ABOUT THE BOOK: This book on Medicinal Herbs has been compiled and written mainly for medical, pharmaceutical and research scientists who are today or may in future to be concerned with the identity, efficasy and safety of Indian Medicinal Plants as well as of other countries. This book describes and illustrates more than 500 species of the most important medicinal plants and provides information on their habitats and growing conditions. The authors have tried to give as much as possible information including the latest scientific findings. The toxicities of some medicinal plants and the need for their careful handling are emphasized throughout the book. All readers will find something of value and also this book may enkindle serious interest in therapeutic use and clinical research on medicinal plants. This book is not a uniform or systematic encyclopedia of medicinal plants but what has been attempted here is to provide a focus on medicinal plants limiting the number of indications and formulations in a pragmatic manner to enlist a global interest in India's rich flora with a therapeutic potential of unprecedented magnitude.
In this book, by using the avenues of documented ayurvedic experience and informed dialogue on modem data as well as traditional literature, author want to emphasise that this work has historical and contemporary validity that will advance as the therapeutic use of the single plant and their formulation grows worldwide. Human history has shown that multiple options do exist for safeguarding health. To avoid any mistakes in identification any differences between the plants and other similar species have been highlighted.
