According to WHO out of an estimated total of 50 million deaths annually in the world more than 5 million are attributed to cancer and the number of deaths from cancer throughout the world is increasing. Today medicine has its roots in to natural plant products. Most of the drugs in plants accumulated in several years and sometimes the required plants may not be available or is inadequate but the production of the formulation will be required to meet the demand. In this context it is note worthy that the international market for herbal products is estimated at U.S. dollars 62 billion and as per WHO projections it is expected to rise to U.S. dollars 5 trillion by 2050 A.D. Cancer is thus regarded as an emerging health problem in India. 416 pp.

The growing economy of the developing world particularly in East and South Asia are leading to increasing urbanization industrialization and motorization. Urban areas have almost half the population of many of these countries. Manufacturing and services once distant competitors to the largely agrarian economies have together surpassed agricultural contributions. Vehicles have exploded to keep pace with rising incomes and needs. With the developing world there is also an increase in the number of chronic diseases like asthma arthritis diabetes etc. Although most people have heard of asthma few know exactly what asthma is or how seriously it affects the lives of people of all ages all around the world. Asthma is a respiratory disease that is chronic which means that it is always present and there is no cure for the condition. For those that live with the condition their lungs airways and breathing passages are very sensitive more sensitive than other non asthmatic people. This sensitivity leads to inflamed and swollen breathing passages that make breathing difficult. In addition the muscles that control the breathing passages begin to spasm pulling the already inflamed air passages tighter together and there is a marked decrease in the size of the airways sometimes even complete closure resulting in asthma. 416 pp.

The breakdown of cartilage causes the bones to rub against each other causing stiffness pain and loss of movement in the joint. Osteoarthritis is known by many different names including degenerative joint disease Osteoarthrosis hypertrophy arthritis and degenerative arthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis is traditionally considered a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack the joints. It is a disabling and painful inflammatory condition which can lead to substantial loss of mobility due to pain and joint destruction.

Hippocrates the father of Medicine (460 357 B.C.) said that nature cures not the physician. He also advocated that your food shall be your medicine. Home remedies for common diseases is an old age practice that has been passed down from one generation to the other. They are based on the knowledge that most natural foods like fruits vegetables cereal grains seeds and nuts as well as other natural substances possess many medicinal virtues. These natural foods and substances have been tried and refined as natural cures in different countries. Research has proved many of these cures to be astonishingly effective. The living proof is that our ancestors with the help of these cures lived a happier healthier and longer life than the present generation. The tribal communities have a traditional self developed system of folk medicine and primary health care methods mainly based on herbal remedies. The use of plants as medicine can be traced back to the Vedic period. India has rich diversified flora which provides a valuable storehouse of medicinal plants. Emphetic knowledge about vast resources of herbs and other plants having curative properties is prevailing in rural people. Plants are more intimately connected with the life of the rural people than perhaps anywhere else in India. 286 pp.

Man depended on bioresources of his survival and sustenance since immemorial time. Obviously in the earliest times the primitive man acquired knowledge since he was very close to the nature. He was equipped with deep and discerning acquaintance with the ambient plant world. This acquaintance led him to unavoidable experimentation through which was channelized his knowledge of properties of several plant species beneficial or even harmful in nature. This knowledge gradually became in later periods an integral part of his culture which has been passed from generation to generation with certain modifications improvements or even deletions. Our ancestors had a wide range of medicinal herbs at their disposal and that they likewise have in depth understanding of medicinal herbs. Even until the last century every community village or hamlets had a wealth of herbal folklore of common health problems. They used them in the form of certain recipes like lotions teas poultices ointment etc. On the advent of waves of modernization and acculturation the golden lore of our ancestors was on the wane. 312 pp.
