26. Grandfather waving good
night to Madurai and his
family - you see the buffaloe

If you want me to, I'll come, back tomorrow
and tell £ou another atory about trees to

THE

END

Note;

It is important that the story follows local words and expressions.
In EEV area we have collected more than 250 local sayings (proverbs)
that are connected with agriculture, health, family life, cultural
habits etc. In your own area you may substitute in the proposed
text where we've marked

The three tamil proverbs from our area that we have used refer to;

1. (picture no 8) If you are convinced on beforehand that something
will not be a success, then you have already failed.
2. (picture 8) You have better listen to the knowledge of the elders,
they know the world.
3, (picture 24) If you take care of your soil, the soil will reward
you with a good yield.

names as spelt in the area of availability
are communicated here. The plants men
tioned are selected from the list of threatened
and endemic plants of the countries of
Europe compiled by the International Union
for Conservation of Nature and Natural
Resources (IUCN 1976). According to this
report, there are 25,000 plants in the
world, estimated to be dangerously rare and
urgently in need of protection.
Aconitum - (Ranunculaceae)
The genus Aconitum is well-known in the
indigenous systems of medicine. Aconites
are the root-tubers of the different species
of this genus. The plants occur in the
Himalayas and are found at an altitude
between 2000 m. to 4000 m. above sea-level.
The endangered species of Aconitum, widely
used in India is the Aconitum balfourji Stapf,
a herb of several feet high, usually glabrous.
The leaves are scattered, 6-10 in number.
The lowest leaves decayed at the time of
flowering. The plant is rarely seen in the
U.P. Himalayas and the Central Himalayas.
Its local names are: Darma - ‘Gobaria
vish’; Garhwal - ‘Banwa’; Nepal - ‘Gobari’
Aconitum falcon, i Stapf.
It is a herbaceous plant reaching a
height of 1 m., finely hairy and with leaves
more than 10 in number. The upper leaves
are often crowded. It is distributed in the
Himalayas of Uttar Pradesh and is locally
known as ‘Telavish’.

Aconitum chasmanthum Stapf ex. Holmes
It is an erect herb, with numerous
leaves, reaching up to a height of 120 cms.
The plant rarely occurs in the western Hima
layas from Hazara to Kashmir. The root
of the plant contains an alkaloid, indaconite. Its local names are : Jhelum—
‘Mohri’; Kashmir—‘Banabalnag’.
Aconitum deinorrhizum Stapf
It is an erect herb with a sparingly
hairy or glabrous stem. The plant occurs

in the Alpine Himalayas of ' ,-shahr and is
locally known as ‘Maura’.

Aconitum heterophyllum W.-.nich ex. Royle

It is a herbaceous plar in the western
and central Himalayas. It i: found both in
forests and open plains. The plant tuber is
locally known as‘Atees’, wb'.nis employed
in Ayurveda and also by the local practi
tioners for a number of ailments.

All the species of Acor.-um mentioned
above have tuberous paired roots which have
been indiscriminately collected for trade.
Recently, the extraction o' Aconites has
been prohibited in the Himalayas by the
Government. But the local inhabitants
exploit the tubers as they fetch a high
market price.
Berberis petiolaris Wall ch ex. Don
(Berberidacea. 1

It is a tree 3 m. hig with shining
twigs and usually with str. 1 spines. The
leaves are thin and toothe. The root of

From the origin of mankinds man and medicines had a close association.

The only aim in

life of the ancient men was his survival, for which he had to procure his daily
food and shelter.

He deoended on nature's plants and trees for their fruits,

leaves, stem and roots and also the fish and flesh of animals.

Their intimacy uit-

the nature was such that it was the nature's caves and trees which helped them

tide over the adverse climates.

In his frantic efforts to obtain-his daily food, he got injured and wounded oft

by wild animals, poisonous stings and thorn

Climatic changes brought

During such times of dangers he prayed ferve.:ntly to the creator of the naturev
The Almighty God.

He also used the 5 elements (Panchabootas)

of nature for

He gradually came to learn and use various

remedies from the nature for the various ailments.
He had nothing but nature to depend for the medicines as he had to for his foed
and shelter.

He strongly believed that all the things in nature were created by

GOD for his good.

The knowledge that everything in nature is the permutation •-

combination of the 5 elements and that these elements has got the medicinal
properties was the starting of a new era.

The human body itself is made up of

these 5 basic elements (Panchaboutic constitution).

bence they believed that

such a body when diseased, should bu treated by those 5 elements only.
Jesus Christ has restored sight to a .blind man who approached him.

Jesus asked

the blind man to take his bath in thd Siloha Lake and then to smear wot mud on
his blind eyes whereupon ho got his sight back.

Thus Jesus Christ himself

showed the world that human ailments can be cured with the belief in GOD and by
using materials for the nature which he himself has created.
Though everything in nature had some medicinal prepertios,later generations

depended mainly on plants.

They gave importance to Monotherapy (using only

one- herb Cor a particular disease).

This often made

them physically exhausted from, wounds, cuts, fractures, burns -and other side;

They were forced to use more than one medicine

This resulted in concoctions, lin iments and pills.

Since all

the medicines were not available all round the year, they started scoring
medicines in the form of extracts (Arf.shtas) andttaickond extracts (lahyams).

Of all the three, Allopathy had a wonderful and fast growth,

which has really prolonged the life expectancy of the man today.

There is no chemical reaction involved in this.

According to Ayurveda, this is

actually a form of treatment.

The ancient medical science was developed by the sanyasies.

They could cure

all ailments by meditation and by their divine powers in addition to using
nature's products aherever needed. . In fact, they believed that, they were

During these periods it was the patient's relatives who nursed the patients at

home.

They collected the herbs from their own compounds or from the surroundings^

Concoctions or pills out of them were made by the relatives themselves in their
own kit chore.

Today those herbs reach the various factories abroad, get into

their sophisticated machines and later through the drug distributors, doctors
and finally through nurses reach the patient.

It is in India that the maximum number of herbs arc found.

" Never have so many people throughout the world
had such great expections that an acceptable level of health
is withinnreach, if not for themselves at least for their
children.
- Dr .Halfden Mahler, Direct or-General,WHO
An attempt is made here to review the current
status and developments in Medicinal Plants and examine the
critical issues relevant to potential and development of Medi
cinal plants in Gujarat State. What potentiality exists in this
state to help achieve the World Health Organization (WHO) goal,
"Health for all by the year 2000" is also indicated.

Health to the vast majority of people, especially in all deve-loping countries, means much morethan the mere
absence of disease. It is something most prayed for, but rarely
achieved. According to the WHO constitution, "Health is a state
of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease or infxrmity" and whose destination
by the year 2000 has been defined by the World Health Assembly
as a level of Health that will permit all the people of the
world to lead a socially and economically ip'Jfo^ductive life.
Health and social awareness must go hand in hand
the one leading to the other and each progressively reinfor
cing the other-this process is known as community involvement,
or as it has been aptly put, "Health as if people mattered."

After many years cf benign neglect, many researchers
and health administrators have renewed interest in the discovery
of new medicinal plants of value in the solution of numerous
ailments and diseases that modern western medicines have failed
to conque.r. Traditionally pharmacologists and phytochemists
have been relying on a number cf plant species from whom they
obtain natural sources of drugs. History shows that it is an
exceptionally rare instance when a naturally occurring chemical
compound that has found utility as a drug for man will yield
a derivative on structure modification that exceeds the value
of the parent compound in drug efficacy.
Unfortunately, few attempts have been made to
tap the incredibly large amount of information that is currently
stored in the heads of herbalists and traditional healers of
our country who utilize non-toxic, simple and time tested
medicines which have been integrated over the centuries into
the cultural pattern of the societies in which they operate. Many of us have personally witnessed the great
help that^canAgained from herbal medicine. And this is why we
should revive interest in research on indigenous herbal drugs.
_
‘IL.,
n
The arrogance with which many Western -trained doctors often
dismiss the value of herbal medicine should be replaced with a
careful analysis of the pharmacopoeia that has been cherished
by human medical history for centuries.
Ijhmay not be out of place to mention here that
extensive scientific studies to determine the nature of "Dosa'
as mentioned in Ayurveda have been made recently and it has
been concluded that, these are the neurohumours mainly liberated
l>y
-brain and its various nerve endings. Normally the neurO-

humours are quickly destroyed by appropriate enzymes (Vata :
acetylcholine, destroyed by cholinesterase. Pitta : catechola
mines, destroyed by monoamine oxidase and catecholamine 0
Methyl Transfarase Kapha : histamine, destroyed by histaminase) •

3/-

3Over production of these neurohumours ultimately leads to
pathological changes in various organs and tissues. Dr.Udupa,
an eminent Allopathic doctor as well as a researcher states::
ft
II —
It
.
we are convinced that the JJosas mentioned in Ayurveda can
now be estimated easily in the laboratory through various
It
biochemical methods.
The WHO has pledged to provide satisfactory
health care for all mankind by the year 2000. Mahler("1977) >
Director -General of the WHO, has clarified this point ■ This
ambitious goal is, quite simply beyond the scope of the present
health care systems and personnel trained in modern medicine.
•
Witfl but 25 years to go, and since it is unlikely that the least
developed countries can even dream of having enough of the o .
orthodox type of personnel, it is clear that unorthodox solutions
H
must be sought .
?eu D -feyp G SUPPLY
Our country has very rich herbal resources • More
than 1000 medicinal plants are currently in use. However, there
is no organized system of collection, cultivation, preservation
and supply of the drugs used in the country. Practitioners in rn
rural areas usually prepare medicines themselves, using local
herbal resources and sometimes, in view of the utter simplicity
of some of the recipes, advice the patients to prepare the drugs
themselves, in thier own homes .However, there are more than 3,000
pharmacies in the country which manufacture traditional medicines
from raw drugs, mostly utilizing indigenous technical know-how.
In view of this the cost of production is lower than that of
allopathic drugs- However, to taake traditional drugs more.accep
table and popular among the sophisticated urban populations,
some pharmaceutical firms utilize modern technology to produce
these drugs and modern methods to market them, offering them
for sale in modern pa.cking and making them more palatable than
in the raw form. They, are being prescribed by both the traditional
as well as allopathic practitioners. The prices of these products
could be reduced further if an organized and uninterrupted
supply of genuine naw drugs is made available to the indurtryf

..v-

as well as to practitioners of traditional medicine who might
^rofpr to pse them as they are ofr to process them further
themselves.
As agricultural scientists, we have little knowledge
about the therapeutic values of various plants and have diffculty in understanding and searching medical literature and in
deciding the procedure we should adopt in choosing plants which
we should do research upon. Usually we now concentrate ourresearch efforts on those, medicinal (and sometime other economic)
plants which meet one or more of the following criteria, besides
the possibility that they can be cultivated in Gujarat state.
(l) it is threatened with extinction
(2) Price of its economic product has been increasing rapidly
(5) it is used since huhdreds of years
(4) little or no information is available, or the crop
(5) the work is labour intensive
(6) input and mangement costs are low and
(7) efficacy of its product bad proved of considerable thera
peutic importance.
Some of the medicinal plants whose cultivation
aspects are being worked out and contemplated are listed below
along with the information that may interest industrialists
interested in processing these plants-

(zl) ISABGUI : ( Psyllium) :
The crop is. traditionally grown in the state.
However because of fluctuating demand abroad especially in the
U.S.A.^price paid to the farmers fluctuates widely.Isabgul
husk is the primary economic product• About 80 to 90% of the
product is exported largely to U.S.A, where it is processed
further.
The questions that should be asked and should : .. '
concern the scientists and industrialists of the state are :
(i) Is all the husk that is being imported from Iridia by U.S.A.
used in manufacturing bulk laxatives only? and
5/-

5(ii) what are the other industrial uses of this product?(It
has been claimed that seed mucilage is used in Cosmetics and
as a stabilizer in ice cream manufacture. Experimental usage (
in animal feeds was also reported and the seeds are
as feed for apiary birds)Gujarat Drugs & chemicals limited(GDCL) has been promoted by
Gujatat Industrial Investment Corporation Limited involving
cutGJdy,' of Rf- 1-5 crores. GDCL will produce 400 tonnes of psyllium
husk palatable formulations and 145 million tablets of different
preparations per annum. Working at .full capacity, the sales
turn over from the project would be around Rs.J.25 crores per
annum .

used in middle East countries.,Wrorld demand for psyllium is
now ablout 15,000 tonnaesnnually with a growth rate equal to the
growth rate for laxatives which is about 3% per annum and thus
market potential for psyllium is very good. One specific market
that could show considerable potential for psyllium is Japan.
^T^orpow Japar^sp importers have not yet obtained entry clegteurnrfor psyllium from the Ministry of Health- If and when this
clearance is given suppliers could find a ready market for
psyllium in Japan, particularly since f-orisulated laxatives
incorporating psyllium are already being imported from the

