Description

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.

Although many modern drugs are originally developed from plants, they are based on isolated chemicals, while plants as such comprise myriad active components, which work together to create their medicinal actions.

Preface
T his book grew out to meet the burgeoning need for more professional knowledge about non-mainstream approaches in physical and mental well being. This need to spread awareness has been fueled by the huge consumer-driven trend toward these treatments over the last 2-3 decades. This text aims to provide a reader with cutting edge information from many diverse areas of alternative, complementary, and innovative clinical practice in the area of physical well being and emotional health. The purpose of this work is threefold:
1. To offer a broader, deeper view of information from areas that, although outside mainstream practice, are having an increasing impact and demand.
2. To offer a sense of the level of scientific research and experience associated with complementary and supplementary fields in the area of total health.
3. To further explore and incorporate new treatment options. This text, while not exhaustive, provides a fair overview from the cutting edge of change in health care practices. The overall layout of this ‘Alternative Health Care Series’ demonstrates the body-mind-spirit premise that permeates diverse field of treatment. By its very nature, this type of book is more focused on divisions and separations--different topics, different sections, and different treatments. Each section begins with a description of the treatment, its safety and/or contraindications, scientific documentation of its efficacy, discussion of which ailment it is best used for, and other important references. Time has come for physicians, clinicians and therapists to have a look at how the marriage of conventional health care to complementary and alternative therapies can offer improved diagnosis than either can alone. The text will offer them more knowledge, a broader viewpoint, and greater option to practice and care for those under their care and attention.

Herbal Remedies
F or thousands of years, in ancient India, China and in other countries, remedies from medicinal plants have cured a lot of people from all kinds of diseases. Herbal remedies also usually do not cause any side effects. Tradition of medicinal plants use in India is about 4000 years old. In the Ayurveda, about 1400 plants are documented in various texts. In Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita and Ashtang Hridaya we can find more than 600 plants. Rig Veda (4500 to about 1600 BC) is perhaps the oldest document where medicinal plants have been described. Atharva Veda, also describes medicinal uses of large number of plants. Another treatise Dravya Guna Shastra provides information about medicinal plants from pharmacological point of view. Similarly, Unani and other systems of medicine practiced in India are largely dependent on medicinal plants. The wider acceptance of herbal based formulations is the growing recognition that natural products are non-narcotic and almost without side effects.
The Indian systems of treatment lay adequate stress on balanced diet and on inclusion of specific items in food to provide immunity against diseases. Also, number of plants products with medicinal properties form constituents of food. Even spices are being found to have medicinal properties. For example, capsicum, garlic, turmeric, onion, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, curry leaf etc. have been found to protect against various health problems as well provide cure from certain diseases. Tamarind is used in curries, chutneys, sauces etc. as spice. Its unripe fruit is used for seasoning of food. Its pulp is rich in iron, calcium, potassium, phosphorous, riboflavin, thiamine, niacin, carbohydrates, fibre, invert sugar etc.
Vitamin C is present in substantial quantity in green fruits. Amla has been used as such or for ‘chutney’, pickle, ‘murabba’ etc. ‘Charaka Samhita’ records it as the most potent rejuvenating agent. Modern studies have proved that amla is extremely rich in vitamin C and Pectin, containing more than 150 times vitamin C compared to apple. Amla is an effective anti-ageing agent. It replaces worn out tissues with new ones. Contribution made by the Indian systems of medicines and folk traditions have been acknowledged by the WHO (World Health Organization) as well.
India has about 15000 species of medicinal plants. Presently about 8000 of these are in use as follows: Ayurveda 1769 species, Siddha - 1121 species , Unani - 751 species Amchi or Tibetan 279, Folk - 4671 species India ranks second in the world after China in export of medicinal plants. The global trade of medicinal plants stands at $7,592 million in 2011, and of these China and India’s share was around $1,329 million and $790 million respectively.
Medicinal plants based industry in the country has an annual turn over of about Rs.42,000/-million per year and it is estimated to grow at the rate of about 20 per cent per year. There are hundreds of manufacturers and exporters in the country who are bene
