Prime Ayurvedic Plant Drugs

This handbook covers the medicinal and chemical properties of Ayurvedic  medicines, the plants that produce them and the currently known organic  compounds that occur therein. It provides therapeutic attributes of each  plant as well as indicates its potential for use as modern herbal or  molecular drug. It combines the works of Ayurvedic folk medicine with  modern pharmacology, botany, and chemistry in a singularly effective  way. It also provides a useful standardization of classical Ayurvedic  formulations. Consisting of numerous photographs of medicinal plants,  this handbook will serve as an excellent reference work for chemists,  botanists, pharmacists, and medical professionals.
