Safed Musli, like most other medicinal plants, is a widely wild-harvested species that finds itself on the verge of extinction. Notified by the Government as an endangered species, mainstream cultivation is the only means by which it can be preserved and its medicinal benefits passed on for the posterity. A growing awareness of the excellent marketable potential of Safed Musli is beginning with the active propagation and promotion of its commercial cultivation by various agencies.
