Herbal Wealth - A Treatise On Forty Five Very Common Herbs And Plants

The increasing population of the country and the polluted environment are serious challenges to human life. Food grains and vegetables have been badly affected by the indiscriminate use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides. Today’s science has launched a campaign of victory over deadly diseases while a disease has taken birth in such a way that hardly anyone is untouched. The disease is “the lack of immunity in the body”. The previous epidemic of Corona was a challenge to mankind. Apart from this there are some poor families in rural areas who have to struggle hard for food. When they fall sick lack of money for medical treatment becomes the cause of their problems. Keeping all this in mind the Herbo Ved Foundation has tried to present a programme through which the masses can get health benefits by providing first aid. It is common for the spices used at home to be accessible to every family. By consuming them medicinally a healthy body can be maintained. The purpose of including spices in food was an attempt to prevent diseases. For example turmeric (haldi) in regular use prevents cancer and large cardamom is used to digest bananas. “Health & Spices” is the first part of the book based on common spices. In the second part there is a representation of ‘Health & Kitchen Garden’. In the third part “Health and Tree” and in the last part special and divine herbs viz. Gurmar (Gymnema) Kalmegh (Andrographis) Babool (Acacia) and Soma (the divine herb of immortality) Sanjeevani (the divine resuscitating herbs) and Kalpvriksha (divine tree) have been depicted. There may be many more herbs for inclusion in this series but the purpose is to make it compact and comprehensive.
