Herbal Remedies

This book offers remedies through the use of herbs commonly available in the market. This book discusses the properties of popular herbs, (their availability, alternative names, chemical composition, uses & benefits and caution) such as, Ashwagandha, Aloe vera, Asparagus (Shatawar), Neem, Basil, Bhringraj, Cardamom, Papaya, Brahmi, Quinine, Cinnamon, Amla, Ginger, Pudina, Poppy, Safed Musli, Shankapushpi, Baheda, Haritaki besides many more; and offers treatment for ailments, which every family faces at some point of time. Natural medicines often provide a safe, effective, and economical alternative to pharmaceuticals, and research validates this finding. Many modern drugs are actually derived from plants such as morphine from the opium poppy, digitalis from foxglove, and reserpine from rauwolfia. Herbs are less likely than pharmaceuticals to cause side effects which, when they do occur, are generally far milder. Herbs work physiologically to restore balance rather than simply targeting a symptom. As a result, herbs often tend to take effect more gradually than pharmaceuticals.
