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-
motion 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.