The chief suppliers to world markets are Ghina, U.S.S.R., Iran
and Iraq? India imports liquorice worth more than Rs- 1-5 crores
annually (Personal discussion with Dr. K. M. Parikh, Zandu
pharmacy).
liquorice contains about 7% of the triterperoid
glucoside, glycyrrhizin, it consists of the calcium and potassium
salts of glycyrrhiz&nic acid (the diglucopyranC’AidurcJnic acid .ff
the tri terpg p-cid glycyrrhctic acid - synonymous with glycyrrhetinic
acid) Glycyrrhizin is the principal flavouring constituent . It
is marketed in a number of forms :(a^Natural peeled or unpeeled
root(b) Solid liquorice extract (c) gticks -and (d)Granulated or
spray-dried liquorice•
In its chief application as a flavouring agent and
in confectionary, liquorice does not? appear to suffer competition
from other products. However, the use of liquorice-based galenic
preparations is reported to be declining owing to the availability
of improved and new products.
Liquorice and its derivatives taken in large doses
may cause sodium retention and potassium loss leading to hyperten
sion, water retention and severe electrolyte imbalance - Ca.rbenoxo-»
lone sodium, derived from Glycyrrhiza glabra and used in the
treatment of gastric ulcers (also claimed to help cases of
duodenal ulcer but much conflicting evidence is available) can only
'be given for a maximum of four to six weeks, and a potassium
supplement is usually required- Thus the tpxic side effects will
encourage replacement by other drugs where possible .
The use of liquorice in pharmaceuticals is small
in industrialized countries. However, in herbal remedies and
indigenous systems of medicine use of iiiquorice dates back
several thousand years and it is commonly used (in Ayurveda and/
or Chinese medicine)as a demulcent, expectorant, antitussive
and $1Id laxative, being used to tfreat ulcers, sore throats,
malaria, abdominal pains, insomnia, tub. erculosis, sores, food
Poisoning and many other ailments*Indigenous system of medicine
is becoming more and more popular.

products in Japan was expected to double in value from Y 55

medicinals contain liquorice. Recently it has been reported
that the adreno-cortical functions can be improved by admini
stering liquorice •
Agricultural aspects
The crop grows very.sslc.wlyand takes about
5
3years (as per published reports) to give the vield of
marketable equality. The crop has potential to be cultivated in
the state and marketable produce will be ready in less than
two years. Eleven month old crop has about 180 cr.i(6') deep
tap root and few adventitous roots develop from stolons
(underground runners) developing parallel to soil surface at
a depth of 10 to 15 cm. This is largely the commercial produce.
Planting material (not the seed) is in short supply, even for
research purpose■ Therefore we have standardized technique of
multiplying the planting material through tissue culture and
transferring tissue culture raised planrlets in the field. Free
1984- anwards• 100,000 plantlets will be produced through this
technique and a major portion of these will be supplied to
farmers •
Good quality liquorice, that is with high glycyrrhizin
content, should readily .fiftd a market in India as well asnbrrad.
(3) SENNA

Senna is one of the most widely used stimulant laxatives- Senna
leaves‘and pods are obtained from the small leguminous shrubs,
Cassia acutifolia and -0. angustifolia• C aeutifolia, known as
Alexandrian senna is indigenous to Egypt and the Sudan 0
angustif611^>known as Tinnelvelly senna5is cultivated in Tamil
Nadu.
Both senna leaves and pods are used as stimulant .
laxatives. Th@ laxative activity is accounted for by the sennoside content, mainly sennoside A and B, which are stereoisomers
of rhein diantbrone with two glucose molecules, but traces of

8/-

8.
sennoside C and 0 are also present, together with various
Emodin and rhein glycosides • Some synergistic activity is stated
to take place .
Senna preparations act on the intestine hy exciting
peristalsis without affecting the functions of the stomach and
duodenum and in normal use, the intestine does not become habit
uated to these preparations. The laxative action depends on
the amount of free hydroxyanthraquibones and the ease of decom
position of the glycosides.
Sennosides A and B are practically insoluble in
water and ether but calcium sennosides are water-soluble .-They
form stable and non-hygroscopic crystals and are readily formu-•
lated into a range of tablets and syrups for laxative use that
are used particularly in the United states- In Eurppe, wiost
senna is used for infusions or medicinal teas .
Kpst of the -senna leaves and pods in international
trade come from India, which claims to account fur 90% of world
production. India supplies senna principally to the Federal
Republic of Germany, the United states, Japan the Netherlands
»
France, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.Federal Republic of
Germany is by far the largest impo.rter of senna, taking about
3500 tonnes during 1980-81(Average export of senna leaves to
Japan is about 200 tons a year. Japan also imports several tons
of calcium sennosides each year, most of which comes from
Switzerland.
Increasing amount of sennosides will be produced
in India, but the market for sennosides id expected to increase
only slowlyIt is thought that Alexandrian senna fetch a higher
price than Indian senna owing tp its higher content of sennosides.
Demand for senna is steady and although at present! supplies
are considered adequate, good quality senna(that is with high
glycoside content) should always find a market no matter what

(U.') GUGGAL : (Commiphora Wightii syn C mukal) :
The oleo-gdm-resin-'’ c'‘'“ of guggal is a versatile indigenous
drug claimed hy the Indian system of medicine to be highly
efficacious in the treatment of rheumatism, obSS’ity, neurological
disorders and few other diseases.Recent pharmacological invest
igations on the crude drug, its different fractions and pure
constituents have revealed significant anti-inflammatory, anti|
rheumatic and hypocholestremic/ hypolipaemic activity. It has
been reported that by administering guggal thyroid function can
be improved.(It may be pointed out that in the modern medical
science the hormonal deficiencies are generally treated by
replacement therapy by exogenous sources • Whereas in Ayurveda
the hormonal deficiencies are overcome by administration of
drugs which would promote the endogenous production of hormones ■
It is generally observed that once a replacement therapy is
started it Permanently depresses the endogenous production of
hormones leading to atrophy of the respective endocrine glandsOn the other hand by adopting Ayurvedic principles
one can
stimulate the endogenous production with the help of appropr£^c
drugs)
™
Dr. Sukh Dev, Kalti Chem Research Centre, Nandesari,
Near Vadodara (personal discussion) informed that guggal gum
has potential to become a cheaper source than diosgenin and
solasodine in manuf icturing corticosteroid hormones.
The plant is known to be growing in Kutch, North
Gujarat, Central Gujarat and S'aurashtra.It has been estimated
that Gujarat state produces 400 to 500 metric jtonnes ofiGuggalo
valued
Rs .20,00,000/- to Rs.25,00,000/-The£e figures are atleast '10-12
years old when the price of Guggal was Rs.3 to Rs.4 per kg. The
current price of good quality gum is about Rs.40/- per kg. Genuine
Guggal is in short supply and has lead to over exploitation

10/-

10.
of existing Guggal supplying frees- This has lead to destruction
of many trees- Guggal has been recognized as a threatened nlant
of western India by Botanical survey Z>f I'Pdia -A few guggal
trees of Corominhora stocksiana, whose gum is sold at Rs-150/per kg- has been recently reported for the first time from
Gujarat.

Bor increasing production and steady availability
of guggal gum there is need to study floral biology, collect
germplasm,work out quick propagation method,study its culti
vation aspects and work out non-destructiye. gum tapping technique.
(5) KURCHI, INDRA JA^/, KADVO INDRAJA^ :(Holarrhcna antidysenterica)■
It is a shrub known to be growing in many parts
of Gujarat-Its bark,seed and leaves are economically important
products. Since-time-immemorial its bark and seed are used in
Indian system of medicine with remarkable results in treatment
of dysentery, acute and chronic, of both children and adults.lt
also has antipyretic effect. However, little information on
its cultivation aspects is available. As irrigation facilities
are extended and more land is brought under plough, the available
genetic variability of this remarkable plant is likely to be
lost (6)

SILYBUM MARIANUM:(Cgirduus marianus) :

Until recently it has been accepted almost as
dogma that there was not and could not be any pharmacological
treatment for liver diseases. The- only drugs used at all
were corticosteroids or immunosuppressive agents- Now however
as a result of the discovery of a new grcx'ip of substances, the
'flavanolignaasrisol^tcdfrom the milk thistle, Sjlybum marianum
-the situation has altered and there is now a substantial body
of evidence;indicating that the flavanolignans can exert an
almost specific influence on the liver parenchyma- The only plant
product which has an antihepatotoxic action in the true sense of
the word-that "a protective effect on the Liver" is the seed of
milk' thistle.
.. .11/-

The seeds contain ths flavanolignans silybin, silydianin and.
silychristin, which are isomers and are lumped together under
the collective designation silymarinThe trade in medicinal plants and their
derivatives in pharmacy has dsxlinod ’in many industrialized
countries owing to the volume >f competitive synthetic products
currently marketed-Overall tle trade in botanicals has increased
following their increased use in the food and cosmetic industries .
A renewed interest in traditional medicine in Asia and in health
foods in Europe and North America has provided new outjlets for a
number of botanical products.
By and large, cultiration of medicinal plants is
labour intensive and possibility exists of processing the raw
material in the state which produces more than
of the
pharmaceutical preparations in the country. The very fact that I
have been asked to deliver this talk, I presume, is an indication
that plant based drugs arc getting considerable attention of
the pharmaceutical companies.
In western countries, many firms engaged in
processing herbs and herbal preparations are having a roaring
business. In India also demand for plant based medicine is
increasing rapidly. An integrated approach .is needed for p'lanned
development of plant based pharmaceutical Industry in Gujarat
state. As irrigation facilities are extended more and more land
is brought under plough and consequently availibility of rQw
materials from naturally growing plants has now decreased
considerably. However, when material is collected from naturally
growing plants and when collection work is traditionally done
by unskilled and illeterate persons,quality of the produce
varies' considerably-Already Ayurvedic physicians complain of
the non-availability of quality raw materials and also of the
large scale adulteration-These are the reasons why medicinal
plants need to be cultivated on scientific basis'....12/-

12.

Rainfull in Gujarat varies from nearly 25cm(io") in the North
to 225cm. (About 90") in the south- an unusually large range for
a small state- This means that almost any kind of plant,except
the one requiring prolonged severe winter, can find an ecological
niche in the state and can be grown profitably. Therefore, if
these plants are cultivated in the state, uninterrupted
availability of good quality raw material to the pharmaceutical
industry with less transportation cost can be ensured. However,
farmers will grow medicinal plants only if the market is assured•
On the other hand industry will be interested in precessing the
raw material only if its availability is assured over a long
period of time•
If we wish to be in the forefront in processing
medicinal plants, we will have to decide quickly which should
get priority-assured market for the •farmer o'f assured supply of
raw materials. Moreover, we have to ^be very-cautious in deciding
which medicinal plants we wish to promote because we cannot
afford agricultural research-?. time consuming and a continuous
process-unless it is assured that the research results will be
eventually used by the farmer for a long period cf time in
producing quality raw material in abundance for the pharmaceuti
cal industry.
I hope that various government and private
organizations will join hands to fulfil the objectives and also
give their due consideration for the views, enumerated below :

(1) Tc identify neglected but seemingly useful medicinal plants
both wild and domesticated that have therapeutic value.
(2) To select the plants that have shoved ' the most promise for
wider exploitation.
(5) To indicate’ requirements and avenues for research, both
clinical and agricultural, to ensure that selected plants
reach their fullest potential.
(4) Preservation of Plant Germplasm-a concerted efforts is need
ed to ensure the survival of endangered medicinal plant
species •

.......... 15/-

1$.
(It comes as a surprise to most non-botanists and non-agricul- turists to learn that one out of every 10 plants is either extinct
or in imminent danger of extinction) . Wanton destruction of
natural vegetation is killing many but the relentless spread
of conventional agriculture has probably displaced and destroyed
many others- Preservation of germplasm of medicinal plants is
the way to make sure that the genetic diversity and healthy
stock needed for their developments either now or in the
future, for hitherto unknown considerations ?rc assured- It
has been statedlocal governments! must be. made mere aware of
the importance of their native flora to their economic develop
ment and of the need to inventory^maintain and capitalize on
their indigenous vegetative material. Narmada waters, when fully
utilized will bring about 55°^ of the cultivable land of the
state under irrigation and when the number of endangered
plants, that will include many native medicinal plants is likely
to increase considerably.
(5) Plant Introduction ■ 'There is need to strengthen mechanisms
for systematically and routinely introducing and investigating
those little-known plants which are potentially useful to the
state's agriculture. List of such plants if prepared ,no-doubt ,
will include majority of medicinal plants.
(6) Th ere appears to be potential for some development of
contract growing of medicinal plants that are indigenous to
the country for the regional market. A trade association that
registers the state's growers of commercial standing is essential
to allow the promotion of medicinal plants. Such an ^association
would try to maintain a regulated supply of plants and would
be available to act in cases of dispute between the growers
and purchasers of plants. Regulation of supply is particularly
important as a large oversupply of -plants will often destablize
the markets and cause prices to decline to such an extent that
it will be no longer profitable to produce, or trade in, the
plant in question.

.. . .14/-

ia
(7) Support from she pharmaceutical manufacturing industry
could help greatly with the development of new products, or
with the purification and preparation of currently used drugs
from new and conventional sources.
(8) It is inadvisable for us to concentrate on the industrial-sed.
country markets for most of the medicinal plants and in the
event that such market is considered, prior contracts are
essential. The major growth markets for medicinal plants
cultivated or collected and for their extracts may well be our
own state, country and adjoining countries rather than the
established markets of Europe, Npr-th America and Japan.
(9) If the plants are indigenous or cultivated locally, we will
have a control over the raw materials similar to that of the
industrialized countries over locally produced synthetics.

(10) we may find that it is as economical or even more economi
cal to extract botanicals and use the active ingredients for
formulations in the domestic or the regional pharmaceutical
industry. This is particularly true now that the WHO is
promoting and getting acceptance for its Essential Drugs
programme, some items of which are botanical derivatives, in
many developing countries.
I hope, I have convinced you that, development of
medicinal plants in the state is not a task that an individual
or even an orgainzation can achieve in isolation. It calls for
a collective undertaking with all round' cooperation, unqualified
commitment, full-fledged coordination and concerted action.
Moreover developing medicinal plants based industry in the state
will fulfil many socially and economically desirable goals.

MEDICINAL PLANTS

There are at present many systems of healing
prevalent in India. Allopathy was introduced by Britishers,
while- Unani was brought to the country by the Muslim rulers.
Homeopathy is the latest introduction in our country. All
other systems have their roots in Ayurveda which inspite of neglect
still caters to the needs of over 80% population of India, mostly
living in rural areas.

