About The Book

The hills and oceans of India contain a variety of medicinal plants, which have been used traditionally for treatment of various diseases. Most of these plants are known to the local tribes and remains scientifically unexplored. Books on medicinal plants or spices are available in the market but a book dealing together with both medicinal plants and spices is quite new. This book contains a variety of topics and is the first of its kind that deals exclusively with traditional and medicinal uses, cultivation, preservation, processing and trade of not only medicinal plants but also spices. Moreover, this book provides valuable information o the current status of research related to herbal medicines throughout the country and tries to explain the folklore and traditional uses in terms of modern scientific findings. The data in this book will be specially of use to pharmacists, analysts, botanists, toxicologists, chemists, pharmacognosists and biochemists.
