Over the last few decades, interest has grown in the problem of maintaining and recovering man’s micro-ecological status. Researchers have resorted to natural fito drugs to solve this problem, making a comparative analysis of the Tamarix plant in the Astrakhan region. As a result, they have noted that the Tamarix has a large stock-size in the Astrakhan region. Consequently it could be used as a source of raw medical materials on an industrial scale. It could also be used to control the erosion of the coasts and waterways, as well as to help maintain the variety of the forest shelter lands.