In the vcdic period, it was believed that physical body
is made of five bhootas (Materials) like Soorya (sun), Dharti
(Earth), Akash (Sky), Vayu (Wind) and Ann (Cereals or food) and
with their help the body can be cured of diseases also. But,
according to later theories compiled in Samhitas, there are three
Doshas, seven Dhatus and three Maias (Total 13), which cause
diseases.
According to Ayurvedia equilibrium of humours brings
health, while disequilibrium causes disease.
In the pre-historic
period sun rays, water, soil etc. were used to bring this
equilibrium (Naturopaths still adopt it), but later"herbs,
fermentation products and minerals were used to bring back the
equilibrium.
Some of the herbs, which are either grown in kitchen
garden or stocked at home as part of household remedies are:
Coriandrum sativum
Curcuma longa
Pimpinella anisum
Zingiber officinalis

—
-

Dhania
Haldi
Saonf
Adrak

As all these are free of any toxic matter, they can
be used safely or rather are being used with good results from
time immemorial.
Drugs used in indigenous systems of medicine (/Ayurvedic
Shidha and Unani) are classified as under :

(a) Drugs of plant origin-which the list of such
drugs is very long.
Acorus c alamus
Adhatodo vasica
Papaver somniferum
P. longum
RauvoIfi a serpentina

- Bach
- Vasaca
- Afim
- Piplamol
- Sarpgandha

(b) Drugs of animal origin
Moschus maschiferus
Internal shell of
molusc s Senia sp.

- Kasturi
(
| Samudra phen.

and Login sp.

)

: 2 :
(c) Drugs of mineral origin

- Lauha Ehasma
- Swarna Phasma

Calcined Iron
Reduced gold

”'hile the same herbs may find use in Allopathy as well
as Ayurvedic and Unani (A and Uj systems of medicine but there
is essential difference in the processing of drugs.
In Allopathy, usually the single active principle is
extracted, which is then administered orally or in injection form
in standardised dosage. In A and U systems mostly the whole
drug or its extract is administered.

Some of the medicinal plants studied are noted below ;
(1) Acorus Calamus (Pach J

The part used in rhisome. In a dose of 0.5 mg/ml
it inhibits the growth of g -ve organisms. It is useful against
bed 'ugs, moths etc. Thus^it is a safe household insect protectant

(2') Adhatoda Vasica

Malabar nut tree. The leaves and roots are used. It
is used as.an expectorant, and the steam distilled leaves possess
anthelmintic properties. The active principle is the alkaloid
vascicine. Juice or decoction taken from 15-30 g of leaves.

INTRODUCTION TO HERBAL IXDICINE
-

jcoeph CK^Cr

Human body is composed of some matter as that of this universe.

Though we

can subject it to chemical analysis we cannot recreate it by a chemical

synthesis.

The body and its functions are very complex.

There is an

arrangement which goes beyond the matter that runs and controls the functions

of the body.

The balance in this arrangement of the biological functions

of the body is health and the imbalance is illness.

Each system

This balance is differently seen by different medical systems.
leans on a philosophy and works on a thesis based on its vision,

Ayurveda puts three basic principles - Vatha, Pitha and ixapha.

for example,
On this

philosophy of triple principle it builds up its method of diagnosis and
treatment, i.e.,

finding out the causes of imbalance and means to correct it.

In India we have many workable system of treatment, in use. Allopathy,
Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Unani, etc

Allopathy which assumed the name of modern medicine has a method of diagnosis
and therapy.

surgery.

It has also adopted a lot from the sciences of psychiatry and

But in practice people feel its vision is far too mechanical.

It

may seem that it is not the human person that is affected, but different parts
of his body and it can be cured part by part or damaged parts may be removed
and replaced even ignoring the psychiatric knowledge it has developed.
islack of logic in practice.

There

But it has become (The medicine) due to

several reasons.

Herbal Pledicine may not be called a system, but surely it is ths most ancient

form of treatment for human maladies as old as human illness.

When man found

that he was not well, he had wounds, burns, insect bites etc., he naturally
turned around to look for relief.

Ho first found the herbs and applied them.

There the experience and experiment started.

This experience was stored and

transmitted from generation to generation.

A lot of it was lost and much of it

was stolen and kept by the Drug Companies.

But something is still preserved

:nd practiced

Now we draw from their valuable store.

It is very important to start with the plants we have in our neighbourhood

and learn their uses.

For this we have to start learning from tho ignorant,

village people, grandmothers, dais and people who roam about with magic and

medicine.

Those informations arc very useful, but we should not blindly follow

them but also check it with other informations, the knowledge ute got from books,
our own experience etc.

Collection of plants
Some plants we can easily locate.
Some we can easily get.

For example a neen tree in the village.

Onion and garlic for instance , some are easily found

in the vegetable and flower garden, drumsticks nnd hibiscus.

Out for the most

part we should identify the plants in places they grow and preserve them from

all their enemies including man.

For the modern man whichever plant is not commercially important is "weed".

Tho Forest department keeps a few species of timber trees like teak, rose-wood
etc.. and destroys the whole flora calling it 'jungle wood' and it systematically
plants Eucalyptus instead.

The farmers also grow foodcrops what the

industrialists buy, coffee, tea, rubber, pepper etc,which has a demand in the

market.

All the rest is destroyed as 'weeds', to perfect tho plant slaughter end

Together with herbs there arc a lot of other things which are
traditionally used as medicine,for example - salt, honey etc.
These are what the housewife can find in the kitchan garden make

for ordinary ailments it can serve as a perfect nature cure. It

without running to the drug store for every little heacache.

The following passage is taken from - FEELING GOOD WITH NATLRZ'.L
REMEDIES, by Terry Willard, H.Sc., MH, CI, Wild Rose College of
Natural Healing, Canada.
Herbal Philosophy: The energy of herbs.

Aq important thing to learn about herbs is- they are not lust groups
or chemcials, but have individual personalities just as people do.
Understanding this personalities probably the most significant thing
a Herbalist can do, and is the key to how the herbs work.
Looking
back into th history of herbcl’.gy vie sec that the essence cf the
herb's personality was of great importance.
Going bad: in history we find medicine using herbs as a means of
treating all sorts of ailments. They had little or no comprehension
of what chemicals were in the various plants or how the body
functions. These medicine people understood the essence or
personality of the herbs to aid them in healing. We don't have
to look very far for reference to this.
Just a short period of
100 - 150 years ago the Indians of North imierica used this as the
major method of healing. They believed that the spirit of the
herb fought a battle with the sickness and if it was stronger it
would win and the patient would make a successful recovery.
This essence (pars- nality) of the plant is the non-physical
attribute and is just as important as the chemical make-up. Most
people today consider this idle superstitjGn but looking at it
a bit more seriously we might find a grain of truth in it. After
all I think that most of us would agree that humans are not just
physical bodies. Vie have emotions, abstract mental concepts
spiritual feelings, as well ;s the physicial needs, desires,
functions and ma1-functions of the body.
If we have a variety of
aspects making up our personalities, why then should we believe that
herbs are strictly physical without some form of unseen energy?

This energy called 'Vital Energy' (by modern herbalists) is just
as important to them as is the chemical make-up of the herb. What
is this 'Vital Energy1?
VITAL ENERGY,

Medicine can take many approaches. The western medical philospphy
has generally taken a scientific view towards health. For the
most part doctors take an almost mechanical approach.
Tf we have
a broken arm they easily fix it.
If there is a ijissing chemical
in a biochemical pathway, they can replace it or make a suitable
piece to fo.x to it.
If there is a force acting against your body
such as a virus or an unhealthy bacteria, doctors can usually
create a stronger force in the opposite direction against this
intruding force. Cnc must admit that cur medical professionals are
gcodmcchanics and we must not underestimate the use, of this
mechanical knowledge. Modern medicine has cured many people of many
diseases. Unfortunately those methods can have a shot gun effect

■ i’vv.' ?. -otroy many useful bacteria and are sometimes over a long
period more harmful^than beneficial. On the other hand if vic look at
European herbolcgy, American Indian medicine, East Indian medicine
and oriental medicine, they all have a com on underlyong philosophy
considering the energy that flov/s through the body. This energy is
called in many different things such as - life force, chi, prans, or
(as the herbalists call it) vital energy.
It is the purpose of
non-allopathic medicine to keep this energy flowing correctly
through the body as if the flow is improper, to return it to its
natural path. The herbalists feel that disease is caused by stagnant
or incorrectly direc ted energy due to some energy blockage. The
herbalists role is not so much to attack a disease, but to maintain
the natural flox; of vital energy. The energy itself will ri,d the

body of disease, to handle a certain amount of waste, xo fign
disease in our bodies, we can dump in all kinds of c .ericals, to
rake the environment unlivable for the intruder. We can, as an
alternative, inplug the system and get the energy flowing again.
As in the case of rivers, if these energy pathways are not
obstructed and no wastes are put into them, the job of cleaning is
not as taxing and the energy can then be used to support life.
Thus our job is net to try to -.ill diseases in our bodies. Our
job is to keep the diseases in our bodies^ Our job is to '’■cep the
body free of energy obstruction so the natural vital energy flows
through out the body, selecting, disintegrating, obsorbing,
assimilating, and converting food stuffs.
In other words, we don't
try to ta e on the role of trying to cure diseases, we merely
assist the vital energy to flow in an unobstructed way.
Herbs in this sense, arc not really considered medicines. They arc
Just specialised foods which holo vita’ energy flew being somewhat
selective in where their energy is directed. Ti
■,.ona?ity of
t' j herb will be attra.te' to certain an areas o the bodv similar
to di_ ..rrent types of people associating in ' like-r.iinded' grcv.T .
V r example, Jupiter berries have a Bpersonality' that strongly
influences the kidneys. This vital energy is just one part of a
modern herbalist's understanding of how herbs ’work. To understand

the chemical interactions the herbs have on the human physiological
mechanism is just as significant. Most herbalists feel that one
is fairly ineffective without the other. The 'vital' energy of
herb is what makes it work. For something to work in a live
biological system it has to have life energy. Herbs, with their
own life essence, work in harmony with tie biological systems to
enact healing.

A pharmaceutical will copy the chemical nake up of a herb, but it
can only work by overpowering the system, 'stealing' some of the
body's life energy (as it has none of its ojd) . Pharmaceuticals
are usually used when the body needs this life energy the most.
In a medical crisis, for example, the pharmaceutical power and fast
action of the chemicals are necessary. Of course, there may arise
some side effects that have to be dealt with, but usually they can
be oest balanced out by herbal treatment later.
For che everyday non-crisis health problems, herbals have along
proven history of cure. After all ■ ost of the herbals we are
dealinu. with have been tested on millions of people over thousands
of years. Their methods of use have been very thoroughly studied.

MODERN JIERBAL PHILOSOPHY-VITAL JISduY
Vital energy is the flow of enerigy through one's body. This can
be likened to a river that gets unnaturally clogged or dar-ed,
stopping the nor^f.l flow of t .e energy. The river forms a stagnant
pool which as I’m sure you've all seen, breeds abundant algae and
insects in a swampy condition.
There are two very different ways to get rid of such things as
nosquito larvae, abundant algae and other undesirables;
1. The way I was told in higji school to get rid of mosquito larvae
was to pour oil on the water so they couldn’t breathe. You can
also dunp poisons into the water to make the environment
unberable for these organises. Of course this also destroys
nest other life-supporting functions in the pond .
2.

The other way is to work on dislodging the obstruction doming
the river. This lets the river flow and clean itself naturally.

Our bodies are quire similar to this river . Disease is the blocking
of the natural vital energy that flows through our bod/. Let us say
that atleast sore of these energy streams are the acupuncture
linos in the body. When the energy is flowing properly along those
path ways, it naturally keeps the body clean, just as the river
does. Like a river, the bodily encr.'gy flow.
MEDICI IE. AND SCUD

Hypocrates said "let your food be your medicine and your r-ec.icino
be your food", Most medicines are administered- orally. Herbs
induce a natural healing by correcting the imbalance effected in
the human body by sore reason or other. Evon in healing a wound
this is tree. Admitting the power of the medicine we take we have
to admit also the power of whatever else is consumed. There is a
lack of lo£±c iti the advise of r physician who tells you -"No
diet, cat whatever you like". He considers a s--a.ll tablet ho
prescribes powerful and stomach!ull of other things jus.t 'neutral'
To-ether with treatment goes r correct food habit. If we know
that the present fodid habit of a patient is not correct, atluast
we would correct if for the tine being. This we call diet. This
means the supportive fouu is used and those not supportive
avoided.

Herbal Medicine, Propai a.tipn and ad;-inis trot ion
The herbalists follow as a rule this simple principle. "Ono
disease one Medicine". but there are also ferrules where several
medicines are nixed together. Medicines arc in a formol work
like a group of people. If they have team spirit they r-ix well
and rake a wonderful perform-nee. But if they are inactive or if
chey clash, the -c-rk is rendered difficult. The principle of
single herbal medicine works well by ‘lelpin,., the body to
revitalize its functions in a uniform direction. A forj-ula of
different medicines can help better by accelerating this process
or can work in different directions and help different functions
simultaneously. But for this we have to rely upon proven
formulas. Otherwise we may not £ot the desired eff.ct, or con
run the risk of a olas-. of effects.

