N2  - Medicinal Plants is not just a repetitive reproduction of available botanical information on 420 medicinal plants commonly used in Ayurveda but more than that. It provides valuable data to the botanist and to the medical clan. Besides classifying these plants into l 06 families, he places them in terms of Ayurveda qualities, like Raso, Guma, Virya and Upaka, and their inter-relationship. The chemical components and their therapeutic effects from the root to fruit are detailed. Identification of plants is vital to the medical system. Diagnostic external morphological characteristics of medicinal plants are provided through sketches. Dr. Joshi (author) knows it pretty well. He has done a commendable job to bring out our ancient knowledge for the benefit of English speaking scholars, even to the extent of explaining which part of a plant is useful to man, and which is poison. It will certainly help to raise Ayurvedic system of diagnosis and treatment to world standards. A useful book for doctors, researchers and students
