According to World Health Organization report, over 80% of the world population relies on plant-based traditional medicine for their primary healthcare needs.
Food and diet are important components of Ayurvedic practice, and so there is a heavy reliance on treatments based on herbs and plants, oils, common spices, and other naturally occurring substances.
The Indian Systems of Medicine have identified 1,500 medicinal plants, of which 500 species are mostly used in the preparation of drugs. These medicinal plants contribute to 80% of the raw materials used in the preparation of Ayurvedic Medicine.
This blog is dedicated to Ayurvedic Herbs found in and around Goa consisting of photographs taken by me along with their description such as Botanical Names/Indian Names/Sanskrit Names/Common Names & their uses in the field of Ayurvedic Medicine.