In administering the medicine several methods ate used. The
ayurvedic terminology of practises and a short description is
gi/en below.
a. For orp.l adyiinistratiqn
1. Swarasa. (juice)- The whole apart plant or part is slashed
thoroughly and the juice is extracted by squeezing it out. This
is one of the most suitable because most of the contents ate
present in the original form. But it may not be possible always due
to the nature of the staff and unpalatable taste etc.
2. Quath a. (boiled) The medicine is just boiled in water. The
volatile oils and vapourous materials are obtained to some extent.
Quick dissolving end aromatic medicines are less used in this
form.
3. Ka.shaya (decoction) Not only boiled but thoroughly cooked and
the extract reduced and made into concentrate.(usually reduced to
1/3) while a good amount of the substance, is obtained a considerable
port is lost in the process.

4. .{{hole plant paste., well smashed and ground taken either as portion
or swallowed as balls.

and taken in with, or without a medium.

VITAL ENERGY

Feeling Good With Natural Remedies

Modem Herbal Philosophy; vital Energy
Vital Energy is the flow of energy through one's body. This can be likened to a river that gets unnatural
ly clogged or dammed, stopping the normal flow of its energy. The river forms a stagnant pool which,
as I’m sure you've all seen, breeds abundant algae and insects in a swampy condition.
There are two very different ways to get rid of such things as mosquito larvae, abundant algae and
other undesirables:
1. The way I was told in high school to get rid of mosquito larvae was to pour oil on the water so
they couldn't breathe. You can also dump poisons into the water to make the environment unbearable
for these organisms. Of course this also destroys most other life-supporting functions in the pond.

2. The other way is to work on dislodging the obstruction damming the river. This lets the river flow
and clean itself naturally.

Our bodies are quite similar to this river. Disease is the blocking of the natural vital energy that flows
through our body. Let us say that at least some of these energy streams are the acupuncture lines in
the body. When the energy is flowing properly along these pathways, it naturally keeps the body clean,
just as the river does. Like a river, the bodily energy flow can handle a certain amount of waste.
To fight disease in our bodies, we can dump in all kinds of chemicals to make the environment unliveable
for the intruder. We can, as an alternative, unplug the system and get the energy flowing again. As
in the case of rivers, if these energy pathways are not obstructed and no wastes are put into them,
the job of cleaning is not as taxing and the energy can then be used to support life.

Thus, our job is not to try to kill disease in our bodies. Our job is to keep the body free of energy obstruction
so the natural vital energy flows throughout the body selecting, disintegrating, absorbing, assimilating
and converting foodstuffs. In other words, we don't try to take on the role of trying to cure diseases:
we merely assist the vital energy in our bodies to flow in an unobstructed way.
Herbs, in this sense, are not really considered medicines. They are just specialized foods which help
vital energy flow, being somewhat selective in where their energy is directed. The 'personality' of the
herb will be attracted to certain areas of the body similar to different types of people associating in
like-minded' groups. For example, Juniper Berries have a ’personality' that strongly influences the kidneys.

This “Vital Energy is just one part of a modern herbalist's understanding of how herbs work. To understand
the chemical interactions the herbs have on the human physiological mechanism is just as significant.
Most herbalists feel that one is fairly ineffective without the other. The 'Vital Energy” of the herb is
what makes it work. For something to work in a live biological system it has to have life energy. Herbs,
with their own life essence, work in harmony with the biological system to enact healing.

A pharmaceutical will copy the chemical makeup of a herb, but it can only work by overpowering

used when the body needs this life energy the most. In a medical crisis, for example, the pharmaceutical's
power and fast action of the chemical are necessary. Of course, there may arise some side effects that
have to be dealt with, but usually they can be best balanced out by herbal treatment later.

The Ecology of Energy
The ecology of the energy that we use in our body, and for that matter, any biological system, is impor
tant to understand. We don't really eat because it tastes good or because it looks nice! The main reason
for eating is to take energy into our body. All the food we eat is really little packets of energy that we
use to animate ourselves, think or even read this page. We are a big nutritional factory that processes
foodstuffs to give us energy, at least on the biological level. I eat an apple because it looks good, tastes
good but more specifically because I need the energy it gives me. This energy is the Vital or biological
energy that is in the food. Where does this energy come from?

The major energy source of our solar system is the sun, of course, and that is where our energy originates.
Some 93 million miles away, the sun acts as a very efficient nuclear reactor, and produces untold amounts
of energy. The plane t Earth is fortunate in that it has developed a system for capturing this solar energy.
In Fig. 1.1 (Page 6| we have a summary of the whole process.

The Sun shines upon our planet where plants have the capability of capturing some ot this energy.
thus putting the energy into the biological system (Fig 1.2). Plants are the only biological system that
can capture this solar energy to be used by the rest of the biological systems on this planet. One can
easily see that the plant kingdom has a very important responsibility in being the sole collector ot biological
energy for our planet. It is also easy to sec that the plant kingdom takes this responsibility very seri
ously, as plants seem completely dedicated to their job and the sun! If I have a potted plant in my win
dow it will bend towards the sun. If 1 turn the plant around it will switch its direction again orienting
itself toward the sun. Of course it is impossible for us to consider what a plant might feel, but this level
of complete dedication to the sun that the plants give almost seems like they feel' that the sun is their
God. Could this be why some ancient human cultures conceived of.the Sun as their God?

THE^ECOLOGY

Fig.

1■1

OF

ENERG^

Feeling Good With Natural Remedies

Looking at the situation a bit closer we can see what happens on a molecular level (Fig 1.3). When
the Solar energy hits a chlorophyll molecule in the green parts of the plant the Magnesium (Mg) atoms'
electrons are excited. In our simplified diagram of the Magnesium atom (lug 1.3 &• 1 4) we see that
the orbital of the electron has expanded. We could make this anology to a person jumping for joy when
something very exciting is happening. The plant in its complete dedication to the Sun seems to get very’
excited (or at least its Mg molecules do!) when the radiation of the Sun shines upon it. This whole pro
cess is very simplified but is of the utmost importance, because this excitation of Magnesium represents
the entrance of solar energy into the Earth's biological system. All other organisms live off this energy.
Can we say then that the primary source of biological energy on our planet is the dedication that the
plants have to the Sun? (Some Alchemists believe Grat this is a good model to look at. If complete dedication
is given to one's God, then all the energy necessary for existence will be given back.)

H - C - 0“

HO- C - H

This'excited'energy is passed onto other molecules, such as ATP and NADPH2, for short - time storage
in the plant cell (Fig 1.4). We can consider them solar batteries, and in my diagram I have signified
diem as a "Durasol Solar Battery” (the solar-topped battery). This Solar energy, now converted to Biological
energy is available to do work in the organism or to be stored in the form of nutrients such as a simple
sugar called glucose. The basic energy manufacturing process of nature occurs through a series of chemical
reactions, one of the best being "the Krebs Cycle". If we now take two units of working energy and

- 7 -

Feeling Good With Natural Remedies
put it into the Krebs Cycle, with this basic stored energy, we get 38 units of working energy out on
the other side of the reaction! This energy can be used elsewhere to make raw chemicals into various
nutrients for the plant such as Glycosides, Alkaloids, Vitamins and many other nutrients. The key point
here is that it takes the excited energy of the original solar energy, being passed along the system, to
activate these molecules. All of these biologically made nutrients have their molecules made up of excited
electrons, energy from the original solar excitement of the Magnesium molecule. Chemicals are basically
shells that carry energy. We survive on biological energy. 1 have to eat living organisms with biological
energy to survive. If this were not true my lower jaw would be different, being more like a bulldozer
for scooping up dirt, thus getting all of the minerals needed for my body. The plants do this for me;
they pull the minerals out of the ground, filling them with live biological energy so that 1 can use them.
Since my primary need for eating is to obtain this biological energy, 1 eat plants or organisms that eat plants.

Fig

' 5

To gain its energy a herbivore eats plants and a carnivore eats herbivores. (Fig 1.6 & 1.7) To get our
energy we can eat from any of these groups, as we are of a higher group. (Fig 1.8) It is interesting to
note that any waste materials, either in the form of excrement or parts not completely eaten, at recycled
via the micro-organisms. This compost makes it very much easier on the plants because now they do
not have to convert all nutrients into biologically usable forms, since some nutrients absorbed from
the soil are already in this form, and only need to get charged up.
Now what does all of this have to do with feeling good with natural remedies'.’

It is easy to see that to keep our solar batteries charged we need biological energy. What is most dis-ease,
but a lack of proper biological energy? When 1 am sick 1 need certain types of nutrients to help heal
me. These nutrients are really chemicals that are shells specific to my energy needs. Since I am looking
more for the energy contained in the chemical than the shell itself 1 want the chemical with the best
type of energy available, biological energy. 1 will normally be better served with chemicals that come
from the biological realm.

Along comes Man (Fig 1.9) with his isolated views of the universe and looks at the problem to make
a "better" way. Looking at the way a plant makes a chemical that has traditionally been used for a cer
tain health problem, man realizes he can make it cheaper and faster, therefore making profits for himself
and his company. The big problem is that the scientist didn't realize that there is much more to plants
and man than just chemicals. Man cannot live by chemicals alone. The only way that these chemicals
can work in a biological system is to be activated by biological energy. Synthetic chemicals have to
take the energy from the biological system they are in. These synthetic chemicals, which might be useful
in crisis medicine, don't really have a place in our day to day life.

These synthetic chemicals, because of their lack of Biological energy, have to be taken in fairly large
quantities to work. Synthetic chemicals work like a bulldozer pushing chemicals down certain biochemical
pathways. Since there are often side branches to these pathways a person often gets side effects from
(hem. Herbs, on the other hand, have the Biological energy already in them, so the same quantity of
chemical is not needed to achieve the job. This has a threefold benefit:

1.

Because the biological energy in the herb is in "harmony” with the biological needs of the body the
herbal chemical most often goes down the right pathway without side effects.

2.

We don't have the possibilities of as many side effects because of the lower quantity of chemical

3.

Biological energy is given to the body during this process, not taken as in the case of the synthetic
chemical.

These benefits are not without any drawbacks though. Herbal energy takes much longer to form its
benefit. Herbals are just not as fast as synthetic chemicals. This is why a smart Herbalist will often
surrender to a practitioner of synthetic chemicals in a crisis situation and then will try to clean up the
side effects later.
A consumer (Fig 1.10) has to make aware decisions of how to best help themselves and their family
in disease situations; to be able to decide between the synthetic way and the natural way. That is what
this book is about - Feeling Good with Natural Remedies.

There is still another major question to answer about herbs and that is: In what form is it best to take herbs'?

METHOD OF HERBAL PREPARATION

The essence of a herb can be best obtained in the usable form of a menstruum. The most common
menstruums are water, alcohol and apper cider vinegar.

Different common methods for the preparation of Herbs

Herbs have traditionally been available in four forms: teas (infusions], capsules/tablets, fluid extract
and tinctures. Each form has its own advantage. Teas are valuable because the medicinal ingredient
of the herb are in solution (menstruum), thereby allowing efficient absorption of the active ingredients
Capsules, on the other hand, are very convenient. They can be taken anytime and anywhere, and becaus
the herb is encapsulated, its often unpalatable taste is shielded. Fluid extracts and tinctures are valuabl
because they are the most potent form of the herb. They also store for long periods of time, and because
of their strength, small doses are as effective as larger doses of the same herb in another form.

However, each of these forms has its disadvantages. Medicinal teas are often unpalatable and inconve
nient, requiring special preparation: therefore, people do not take them as often as they should. Caf
sulated crude herbs, in spite of their remarkable convenience, are hard to digest because the activ
ingredients of the herb are entrapped within cellulose cages with no menstruum to release the essence
Only an optimally functioning digestive system (something we seldom see) can fully release them. Fluii

Feeling Good With Natural Remedies

The Quadgyric Method
The QUADGYRIC METHOD is special. It combines all the advantages of the above four forms and
yet eliminates all of their disadvantages. By PRE-INFUSING the herbs in special solutions (menstruums)
in an advanced manufacturing technique, it liberates the active ingredients of the herbs from their cellulose
entrapment. They are then redeposited on their original cellulose base. This is similar to making a tea
but keeping the base that was used in the first place. You get the whole herb and nothing but the herb,
with its essence activated.

recognise the medicinal plant and identify it correctly.

Second

acquire the knowledge of the medicinal properties of the plants,
get the skills in prepatting and administrating them. Together
with this one should have learned the skills to diagnose the
disease(under whatever system it may be).

A loving concern for

the suffering fellowrnen is presupposed, of course. Then only,
one can# attempt to try herbal medicine.

There is no magic

selection of the herb is according to the diagnosis of the disease

and ^according to the availability of the suitable plant. Locally

comes the decision on the dosage and the method of preparation
and application.

HOME

REMEDIES

INTRODUCTION

The history of medicine is as old as the history of man.

Attempts

at tackling illness and maintaining health have originated at each
hearth and home, becoming an inextricable part of local culture
and way of life.

The earliest trials have been instinctive and revolved around easily

available HOME and HERBAL REMEDIES.
The essential differences in practices between people to people
depends on their tradition and culture. What is remarkable in these

traditions is that certain practices are common to most people, using

the same or similar herbs for specific illnesses

"FOR FAR TOO LONG, TRADITIONAL SYSTEMS OF MEDICINE AND
'MODERN' MEDICINE HAVE GONE THEIR SEPERATE WAYS IN
MUTUAL ANTIPATHY. YET ARE NOT THEIR GOALS IDENTICAL
.............. TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF MANKIND AND THEREBY

THE DUALITY OF LIFE?

ONLY THE BLINKERED MIND WOULD

ASSUME THAT EACH HAS NOTHING TO LEARN FROM THE OTHER".
- H.MAHLER, formerly Director Genral W.H.O.
The World Health Organisation defines Traditional Medicine as "the

sum total of all the knowledge and practices, whether explicable or
not, used in diagnosis, prevention and elimination of physical,
mental or social imbalance and relying exclusively on practical
experience and observation, handed down from generation to generation,

whether verbally or in writing".
HERBAL MEDICINE AND HOME REMEDIES is one such tradition in India.
The Government of India officially recognises formalised systems of

medicine like Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Yoga, Naturopathy and

Homoeopathy.

