Old & New Herbal Remedies

Old & New Herbal Remedies

Herbal Therapy has become subject matters of common curiosity and pursuit for those caring for sustenance of good health by inexpensive and natural means and also for those who have suffered side-effects of antibiotics, or in general, the lacunae of modern science of medicine and pharmaceuticals. However, the scientific testing and implementation of herbal therapies are still confined to few research labs and traditional pharmaceutical companies. In most cases, specially in Overseas labs, many herbal drugs are being prepared ‘artificially’ using extraction of specific (phyto) chemicals.

The fact that synergistic plant medication, as guided in original texts of Ayurveda is risk-free and does not generate any negative or suppressive effects makes it an excellent complementary mode of healing. Our major objective in this book is to provide useful, authentic and innovative infor-mation on effective use of herbal/plant medicines. Ayurveda is known to be the origin of herbal therapeutic science. The main focus is laid on Ayurvedic preparations of Himalayan natural products at the Brahmvarchas Research Centre, Shantikunj, Hardwar (India). Thousands of people have been benefited from this therapy and got rid of diseases of different types and severity. Rare knowledge from the scriptures is also presented here.
