About the Book
The book "आयुर्वेदिक औषधियाँ और उनकी पहचान" is a valuable resource for individuals interested in Ayurveda and Indian medicinal plants. It is especially useful for Ayurveda graduates, Ayurvedic practitioners, and anyone interested in understanding the diverse herbs used in Ayurvedic medicine.

The book highlights the abundant Ayurvedic medicinal plants found in fields, orchards, and nearby forests that play a crucial role in Ayurvedic treatments. Many of these plants, which are often discarded as weeds or used as animal fodder, have immense medicinal value. If we recognize and understand them, we can save money by using these plants for treatment purposes or even manufacture medicines for patients. This can also lead to more effective and high-quality herbal treatments.

In recent years, the cost of Ayurvedic medicines has increased significantly, with the difference between cost and sale price reaching 10 to 20 times. However, the public often turns to Ayurvedic treatments because they are more affordable, or because they are provided free in healthcare settings.

This book offers an extensive description of Ayurvedic medicines used in India, including:

• Vernacular names, Sanskrit names, local names, and Latin names of plants.

• Family and types of the plants, as well as a detailed description of their structure (trees, climbers, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, etc.).

• Information on their origin, parts used for medicinal purposes, dosage, therapeutic properties, and use for various diseases.

• Practical Ayurvedic formulations and recipes for treating specific ailments.

• Special sections on climbing plants, thorny plants, and similar medicinal herbs that help in distinguishing between related species.

Additionally, the book provides:

• Lists of medicinal plants from Charak and Sushruta Samhita.

• A comprehensive catalog of herbal remedies used in different disease conditions according to modern perspectives.

As the world moves towards the use of herbal medicines, this book is an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand and utilize the vast variety of Ayurvedic herbs and their healing properties. It will serve as a useful reference for both professionals and individuals interested in herbal medicine and natural healing.