The non-formalized systems like tribal medicine,

herbal and home remedies which have provided the basis, sustenance
and rejuvenation avenues to these systems remain unrecognised because

of their inherent amorphous nature.

.. 2

2
Several of the important and useful medicines we use today come
from plants.

Many of these have now been synthesized, yet it is

in many instances easier, cheaper and with less side-effects to
obtain medicines directly from plants.
THE NEED FOR HERBAL / HOME REMEDIES :
The W.H.O. has resolved to provide Health for All by 2000 A.D.,

and India as a member is committed to this objective.

The need

to use all resources to achieve this is well appreciated.

"THE COUNTRY HAS A LARGE STOCK OF HEALTH MANPOWER....
IN VARIOUS SYSTEMS.

THIS RESOURCE HAS NOT SO FAR

SEEN ADEQUATELY UTILIZED."

- National Health Policy - 198$,
Govt, of India.

According tc "World Drug Situation", less than 30% of the Indian

population has access to Allopathic drugs.

"Inspite of a network

of Primary Health Centres and sub-centres, villages have to depend

upon their traditional healers and healing methods because of their
availability, accessibility, dependability and utility".
healers and their methods are based on herbs!

These

Thus a significant

number of people depend on herbal and home remedies as their only

health resource, or as a substitute for or complement to modern
medicine.

They use it because they regard this as "their" system,

in which they will always have faith and belief.

"Herbal remedies will be with us for a long time.

It is therefore

important to bring the use of these remedies into an existing
framework of rational, scientific use of medicines".
HOLISTIC APPROACH

It is being increasingly understood that illness is not only a
breakdown in biochemical, physical or mental terms.

It is a

disharmony in social, psychological and spiritual areas too.

The

traditional practitioner often depends on his ability to mobilize
patients hopes, restore morale and gain re-acceptance in Society
in addition to the herbs used. This concern with the totality of
human functions in Society raises traditional practices to HOLISM.

will be helping this endeavour at whatever level and
whichever capacity you are operating in.

FOCUS ON ViTAL MEDiCiNAL PLANTS
The medicinal heritage of India is quite ancient, dating back to over 3000 years.
The local communities, including tribals and aboriginals living in different ecosystems
from Himalayas to Kanyakumari, use over 7000 plant species of diverse habits
comprising of grasses, herbs, shrubs, trees, climbers and orchids, as the main resource
base of the herbal medicine . Documenting these vital plants offers a great opportunity
for developing a consortium between the informal folk knowledge like Ayurveda, Siddha,
orllnani medicine and the modern scientific medical knowledge. In all about 700 species
of medicinal plants have been documented so far, of which, nearly 300 species have the
threatened status. Most of these plants are known and utilized by herb doctors and
Ayurvedic vaidyas.

Rauwolfia serpentina, which yields a commercially valuable drug, reserpine, ut^
in the treatment of blood pressure (BP) is an Indian forest herb. The Western
pharmaceutical firm has developed this drug on the basis of knowledge gained from
medical practice of a tribal group in Kerala.

The systematic studyof the botanical knowledge of a social group, its use of locally
available plants as food, clothing, medicine and religious rituals, has developed as a
special branch of plant science - Ethnobotany. Pharmacognosy, on the other hand is a
branch of medical science dealing with the study of drug plants.
The drug plants are classified mainly based on the morphology of plant organs
from which the drug is obtained . These include the roots, underground stems, barks,
stems and woods, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds and all parts. The medicinal value of drug
plants stems from certain chemical substances found in the plant tissues which produce
a definite physiological action on the human body. The vital chemical compounds include
the alkaloids, glucosides, essential oils, fatty acids, resins, mucilages tannins, gums etc.

The inventorying effort in the present work is limited to 1 37 vital medicinals plants,
most of which are found in the forests of Dakshina Kannada . The prime objective of this
work is to make some valuable contributions to the preparation of the ongoing villas.

IVrAI.ARIA :

Alternative Eyes.

Malaria is a scourge that is making a reentry in the public health scene in our
country. During the 'golden period' of our public health system during the 1960's
we even believed that we could eradicate the disease, and with good reason.
The massive progress that the public health system achieved post
independence was indeed commendable. However with a sudden slackening
of pace, motivation and direction, Malaria has raised its ugly head again.At a
point like this, when the country is struggling both with resurgent diseases and
with an ever increasing resource crunch, our eyes naturally turn to the
'Alternatives'.
It is a fact that - quoting Dr. Harcharan Singh (former health advisor to Planning
Commission.)" More than 60 - 70% of the population is in the rural areas and of
this for nearly 80 % the first contact is with practioners of the Indian systems of
medicine." [1] This alone is a good reason to explore these alternatives. More
than this is the fact that these systems use locally available and relevant and
most of the time acceptable methods of treatment. This is very important in the
light of Primary Health Care's stress on locally ’ affordable, accessible and
relevant health care.'

However before looking to to the Indian Systems of Medicine for 'all the answers'
a few points need to noted.

1)

The Indian systems of medicine approach health and disease through
completely different paradigms. They do not accept the mind-body divide,
and infact stretch the mind -body complex to involve society, nature and the
cosmos as a whole.
2) The Indian Systems of Medicine are primarily sciences of promotion of health
- curing diseases comes later. Unlike allopathy, where more emphasis is
given to curing and promotion and prevention is relegated to a separate
speciality.
3) Using the seed and soil metaphor - while allopathy is concentrating more
and more on the seed (micro organisms, bio-chemisrtry,genetics) , the
Indian Systems concentrate more on the soil (the mind-body - society
complex, the resistance and humoral balance I imbalance that allows
disease.
4) Diagnosis in Indian Systems are to a large extent based on the subjective
elements and that to based on the patients constitution, horoscope etc.,
and therefore doesn't have similar disease classifications as in allopathy.
Though Ayurveda iitself accepts the concepts of 'External causation' [2] most
other systems are not so explicit.

Deriving from the above points one can appreciate the following which will
indeed play an important role in the dialectics of Malaria - through the
Alternative systems.

•
•
•

•

•

There is no 'malaria' in the Indian Systems.
There are however equivalents such as 'vishamajwara' in Ayurveda etc.,
Treatment therefore is individually oriented and based on that persons
constitution etc.,
There are certain medications, usually general in nature that are given, more
specific additions will be given depending on a) the patient's constitution
and b) the physician's level of expertise and wisdom.
More important however in the Alternative approach are the various
preventive and promotive aspects of 'Malaria control' such as
■ insect repellant plants I herbs
■ Prophylactic fever mixtures
■ Prophylactic diet changes - seasonal etc..

These may be effectively used , and if adopted in a systematic way with the
cooperation of both the Government and the people will definitely go a long
way in keeping a check on 'Malaria'.
Of course the question arises - as to what proof we have that any of these
therapies work- and are not merely figments of imagination. To this question I
would propose the following answers that are more a directions to solutions
rather than directives.

The remedies / techniques have been tried and tested for centuries, though
his may not be 'acceptable' proof of their usefullness. Traditional knowledge
certainly points to techniques that may be further studied and adopted.
2) Since the framework on which the Indian Systems of medicine are based
are so different, research on the effectiveness have to stress on the outcomes
- patients subjective outcomes (rather than biochemical parametres and
microscopic evidence which may or may not 'improve') Even though the
necessity of this may be hard to comprehend it is useful to remember that
Ayurveda never claimed , in the case fo CVA , for example, that there was
no thrombo embolism, they merely concentrate on 'increased vata' - and
attempt to cure the increased vata. , just as allopaths try to cure the
thrombembolism and not vata. Will allopaths agree on evaluation of their
medicines using Ayurvrdic parameters ? I s that necessary at all ? Isn't the
final outcome more important ? Atleast isn't that what we must concentrate
on especially given the fact that we are comparing two completely different
paradigms.

1)

3

In conclusion turning to Troditonol Indian Systems of Medicine , or adopting their
techniques etc,, will be worth while for the following reasons.
• They are close to the people , most techniques being easily available,
affordable and understandable by the people.
• They are any way the first contact for nearly 60-70 % of our population.
• Their techniques are tried and tested over centuries, and may very well
introduced for direct evaluation experiments.
However the following are to be remembered ,
• Any research methodology to evaluate these systems' efficacy need to be
carefully planned, so as to preserve the individuality of each system and not
'allopathise' them, each system has unique perceptual and therapeutic
contributions to make.
• Merely looking at Indian systems of Medicine as economically viable
alternatives, will be missing a lot of their significance and relevance. A lot of
their values need be understood and adopted ( an exaple of such values is
given in the essay Ayurveda and epidemics".

The dangers of using herbs
What your patients need to know

Mel Borins, MD, CCFP
PREVIEW
Herbal remedies are becoming increasingly popular among patients as
treatment for such varied medical problems as arthritis, depression, dia
betes, menstrual irregularity, and pulmonary conditions. However, there

are many negative effects of herbal preparations. Dr Borins discusses the
potential side effects of various herbs and the lack of standardization and

control that can contribute to contamination and toxicity of herbal products.

erbs have been used for
medicinal purposes since
rhe beginning of recorded
time. Many of our modern drugs,
including digitalis, atropine, and
narcotic derivatives, have been
developed from plants.1 Physi
cians even may prescribe herbs
for various health problems:
feverfew for migraines, garlic for
hyperlipidemia, yohimbine for
erectile dysfunction, and senna
tfor constipation.
According to estimates, some
80% of the world’s population
rely primarily on traditional med
icines for their primary' health
care needs, and a major part of
traditional therapy involves the
use of plant extracts or their ac
tive ingredients.2 Herb use by
many segments of the population
is continually increasing.3 Of 114
randomly selected patients at
tending a university-based AIDS
clinic, 25 (22%) reported using

H

one or more herbal products in
the previous 3 months.'1 Patients,
especially those originally from
Europe or Asia, often take herbs
before visiting their physician.
They may try a remedy used by
their family in the Old Country
or may take an herbal medicine
popularized in health food stores,
given to them by a nonphysician
healthcare provider, or recom
mended by a friend.
Herbs, like drugs, have certain
indications and side effects (table
1). The correct use of herbs re
quires a clear understanding of
how they work. Although most
herbs are safe, they can cause
problems.
Inadequate standardization
and quality control

Many herbs are sold as teas, foods,
and food supplements. Because
they are not sold as drugs, no

proof of efficacy or warnings
about side effects are required.
When a drug is prescribed, the
dosage and quality of the sub
stance are more or less assured.
However, there is no such stan
dardization or quality control for
herbal formulations. Thus pa
tients must be warned to be cau
tious when using herbs.
The potency of herbs can vary,
depending on the climatic and
soil conditions where they were
grown. At the Toyama Medical
and Pharmaceutical University
Hospital in Japan, fresh herbs
from around the world are col
lected, and each batch is analyzed.
Great differences in the presence
of active substances have been
found, depending on where the
herbs were grown and how long
(up to several months) they were
allowed to stand. In the Toyama
Hospital, many of the fresh herbs
are kept in a special temperaturecontrolled storage area to ensure
quality control.
Contamination, mislabeling,
and misidentification of herbs are
also problems. According to re
ports, herbal preparations do not
always contain what their label
claims, and when the ingredients
are analyzed, the supposed active
substance of the preparation may

importer or retailer mistakes one
herb for another, serious prob
lems can take place.
Sometimes patients do not
even know what they are taking.
For example, patients who visit a
Chinese traditional medicine
practitioner and receive a pre
scription written in Chinese for a
product sold at a Chinese herbal
store are usually unaware of the
prescription's contents. If they
experience side effects, it is diffi

Heavy metals such as arsenic,
mercury, lead, and cadmium, as
well as the prescription drugs

prednisone, testosterone, and di

in many societies. Hmong people
from Laos use a lead-containing
preparation, Pay-loo-ah, and
cases of lead poisoning and con

mercury have been reported.
A^kon, which contains lead
tetroxide, and Greta, which con
tains lead oxide, are Mexican
folk remedies that have caused
toxic effects.
Heavy metals are also used in
some of the remedies of Ayurveda,
a traditional healing system of
India.11 A 35-year-old man took

ing that resulted from the rem
edies. The tablets he took con
tained high levels of lead as well
as mercury and arsenic.12
A similar case of lead poison
ing occurred in a Korean man
who bought several bags of dried
herbs containing hat ge fen (clam
shell powder) from a Chinese
herbalist in New York. The adul
terated clamshell powder con
tained high amounts of lead and
arsenic.1'
Practitioners of espiricismo, a
spiritual belief system indigenous
to Puerto Rico and other Carib
bean islands, use mercury both as
good luck and as protection from
evil and the envy of others. This
practice is hazardous and can lead
to mercury poisoning.H
Toxic side effects

Generally, herbs which have stood
the test of time are safe, but these,
too, have been known to cause
toxic reactions. Cases of cyanide
poisoning have been reported in
people who have ingested the
seeds, bark, or leaves of apricots,
cassava beans, cherries, choke

94

cherries, peaches, plums, and
other fruits. Licorice, used for
treating gastrointestinal problems,
can cause hypokalemia, hyperten
sion, sodium and water retention,
and cardiac problems.15 Sassafras
root bark and calamus are believed
to be carcinogenic in animals.
In Hong Kong and Australia,
Chinese herbal medicines con
taining the aconites caowu (the
root of Aconitum kusnezoffii)
and chuanwu (the main root of
Aconitum carmichaeli) are used
to treat rheumatism, arthritis,
bruises, and fractures. These herbs
contain variable amounts of toxic
alkaloids and can cause danger
ous irregular heartbeats, cardio
vascular collapse, and even death.16
Renal failure developed m 48
women after they used a Chinese
herbal therapy for weight loss.1’
The herbal preparation may have
contained nephrotoxic contami
nants of fungal or plant origin,
accounting for the nephrotoxicity'.
Ginseng, a commonly used
herb that seems to have many
positive benefits, can potentially
cause hypertension, nervousness,
skin rashes, and sleeplessness.18

