genus Ferula, geographical distribution, pharmacological applicationAbstract
The article examines and analyzes plants of the Ferula family from the standpoint of geographical distribution and pharmacological use. Due to this, methods of bibliographic analysis, marketing and comparative analysis were used to get the main provisions of the study. The varieties of Ferula were studied by the geography of growth and processing, pharmacological technology of use, marketing opportunities of the Aral Sea region as a valuable resource for economic and medical purposes. This study is largely based on the works of scientific researchers from different countries and data from official sources, the results of which are of great value for the implementation of an innovative project by local medical and pharmaceutical specialists in the field of comprehensive study of plants of the Ferula family growing in the special ecological conditions of the region
