Compendium Indian Medicinal Plants (20 results)

Hardcover. Condition: As New. "This detailed treatise is written for botanists, chemists and biologists as companion volume to "Glossary of Indian Medicinal Plants" by Chopra, Nayar and Chopra. It covers the onward period of 35 years from 1960 to 1994 spread over two ten year and three five-year volumes. "Volume 1 (1960-69) was published in February, 1990, Volume 2 (1970-80) in April, 1991 and Volume 3 (1980-84) in May, 1993. The reprint editions of these volumes have come out in 1993 and 1995. Thereafter, Volume 4 (1985-89) was published in July, 1995 and Volume 5 (1990-94) in August, 1998. "A uniform format followed in these volumes starts with an "Explanatory introduction" explaining the logistics of the write-up. The text on each plant also includes new type of data/information viz. chemical structures of new compounds and biological work on pure constituents isolated from a plant. "The volume 6 is the cumulative plant index. It contains names of all the plants, inclusive of synonyms listed in these volumes with page numbers. This would prove extremely handy to the readers to locate if and where the desired plant is described in these volumes. "In addition, it has been possible to compile an errata of volumes 1 to 4 which has been added on in this volume. Its incorporation by the readers in their respective volumes, would greatly minimize the risk of erroneous citation. "The consolidation of data of this just bygone 35 years period which has witnessed an unprecedented proliferation of data both in terms of quality and quantity in these volumes complete with cumulative index, will be welcomed by all those working on medicinal plants/natural products, who will appreciate that such a wealth of information has been assembled in classified manner.".

"Indian Medicinal Plants, based on a treatise prepared by S. Raghunatha Iyer, a scholar of both Sanskrit and ayurveda, aims to make an authoritative contribution to the field. The original work which drew on classical texts, current research as well as the oral medical knowledge of tribal groups has been updated by scholars associated with the Arya Vaidya Sala in Kottakkal, India. This unique compendium offers profiles of 500 key species with detailed taxonomic information. One of the lead features of this compilation is the special technique used in the illustrations, both colour and line, which aims to achieve authenticity of texture, colour and form. The outline information includes distribution and the popular nomenclature in English, Sanskrit, Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil. The main texts present properties and uses in a format which cites ancient verse texts and ethnobotanical sources. "This rare work in five volumes should be of special interest to practitioners of alternative medicine, students of ayurveda, the research and industry associated with medical botany, pharmacologists, sociologists and medical herbalists. The compendium should also be of relevance to the fields of ethnobotany and Sanskrit studies." (jacket).

Index to Sanskrit terms. Indian Medicinal Plants, based on a treatise prepared by S. Raghunatha Iyer, a scholar of both Sanskrit and Ayurveda, aims to make an authoritative contribution to the field. The original work which drew upon classical texts and current research, as well as the oral medical knowledge of tribal groups has been updated by scholars associated with the Arya Vaidya Sala in Kottakal, India. This unique compendium offers profiles of 500 key species with detailed taxonomic information. One of the leading features of this compilation is the special technique used in the illustrations, both colour and line, which aims to achieve authenticity of texture, colour and form. The book also lists the distribution and popular nomenclature in English, Sanskrit, Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil. The main texts present properties and uses in a format which cites ancient verse texts and ethnobotanical sources. This rare work, in five volumes, should be of special interest to practitioners of alternative medicine, students of Ayurveda, the research and industry associated with medical botany, pharmacologists, sociologists and medical herbalists.