Many patients believe that ca
thartics sold in the form of teas or
herbs are acceptable to take, but
the continued use of cathartics
for constipation can be danger
ous. Cathartic use causes depen
dency, or the so-called lazy-bowel
problem. Furthermore, patients
who self-medicate often avoid
seeing their doctor and thus delay
the diagnosis of a serious but
treatable disorder. Buckthorn
bark, senna, dock roots, and even
the wonder plant, aloe vera, can
have fairly strong irritant cathar
tic effects and cause diarrhea if
used indiscriminately.
Anticholinergic effects

Many common plants, such as
catnip, juniper, lobelia, jimson
weed, wormwood, and nutmeg,
can have deleterious anticholin
ergic and hallucinogenic effects.
Allergic reactions

Patients who are allergic to any
member of the Compositae fam
ily, which includes asters, chry
santhemums and, most important,
ragweed, should also avoid teas
made from goldenrod, marigold,
yarrow, St John’s wort, and cham
omile because of the problem
with cross-reactivity'. Chamomile
is often used as a mild sedative
and as a remedy for minor diges
tive disorders and skin problems.

strual irregularities, and ruta, hydrastis, and oregano in highly
concentrated capsules should be
used with extreme caution during
pregnancy. Any herb that is an
emmenagogue or menstrual regu
lator can potentially be an aborti
facient.'’
Hepatitis

C^^rey, a popular folk remedy
in Europe and North America, is
claimed to be useful in the treat
ment of arthritis and skin, pul
monary, and gastrointestinal con
ditions but has been shown to
contain pyrrolicidine alkaloids,
which cause liver damage and
cancer in both animals and
humans.
Germander, mistletoe, chapar
ral, and ragwort have also been
suspected of causing hepatitis.

Chuen-Lin, a popular Chinese
herb commonly given to newborns
in the Chinese community, does
not cause hepatitis but can have
a significant effect in displacing
bilirubin from its serum protein
binding sites and can cause an in
crease in bilirubin levels. The use
of this herb should be properly
supervised and discontinued in
cases of neonatal jaundiced'

Traditional healing
Use of herbs for healing is espe
cially important in developing
nations, where the cost of drugs is
prohibitive, accessibility to drugs
in rural areas is virtually nonexis
tent, and there is a shortage of
physicians. In remote areas, herbs
can be grown locally. The popu
lace trusts the effects of herbs and
believes that herbs require less
medical supervision than drugs.
Healers in traditional societies
use herbal remedy recipes that
have been handed down from
one generation to another within
families/1 In Thailand, the ma
jority of the population live in
rural areas, but the majority of
physicians live in cities. The
ministry of health has developed
a handbook that includes a chap
ter on common herbs used for
medical problems and is encour
aging members of the rural pop
ulation to grow these herbs in
their gardens and fields and use
them accordingly.

Ayurvedic, Siddha, and Unani
medicine are traditional systems
of healing in India that use herbal
remedies which have been passed
down for hundreds of years.
Many of the articles in journals
of Ayurvedic and Unani medi
cine describe double-blind studies
showing the successful use of
herbal formulas for treating con
ditions such as asthma, vitiligo,
and rheumatoid arthritis. How
ever, many of these trials are ig
nored by today’s physicians, be
cause they were not conducted in
Western countries.

Herb use. continued

In China, the practice of tradi
tional Chinese medicine is firmly
established. There are more than
5,000 kinds of Chinese medicinal
herbs, 700 patent Chinese medi
cine factories, and 1,500 factories
producing Chinese herbal pills
and decoctions. Research studies
conducted in China confirm the
efficacy of herbs for most medical
conditions.

^Advice for patients

In light of the potential hazards
of herbal remedies, what advice
should physicians give patients?
Tell them to be cautious about
taking any herbal preparations,
especially those purchased out
side the United States. Encour
age patients to bring in the for
mulations, so you can read the
labels and familiarize yourself
with what they are taking. Warn
patients not to believe unsub
stantiated claims for miracle
cures. Explain what kind of rel^larch goes into our drug formu
lations and what a double-blind,
randomized, controlled study is;
compare that with the anecdotal
information about herbal ther
apy. Ask patients to bring in their
educational sources.
Tell patients to buy herbs from
a reputable source and to get ad
vice from a licensed health pro
fessional who is officially trained
in the prescribing of herbs. Re
inforce that all remedies should

be clearly labeled and all ingredi
ents listed. Warn pregnant pa
tients not to take herbs unless
their safety can be assured. Ad
vise patients to tell you if they
are taking herbs so you can moni
tor any side effects. Do not casu
ally dismiss patient inquiries; be
prepared to listen and leam.
There are hundreds of books
for the layperson that extol the
benefits of herbs but very few
that adequately discuss the con
traindications and side effects.
Unfortunately, very little research
explores the interactions between
drugs and herbs. I recommend
The New Honest Herbal: A Sen
sible Guide to the Use of Herbs and
Related Remedies" as an easy-toread guide on both the positive
and negative effects of herbs.

Conclusion
Herbs, which have been used by
people for thousands of years, have
great potential for use by today's
physicians. Certainly many pa
tients are using herbs even without
physician supervision. The onus
is on every physician to ask pa
tients about their potential use of
herbs. The benefits and side effects
of commonly used herbs should
be taught m all medical schools,
and more research is needed to
clarify how we can incorporate
this age-old approach into our
standard medical practice, pcm

Dear Friends ,

The Foundation for Revitalisation of Local Health Traditions,
Bangalore, is launching a project for establishment of a network of "green
health community nurseries", for raising and distributing medicinal plants,
in the three southern states of Karnataka, Tamilnadu and Kerala.
The project is to be funded by CAPART, New Delhi, and implemented
largely through NGOs, working in the field of community health and
environment, in urban and rural areas, of these three states.These
implementing agencies will be selected on the basis of their available
nursery infrastructure and resources and their experience in the management
of nurseries.
Under this project only "seed support" or working capital can be
provided to existing nurseries to start: a medicinal plants section . The
medicinal plants raised are expected to, be "sold" at reasonable prices to
various user groups so that seed support is recovered and can be used as
a revolving fund to help other nursery enterprises.
Different kinds of "medicinal plant packages" can be raised by the
nursery to suit the needs of different user groups. The following table
lists the various packages that can be raised by the nurseries:
Sno.

Packages/User Groups

1.

PHC Package for rural
households (25 plants, mainly
shrubs, herbs arid a few trees)

PHC Package for urban
households (25 plants, mainly
shrubs, herbs and a few trees)

Pricing pattern
To be priced at "no profit
I no loss" basis or even
(subsidised rates if
necessary.
This should be priced
reasonably.

2.

Institutional package (100-120)
plants for schools/colleges/
factories/educational and
research institutes.

This should be priced
reasonably.

3.

Various commercial packages
like
-ornamental plants of
medicinal value
-flowering plants of medicinal
value.

This should be priced
reasonably.

Educational packages (Med.
plants should be grouped
according to med. uses) eg.
plants good for fever/diabetes
etc.

This should ,be reasonably
priced. I

a
project
for
establishment of a network of "green health community nurseries"
for raising and distributing medicinal plants, in the villages
and cities of Karnataka, Tamilnadu and Kerala.
1.

The objective of this project is to supply medicinal
plants for the PHC needs of various user groups in rural and
urban areas, to name a few i
1)
providing easily accessible and low-cost PHC facilities
in the form of medicinal plants to low income groups

which is not toxic like some ofl the modern chemical
drugs, to many other social groups.
3)
providing medicinal plants to Indian research
institutes, educational institutions etc. .
4)
providing medicinal plants (planting materials) to
Indian pharmaceutical firms and; other industries
manufacturing commercial products based on these, (in
keeping with the provisions of Indian Bio-diversity
protection laws)
Last but not the least, also : to create a public
awareness on '
a) the need to conserve medicinal plants.
b) the need to use them sustainably.
c) the need to build on India's rich and diverse
cultural traditions in health care for fulfilling contemporary
needs.

NEEM TOOTH BRUSH

Half a billion people use neem as a
toothbrush.

The average

toothbrush

and a tube of toothpaste at a US
drug store each cost more than a

dollar.

this

Does

make

the

toothbrush application a billion dollar

business ? If so, the neem value as
a

chewstick

toothbrush

is

worth

magnitudes more than the medicinal
exports of India.

SOME FACTS ON UTILISATION OF
MEDICINAL PLANTS

> Over 7000 species of plants are used in

health care by village communities in India.
> 25-60 per cent of plant biodiversity in every
ecosystem is used for health care.
> More plants are used by village

communities for human and animal
health than as food, fodder, fuel or timber.

MEDICINAL PLANTS CAN HEAL
Examples
> RAUVOLFIA SERPENTINA -

for regulating Blood Pressure
> PHYLLANTHUS AMARUS -

for Hepatitis B
> OFFICINALE -

for Malaria
> HOLARRHENA ANTIDYSENTERICA -

for Chronic Amoebiasis
> ADHATODA vasica -

for Simple Coughs
> EPHEDRA GERARDIANA -

for Bronchodilation
> TINOSPORA CORDIFOLIA -

for Leukaemia
> AZADIRACHTA INDICA -

for Oral contraception, Dental Care, Skin
Disorders, Eyes
90% of plant based modern drugs have drawn their clues

from folk medical knowledge.

IMAGINE

Can you imagine how many years of

research it would take to recreate a

medical heritage like ours ? —

> We use over 7000 plants

> Which have over 15,000 formulations

> And is documented in approximately

100,000 manuscripts.

SAVE OUR HERITAGE

Biodiversity and cultural diversity go

hand-in-hand. If we lose our cultural
heritage, biodiversity loss will follow.

ACT NOW?

It would be an irreversible civilizational
loss if we do not act now.

THE BASIC CORE ACTIONS OF
THE MISSION

> creation of medicinal plant gardens and

nurseries in every taluk, town, municipality
and city.

-

How the
Conservation of Medicinal Plant Genes
is Linked to Community Action Plan

> The 45 gene parks (30 in situ & 15 ex situ)
will undertake to supply planting materials to
comunity gardens and nurseries

CORE ACTIONS

> Educational literature in vernacular

languages on the self help packages.

I

CORE ACTIONS

> Community registers in every taluk, to

RESEARCH REVIEW IN ► ► FAST-FORWARD ► ►
Abana In Hypercholesterolaemic Rabbits
Tiwari, A.K., et al. Jap. Heart J. (July 1993): (34), 4, 451.

An experimental study of Abana on
hypercholesterolaemic rabbits showed that
Abana reduced the levels of total cholesterol,
LDL and VLDL whereas it increased the HDL
levels. These rabbits were initially fed on a diet
rich in fat and cholesterol for 60 days. They
were then divided into four groups. One group
received Abana for 60 days. Another group
received Abana from days 60 to 120. The
remaining two groups received a placebo and
served as controls for the respective study groups.
Both placebo-treated groups showed elevated
total cholesterol levels along with high VLDL,
LDL and triglyceride levels. On the other hand,

both groups on Abana showed a decrease of all
the above constituents, in addition to increased
HDL levels. Microscopic examination of
sections of the aorta also showed a lesser extent
of atherosclerotic involvement in the Abanatreated groups in comparison to the control
group.
Hence, it can be concluded that Abana checks
the rise of total cholesterol and atherogenic
lipoproteins when administered along with a
high-fat diet. Abana also helps in restoring a
normal lipid profile. Likewise, Abana also
reverses the process of atherogenesis.

Withania somnifera (Ashvagandha)
Withania somnifera, (family: Solanaceae)
popularly known as Ashvagandha, is a perennial
flowering shrub found in the drier parts of India.
It is an erect branching shrub I metre in height.
The stem and calyx are covered sparsely with
hairy tomentum. The leaves are ovate and
alternately placed
on the stem. The
flowers are in
conspicuous and
light green in
colour; the fruit is
an orange-red
berry when ripe,
with numerous
small capsicum
like seeds.
Attempts have
been made to
isolate the active
principles
of
Ashvagandha.
Various
biochemically
heterogenous
alkaloids
and
steroid lactones
commonly called
withanolideshave
been isolated from
various parts of the
plant.
The alkaloids include withanine,
somniferine, somnine, somniferinine,
pseudowithanine, tropine, pseudotropine,3a
tigloyl oxytropane, choline, cuscohygrine,
isopelletierine, anaferine and anahygrine. The
various withano ides identified include
withaferine A withanolide D to M. I New

glycosides, acyl steryl glycosides have been
isolated from the roots and mono-hydric alcohols
from the leaves.

The leaves are applied locally in ulcers, boils

and all other types of skin lesions. It is said to
heal inflammation, sepsis and promote wound
healing.

The roots of Withania somnifera have been
employed as a valuable drug in both Ayurveda
and the Unani systemsof medicine as a neurine
tonic, as a sedative
in the treatment of
insanity, epilepsy
and hypertension.
Ashvagandha is
used in Ayurvedic
formulations for
its adaptogenic
effect.
The
medicinal
properties
attributed to this
plant are probably
due to the mild
sedative effect of
its
active
principles. It is a
mild sedative and
helps
reduce
excitement and
pain. It exhibits
fairly
potent
antiarthritic, antiinflammatory
activities.
The
ground root and crushed leaves are employed
as a local application for carbuncles, ulcers
and painful swellings. The fruits and seeds are
used as diuretics.

