002 AYURVEDA IS NOT JUST ASVAGANDHA or BRAHMI आयुर्वेद सिर्फ अश्व गंधा या ब्राह्मी नहीं। ఆయుర్వేద అంటే కేవలం అశ్వగంధ మరియు బ్రాహ్మీ మాత్రమే కాదు


Some herbs in Aayurveda have been overworked while thousands of others remain as "cinderellas". The best examples for the overworked herbs are (Asvagandha or spelt as) Aswagandha (Withania Somnifera) and Brahmi (Bacopa Monniera). This is because these are readily available and readily marketable. Consequently herbal medicine has become an on the counter marketable shopping basket with limited number of herbs and every manufacturer creating his own brands on the same band of herbs.

PARTS USED IN TRADITIONAL MEDICINE

Roots, stem, bark, leaves, flowers, seeds, even the entire plant.

To continue. सशेष. సశేషం.
