Book Synopsis
There is considerable and growing interest in the Western World in medicinal plants and herbal drugs. In fact there is increasing debate to bring these products under legislative control in line with synthetic drugs. The Indian subcontinent is the source of many plants of medicinal importance. This book provides botanical descriptions and information on the medicinal properties of 545 plant species from central and southern India, many of which are also found elsewhere in the world. Scientific and common names (in 14 languages) are provided for each species, and they are superbly illustrated with high quality colour photographs. Main Themes: Uses of Indian plants in traditional medicine (Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, folk and tribal medicine), botanical descriptions, local common names, geographical ranges and habitat information on Indian medicinal plants.