Traditionally, Withania somnifera is used in
the treatment of rheumatism, gout,
hypertension, neurine and skin diseases. It is
widely used as a sex stimulant and rejuvenator
and is considered a strength and vigour
promoting drug, especially in geriatric cases.

diet. They were monitored for two years for the
development of pre-malignant lesions. The

a low-fat diet developed an average of three
lesions while those patients who followed their

Is Coconut Oil Bad for Health ?
1. Coconut oil does not raise blood cholesterol.
It has a neutral effect on blood cholesterol, even
in situations where coconut oil is the sole source
of fat.

Psidium guyava

Guava (Amrut, Perala)
The Psidium guyava tree is cultivated all over
India. There are two varieties of Psidiumguyava:
P. pyriferum (white) and P. pomiferum (red).
The bark, fruit and leaves of the tree are useful.
This tree is much valued on account of its
pleasant fruit. The ripe fruit is a good aperient.
When stewed, the fruit forms the well-known
guava jelly. The jelly is a heart tonic and is also
good for constipation.
The unripe fruit is useful in diarrhoea. The
water in which the fruit is soaked alleviates thirst
in diabetes. The root bark is employed in
chronic diarrhoea in infants in the form of a
concentrated decoction. The decoction of the
leaves is useful in scurvy and for ulcers and is
effective as a gargle in cases of swollen gums
and ulceration of the mouth. The leaves when
ground make an excellent poultice.

» 2. Coconut oil in and of itself does not cause
heart disease. Populations that get most of their
fat calories from coconutoil have an exceedingly
low rate of heart disease. These tropical oils
have been consumed as a substantial part of the
diets of many groups for thousands of years with
absolutely no evidence of any harmful effect to^.
the populations consuming them.
w

3. Saturated tats of coconut oil are made up
mostly (65%) of medium chain triglycerides
(MCTs). Patients with malabsorption problems
who cannot digest conventional fats are fed a
formula containing MCTs, a fractionated coconut
oil. A formula containing MCTs is also a lifesaver
for premature babies.
4. Coconut oil is less likely than other oils to
cause obesity because the body easily converts

coconut oil into energy rather than depositing
calories as body fat.
5. Like mother s milk, coconut oil contains a
component that is antimicrobial.

MISCELLANEOUS ABSTRACTS

Forewarners for
Coronary Artery Disease

Good Reason to have a
Hearty Breakfast

Frequent media reports of new risk factors for
Coronary Artery Disease and new potential
protectors, often trivial and sometimes contra
dictory, may distract people from the truly signifi
cant risk factors. Here are just four factors that
have received much attention recently.

1.
Baldness: Men under the age of 55 with a
bald spot on top of the head are substantially
more likely to suffer a heart attack than those
J^with a full head of hair or a receding hairline.
One theory states that the male sex hormones
that cause this type of baldness may also endan
ger the heart. But most researchers believe that
if this type of baldness does pose a risk, it is
minor when compared to, say, smoking or
hypertension. In any case, if you're bald you
can't do anything about the slightly increased
risk, except to be diligent about controlling the
known, modifiable risk factors.

2. Shortness: Several studies have found that
women less than 5 feet tall and men less than 5
feet 6 inches have an elevated risk of heart
attacks. But researchers have pointed out that
the increased risk is comparatively minor. In
A addition, other researchers have suggested the
'"^shorter people in the studies may have been
more likely to come from disadvantaged back
grounds (with poor childhood diets and health
habits), which might account, in part, for their

increased health risks.
3. Earlobe crease: Most studies on this sub
ject have found that men (and sometimes
women) who have a crease across the earlobes

are at an increased risk for CAD.

4. Iron level in the body: A Finnish study
suggests that a high level of iron in the body
dramatically increases the risk of a heart attack.
Meanwhile, continue to eat foods that supply

Heart attacks are most likely to occur during
the hours before and after dawn. One reason
may be that platelets, the cells that help blood to
clot, are stickiest then and thus most likely to
clumptogether. Such clotscan block a coronary
artery already narrowed by atherosclerosis and
trigger a heart attack. Now a new study has
shown that skipping breakfast makes that
morning stickiness worse.

Researchers found that platelets were two
and a half times stickier when the subjects did
not have breakfast than when they did, suggesting
that foregoing breakfast might indeed boost the
risk of morning heart attacks.

HEALTH TIPS FOR
YOUR PATIENTS

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A Safe Way to Remove Ear Wax.

Mentat for Housewives and the Elderly

Ear wax protects the eardrum from dust,
bacteria and other irritants. In the normal course
of events, it gradually dries up in small particles
and migrates to the outer ear. All you needtodo
is wash your ear regularly.

Sir,
I have used Mentat, 2 tablets b.i.d. in
housewives and the elderly with good results.
Housewives reported
improved mental
concentration and could render better care and
attention to their families. Elderly persons who
received Mentat along with Geriforte developed
a sense of well-being and acceptability.

If wax accumulates, take the following steps.
Using an eye dropper, put a drop or two of warm
(not hot) mineral or vegetable oil in each ear
twice a day. Then, using a bulb syringe, flush
with warm water, holding your head upright
and then turning it sideways to allow the water
to drain. If you have a perforated eardrum,
never put any liquid in your ear. Over-thecounter ear wax softeners are harmless, but no
betterthan mineral oil. Avoid hydrogen peroxide
or any products that fizz in the ear because they
cause pressure to build up and might injure the
eardrum.

How Can We Stop Nose Bleed?
A nose bleed can be stopped by the following
measures:
1.
Sit up so that the gravity lowers pressure in
the blood vessels of the nose. Tilt the head a little
forward so that the blood will not run into the
throat.
2.
Pinch the part of the nose between the
bridge and the nostril with the thumb and index
finger continuously for five to ten minutes.
Breathe through the mouth.

3.
After the bleeding stops avoid blowing the
nose too hard and strenuous sports for a few days.
4.
Apply vaseline inside the nostrils to keep
the membranes moist.
Posterior nose bleeding can occur in people
past middle age and also due to a blow on the
nose. This type of nose bleed is difficult to stop.
It can lead to significant blood loss and may
require medical help.
People who take anticoagulants may have
more frequent nose bleeds.

Mentat Helps as an Adjuvant in
the Treatment of Epilepsy
Sir,
I would like to bring to your notice a case of
post encephalitis epilepsy treated with Mentat.
This 7 year old girl had encephalitis 3 years ago
and developed epilepsy preceded by aura. She
also had behavioural and learning disabilities.
She has been on Mentat along with a small dose
of an antiepileptic drug for the last six months.
There has been no recurrence of seizures, and
her intellectual level and social behaviour have
also improved.

"I haven't got your firm's

replied, the small grocer.
"We'll see!" the manager
replied ominously. The next
day the grocer put up a notice:
"Butter: Rs. 10 a kilo for one

It had only been in his window
for 5 minutes when a notice
was put up in the branch of the
chain store:

"Butter: Rs. 7 a kilo for2 weeks."
The grocer replied with another
notice offering butter at Rs.4 a

a further reaction from the

continued until the chain store
was left with a notice in the

"Butter, Rs. 2 a kilo for 6 weeks."

here is now ample documented evidence
that people in both developed and devel
oping countries are purchasing and con
suming herbal remedies and traditional medi
cines in increasing amounts. There is also
evidence that some of the herbal remedies in the
market are not safe, effective and of good quali
ty. This raises the issue of consumer safety.

Symposium on
Herbal Medicines,
Honolulu,

Hawaii, USA,
June 1-4, 1997

It is useful to classify herbal remedies into the
following three categories:
1 Phytomedicines or Phytopharmaceuticals
sold as over-the-counter (OTC) products in
modern dosage forms such as capsules,
tablets and liquids for oral use.
2 Dietary supplements containing herbal
products, also called nutraceuticals, avail
able in modern dosage forms.
These two types of herbal remedies are used by
consumers in developed countries and those in
urban areas of developing countries.

Herbal remedies consisting of either crude,
semi-processed or processed medicinal
plants and herbs. These remedies are avail
able at two levels:
Traditional beliefs, norms and practices
based on centuries old experiences of trials
and errors, successes and failures at the
household level. These are passed through
oral tradition and may be called, "people's
health culture", home remedies or folk reme
dies. These have a vital place in primary
health care in developing countries.

Consumers believe that sharing of information
on consumer protection measures between
developed and developing countries would be
advantageous to both due to the following rea
sons:
<9 Developed countries have effective and effi
cient regulatory control over modern phar
maceuticals. These may serve as useful mod
els to enact appropriate legislation to
regulate herbal remedies;
Developing countries have had several cen
turies of experience with the use of tradition
al medicine in health care. Developed coun
tries may find this experience useful;
Neither developed nor developing countries
have an effective regulatory mechanism to
ensure the safety, efficacy and quality of
herbal remedies;

Almost all herbal remedies marketed in
developed and developing countries are
OTC products, although some of these are...
known to be toxic;
In both developed and developing countries
a herbal medicine, if marketed as food, is not
regulated; but if the same product is market
ed as a traditional medicine, it is regulated;
In all developed and most developing coun
tries, there are no systems, self-regulatory' or
otherwise, for the training, certification and
registration of traditional healers or herbal
ists. Consumers have no guarantee that the
traditional healers or the herbalists whom
they visit to obtain health care have the nec
essary qualifications.

There is need to develop guidelines for national
policies on herbal remedies which can serve as a
model to enable countries to develop their own
national policies on traditional medicine.

Regulation, patterns of
utilisation and consumers'
perceptions of herbal
remedies and
traditional medicines yv
in selected countries 'Ik
In the developed countries, consumers are mak
ing a deliberate choice in opting for herbal
remedies. Their popularity is widespread in
-x North America, Western Europe, Japan and
VAustralia. In the developing countries, on the
other hand, a vast majority of the people use tra
ditional medicines because modern health care
sendees are not accessible, available or afford
able to them. (1,2,3,4,5)

International market prices of top-selling
herbs have been published. Some of the more
popular herbs such as Echinacea and Gold
enseal sell for quite a high wholesale price of
about $30-$50 per pound for their roots. The
most expensive herb in the world is wild Chi
nese Ginseng. It sells for $1000 a gram and is
traded in the market place. (6a) There is very lit
tle published data on retail prices of herbal
remedies and how much consumers pay out of
pocket for them particularly in developing
countries.

Four cases of acute hepatitis attributable to sin
gle plants or mixtures were reported in British
patients taking Vallerian and Scutellaria.(44)
Valerian is one of the top selling herbs in the
US.(45)
In Belgium 70 cases of renal impairment attrib
utable to preparations based on Chinese plants
were recently reported.(46)
A neonatal death where mother had been drink
ing herbal tea was reported in 1988.(47)
One research field that has been neglected and
poorly studied is the potential interaction
between herbal remedies and modern pharma
ceuticals.(48) This is another consumer concern
since many people both in developed and
developing countries take herbal remedies and
modern drugs together and do not reveal this to
their physicians or pharmacists.

Developing Countries
Traditional systems of health care and herbal
remedies were freely available in developing
countries for several centuries. WHO came into
existence in 1948. But only in 1976 WHO decid
ed that traditional healers and midwives, previ
ously seen as an obstacle to progress, must play
their part.(49) The Traditional Medicines Pro
gramme under a Director was set up in 1978.

There is a long list of medicinal plants that are
toxic to the liver (38-41). Germander has been
used with apparent safety for centuries. It was
in the early 1990s, that Germander was first
identified as a hepatotoxic drug.(42) In May
1992, all preparations containing Germander
were withdrawn from the market and banned in
France. This lead was not followed in Canada,
where the first two cases of hepatitis were
reported recently.(43)

Regulatory systems for the control of tradition

countries. Malaysia, for example, introduced
the Drugs & Cosmetic Control Act (1984) to reg
ulate and control traditional medicine.(59) Only
those preparations that are processed and pre
sented in modem dosage forms such as tablets,
capsules and oral liquids will be subjected to
evaluation, approval and registration. Raw
materials such as seeds, or any parts of plants
will not be registered. (60) These will include
herbs sold as food or drinks such as herbal teas
which are not regulated. For example, the

The Ministry of Health promotes the use of 66
traditional medicinal plants in primary health
care (PHC). This is based on the scientific evi
dence of efficacy of these plants as well as on
traditional patterns of utilisation. The Ministry
of Health also promotes the use of traditional
medicine in state-run hospitals and health ser
vice centres.
However, herbs are available in the market
in various forms of commercial products,
including cosmetic lotions, creams and soaps as
well as a vast pharmacopoeia of herbal prepara
tions in modern dosage forms. Food and dietary
supplements with medicinal properties are also
available. About 100,000 traditional healers
were involved in the preparation of herbal med
icines in 1987(69).

Republic of Korea
The Republic of Korea is unique in that tradi
tional medicine is favoured equally by all levels
of society. Health insurance coverage is avail
able for traditional medicine and traditional
medical practitioners typically earn more than
modern medical practitioners due to the popu
larity of the traditional approach to health care.
However, only 15 to 20 per cent of the national
health budget is allocated for traditional med
ical service.(70)
The traditional medicine market is estimated
at about $2 billion a year or per capita con
sumption of $46 per year.

It would appear that the Republic of Korea is
perhaps the only country where pharmacists
have to be licensed in traditional medicine
before they can stock and sell traditional medicine.

efficacy of herbal remedies is due to the syner
gistic activity among the several ingredients of
herbal mixtures. Complex mixtures of plants or
herbs form the basis of traditional medicines.
The mixtures are usually subject to crushing,
heating, boiling, etc. It is possible that this
process may change the chemical structure of
the active ingredient in the plants.

