufacture plant based medicines, beauty products and toothpastes. Which forest area would you choose in the vicinity of which you can start your factory and why?

Answer 1

I would locate my factory in tropical desert forests, which contain neem, babool, and date palm trees. Both Babool bark and gum, as well as Neem bark and roots, include therapeutic characteristics. It effectively manages diabetes, allergies, ulcers, and other disorders. Therefore, it can be used to create plant-based medications. Date palm is consumed raw and used as an astringent, decoction syrup, or paste to treat sore throats, colds, and fevers. Neem oil, leaves, and extracts are utilised in various health and beauty goods. Neem is also utilised as a pesticide. These trees can also be used to create cosmetics and toothpastes.
