AYURVEDA
Ayurveda is a health discipline, which began centuries ago in ancient India. With its roots in the early Hindu religion, ayurveda is an overall approach to physical and mental well-being.Herbal medicine was the most common medical treatment in most cultures for many years.
Traditionally, plants were the source of many useful drugs, including the anti-malarial drug Quinine, from the bark of the Chicona tree, the pain killer Morphine, from Poppies, and the heart drug Digitalis, from the Foxglove plant.
Other landmarks in drug development from natural sources are: Aspirin, Penicillin, Smallpox Vaccine and Sulfonamides.
In medicine, most drugs that were originally derived from plants have now been replaced by pure preparations of the active ingredients. Plants continue to be valuable source of new substances that might prove to be effective drugs.
