Medicinal and Aromatic Plants form a major segment of the flora, which provides resources for use in the pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and drug industries. The medicinal plants in different drug industries are of immense significance due to an increase in the production of biomass produced without the use of harmful chemicals. The medicinal and aromatic plant species under organic agriculture helps in the improvement of yield as well as quality due to well use of organic fertilizers and microbial symbiosis. However, the question on the relative benefits of both the conventional and organic farming systems in recent times gained considerable interest. The global agricultural development has focused on increased productivity rather than on integrated natural resource management for food security. Thus, increasing more sustainable farming practices on a large scale is of maximum importance. Organic farming and practices enhance farm productivity and profitability, soil health (soil fertility and productivity), etc. Organic farming, biodynamic farming, and ecological farming are the main components of the natural way of farming. Natural farming is self-sufficient but it is complicated to meet our requirement to feed the increasing population and food security. Conversely, chemical farming yields a large amount but poses severe harms for soil, environment, and human health. There is a path in between above mentioned two types of systems of farming, that is organic farming and its aim is to create integrated, humane, environmentally and economically agricultural production systems, which capitalize dependence on farm-derived renewable resources and the management of ecological and biological processes and interactions to provide an acceptable level of the crop, livestock and human nutrition, protection from pests and diseases and an appropriate return to the human and other resources employed.As a result of the optimistic influence of organic components in medicinal and aromatic plant species cropping system, those farmers who adopted organic farming management practices, have found an approach to improve the overall quality of their soil, or at least repress the deterioration established productive capacity for future generations. So, organic farming of medicinal and aromatic plant species is a technical modern concept and is an environmentally friendly method. This study has been mainly focused on the impact of organic farming on the overall growth and yield of medicinal and aromatic plant species.
