This research paper is written with the aim to investigate the efficiency of natural products, specially targeting on Taxol, Artemisinin, and Ginkgo Biloba. Those three drugs are the substances extracted from the natural products. While Taxol is mainly anti-cancer, Artemisinin is anti-malarial, and the Ginkgo Biloba is antioxidant. According to the several studies and database, the claim is that those natural product drugs are petty effective on treating specific disease. For the future expectations, there should be more clinical trials that identifying the safety, efficiency, optimal dosages and other treating diseases.