Traditional medicine in India is regulated by the

This is a very well regarded course on the sub
ject. The target audience for the course include
physicians, pharmacists, senior health system
managers, and technical assistance professionv-xflls from ministries of health, non-governmental
organizations, and donor agencies. And the
objectives of the course are as follows:
• Expose participants to modern management
principles of drug supply systems and to
teach how to apply them in their own specif
ic situation.
• Provide practical tools to decision makers in
essential drugs programs to improve their
level of performance.
• Exchange views and experiences between
senior decision-makers.

Latest ora Chlormezanone
Beserol and five other Chlormezanone contain
ing brands can still be purchased from almost
any medical store in the country. The irony is
that we will never be able to know how many
people suffered the lethal side effects of the
drug as we do not have any pharmacovigilance
system in the country.

This is a clear case of corporate irresponsibil
ity and double standards but also it highlights
the stark negligence and apathy of the Ministry
of Health, which has done nothing in practical
terms to safeguard the people. The drug is
banned in Western European countries and in
the United States for its toxicity. Not only
banned, it was lifted from the market to protect
potential users.

They also wrote a "Dear Doctor" letter on the
same line. Reportedly, on 3 April 1997 Searle
also informed MoH that "instructions have been
given to the Field Force to withdraw any left
over stocks of Beserol tablets from the market."
In almost one year the field force cannot with
draw it from the market. How efficient!

Likewise, MoH says that it has banned the
drug though it made no effort in this matter of
public safety to inform the prescribers and the
public about the problem. On paper both the
manufacturer and the regulators are well pro
tected, but the fact remains that people are still
exposed to the lethal potentials of the drug

HERBAL AND HOME REMEDIES - AN ANSWER TO "HEALTH FOR ALL"

INTRODUCTION
The history of medicine is as old as the history of man. Attempts
at tackling illness and maintaining health have originated at
each hearth and home, becoming an inextricable part of local
culture and. way of life.

The earliest trials have been instinctive and resolved around
easily available HOME and HERBAL REMEDIES,
The Essential differences in practices between people to people
depends on their tradition and culture. What is remarkable in
these traditions is that certain practices are common to most
people, using the same or similar herbs for specific illnessese
"FOR FAR TOO LONG, TRADITIONAL SYSTEMS OF MEDICINE AND
'MODERN' MEDICINE HAVE GONE THEIR SEPERATE WAYS IN
MUTUAL ANTIPATHY. YET ARE NOT THEIR GOALS IDENTICAL
................ TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF MANKIND AND THEREBY
THE QUALITY OF LIFE? ONLY THE BLINKERED MIND WOULD
ASSUME THAT EACH HAS NOTHING TO LEARN FROM THE OTHER".
- H. MAHLER, Formerly Director General W.H.O.

The World Health Organisation defines Traditional Medicine as
"the sum total of all the knowledge and practices, whether
explicable or not, used in diagnosis, prevention and elimination
of physical, mental or social imbalance and relying exclusively
on practical experience and observation, handed down from
generation to generation, whether verbally or in writing".
HERBAL MEDICINE (PHYTOTHERAPY) AND HOME REMEDIES is one such

tradition in India.
The Government of India officially recognises formalised
systems of medicine like Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Yoga,
Naturopathy and Homeopathy. The non-formalized systems like
tribal medicine, herbal and home remedies which have provided

.2.

the basis, sustenance and rejuvenati6n avenues to these
systems remain unrecognised because of their inherent amorphous
nature.
Several of the important and useful medicines we use today
come from plants. Many of these have now been synthesized,
yet it is in many instances easier, cheaper and with less
side-effects to obtain medicines directly from plants.

THE NEED FOR HERBAL / HOME REMEDIES

The W.H.O. has resolved to provide Health for All by 2000 A.D.,
and ^ndia as a member is committed to this objective. The nee^
to use all resources to achieve this is well appreciated.

"THE COUNTRY HAS A LARGE STOCK OF HEALTH MANPOWER....
IN VARIOUS SYSTEMS. THIS RESOURCE HAS NOT SO FAR
BEEN ADEQUATELY UTILIZED".
- National Health PSlicy - 1989,
Govt, of India

According to "World Drug Situation", less than 30% of the
Indian population has access to Allopathic drugs. "Inspite
of a network of Primary Health Centres and sub-centres,
villagers have to depend upon their traditional healers and
healing methods because of their availability, accessibility,
dependability and utility". These healers and their methods
are based on herbs.' Thus a significant number of people
depend on herbal and home remedies as their only health re
source, or as a substitute for or complement to modern medicine.
They use it because they regard this as "taeir" system, in
which they will always have faith and belief.

"Herbal remedies will be with us for a long time. It is
therefore important to bring the use of these remedies into

an existing framework of rational, scientific use of medicines".

HOLISTIC APPROACH

It is being increasingly understood that illness is not only
a breakdown in biochemical, physical and mental factors. It
is a disharmony in social, psychological and spiritual areas
too. The traditional practitioner often depends on his ability
to mobilize patient's hopes, restore morale and gain re
acceptance in Society in addition to the herbs used. This
concern with the totality of human functions in Society raises
traditional practices to HOLISM.
ACCESS

Access of medicine to those who are ill, the most needy obviously the poor - is becoming increasingly difficult as
a result of several factors, the economic policies of the
countiy and privatization/commercialization of health care
being the more important ones. In this context it is
imperative that we promote remedies easily available and
accessible to the poor. No doubt herbal medicine is the
answer.

RECOGNIZING TRADITIONAL WISDOM
Modern Medical Science holds that beliefs and practices
that cannot be 'experimentally' proved is not worthwhile.
However it is to be remembered that human being is a mystery
and all that influences him cannot be evaluated through
laboratory analysis. Lt is necessary for us to recognise
that there are other systems of thought which are valid ' .
and authentic. We hav; yet to explore this vast storehouse
of traditional medicine. Luckily, there is a realization
today that there is a need to preserve the enormous trove
of wisdom and traditional knowledge as also the cultures
associated with them. Not only must flora and fauna be
protected, but also the knowledge data base often stored
in the memories of elders and traditional healers.

"YOU MUST NOT BE ASHAMED TO ASK COMMON PEOPLE IF
SOMETHING SEEMS USEFUL TO YOU AS A REMEDY BECAUSE
I THINK THAT THE ART OF MEDICINE AS A WHOLE WAS
DISCOVERED THAT WAY"
- Hippocrates - father of modern medicine

"AS PART OF ITS EFFORTS IN PROMOTING COMMUNITY HEALTH,
C.
H.A.I.
RECOGNISES THE CRUCIAL ROLE HERBAL MEDICINE
AND HOME REMEDIES PLAY IN THE LIFE AND HEALTH OF THE
POOR.

People in rural areas are able to find their own remedies in
nature for most of the common ailments. Jaundice is just one f
example where modern medicine fails to provide effective remedy
whereas simple herbs like the tender leaves of Ricinus communis
(castor oil plants), Phillantus niruri (Bhulavali or Kizhukanelli), Lausonia alba (mehandi) and a host of other herbs are
real life saving drugs. In some rural dispensaries uterine
problems and laucorrhoea are effectively being treated with
an'aristam' prepared of Hibiscus flowers (shoe flowers).

At least 90/*> of our ailments can easily be treated with low
cost or no cost herbal and home remedies.

CHAI is making a concerted effort to promote these simple
remedies which will go a long way in empowering people to
manage health problems by themselves and thus liberate them
from the commercialised and exploitive health care system.
We are sure ;;hat you also recognise this need and will be
helping this endeavour at whatever level and whichever
capacity you are operating in. Come, Let us join hands
and work together to make health a reality for all .'

The medicinal and
aromatic magic of mint
INTS (Men
tha) are aro
matic plants
belonging to the Labifamily.
Originally from Europe,
they are now grown
almost all over the
world.
There are about 25
species of the plant
(which are mostly from
Eurasia) and umpteen
number of hybrid vari
eties which have dis
tinctly
different
flavours. They are com
mercially exploited
throughout the world
for their medicinal and
aromatic properties.
Mint has been cultivated
since ancient times and has
also been found in Egyptian
tombs dating as far back as
1,000 B.C.
According to Greek
mythology, 'Mintha' was a
beautiful nymph and one of
the Gods, Pluto fell in love
with her. But because of his
jealous wife, Pluto was forced
to transform her into this
beautiful, fragrant herb.
It was the Romans who
introduced this plant into
Europe and Britain. From
here it found its way to vari
ous other parts of the world
right from the Americas to
the Far East.
The Japanese have been
growing it for at least 2,000
years now, to extract men
thol.
They have been the chief
exploiters of this herb.
Some of the popular vari
eties of mint are Mentha spicata (spear mint), Mentha
arvensis (Japanese pepper
mint), Mentha piperita (pep
permint), Menthasuaveolens
(applemint), Mentha rotundifolia (Pineapple mint),

Care to be taken:

M

❖ The soil should
always be kept moist.
But at the same time
water should not be
allowed to get logged.
❖ It is advisable to
grow the plants in
partial shade as it
gives a better taste to
the leaves.

Harvesting:
Pick mint leaves
when the plant has
spread quite well.
It can be used
fresh or can be stored
after drying.

Medicinal use:
mentha gentilig (ginger
mint), etc.
All the different varieties of
mint are fragrant herbs
which can grow up to three
feet in height. These grow at a
rapid pace and spread like
runners.
Their leaves are oval, often
purple-tinged, slightly ser
rated along the edge, soft but
thick and are sweet-scented.

Howto grow mint:
The roots of the original
mintplantshouldbeseparated into parts and planted in
rich, moist soil. New shoots
emerge within 10 to 20 days.
It can be grown in pots, or
along narrow strips of land
around the house as it is a
wonderful garden cover or on
windowsills.
Mint plants spread easily. It
is advisable to separate the
different varieties of mints by
barriers of sunken slates, if
they are grown on the
ground.
Mint can be planted at any
time of the year, but it
depends on the availability of
planting material.

❖Mint leaves help to ease
indigestion, in relaxing mus
cles of the digestive tract,
increases appetite and is a
sure remedy for irritable
bowel syndromes.
+It is known to decrease
inflammation and helps heal
’ulcers in the digestive organs.
❖Menthol extracted from
mint helps kill bacteria and
parasites in the stomach and
balances the intestinal fluids.
❖ It also eases nervous
headaches,
including
migraines and neuralgia.
+ It is widely used by many
aromatherapists to relieve
sinus and lung congestion.
+To tackle sinus problems,
put a drop of menthol into a
steaming pan of water and
inhale. It relieves your pain in
minutes.
❖It is also used in balms as a
cooling and relaxing agent.
Mint is also found in dental
products and is used more
for its flavour than for its
medicinal values. Some
brands of tobacco are also
metholatedfor purposes of
flavour and scent.

basically, there are two systems of health care in the developing
world, one is traditional and prescient ilk: (he other modern, sci
entific. and Western in derivation. The two exist side by side, yet
remain functionally unrelated in any intentional sense.

Such a dichotomous view of health care systems has a long
history of acceptance by workers in international health and
medical anthropology. Goulds (1957) recognition of a dual

ism of treatment options in India, .dong with Koster's (1958)
observance of a similar pattern in Latin America, gave early

support to the concept that traditional and modern medical
practices constitute separate and alternative systems of

health care. More recently, work by Dunn (1976) has sug
gested that “traditional Asian medicine and cosmopolitan
medicine” are distinct, essentially independent systems of

health care that coexist within, and provide essential ser
vices to, the citizens of modern Asian nations. In light of this

(1982) similarly discusses “Western" and “non-Wcstern”

medical systems and their interaction cross-cullurally.
Yet social scientists who discuss health care decisions as a
choice between Western and non-Wcstern therapies present

a falsely restricted view of the complexity of the environment

It is very important to start with the plants we have in our neighbourhood

and learn their uses.

For this we have to start learning from the ignorant,

village people, grandmothersf dais and people who roam about with magic and

medicine.

These informations arc very useful, but we should not blindly follow

them but also check it with other informations, the knowledge we got from books,
our own experience etc.

Together with herbs there are a lot of other things which arc
traditionally used as medicine,for example - salt, honey etc.
These are what the housewife can find in the kitchen garden males
home remedies which will serve as first aid in every case and
for ordinary ailments it can serve as a perfect nature core. It
should be the aim of the health worker to equip every housewife
with the knowledge sufficient to care for family and the neighbours
without running to the drug store for every little heacache.

The following passage is taken from - FEELING GOOD WITH NATURAL
REMEDIES, by Terry Willard, 15.3c., MH, CI, Wild Rose College of
Natural Healing, Canada.
Herbal Nhilospphy: The energy of herbs.

Ar; important thing to learn about herbs is- they are not lust groups
or chcmcials, but have individual personalities just as people do.
Understanding this personalities probably the most significant thing
a Herbalist can do, and is the key to how the herbs work.
Looking
back into th history of herbcl-.-gy"we sec that the essence of the
herb's personality was of great importance.
Going bad: in history we find medicine using herbs as a means of
treating all sorts of ailments. They had little or no comprehension
of '/hat chemicals were in the various plants or how the body
functions. These medicine people understood the essence or
personality of the herbs to aid them in healing. We don’t have
to look very far for reference to this. Just a short period of
1OO - 150 years ago the Indians of North America used this as the
major method of healing. They believe-'1 that the spirit of the
herb fought a battle with the sickness and if it was stronger it
would win and the patient would make a successful recovery.

This essence (pers- nality) of the plant is the non-physical
attribute and is just as important as the chemical make-up. Most
people today consider this idle superstit£cn but lookinc at it
a bit more seriously we might find a grain of truth in it. After
all I think that most of us would agree that humans are not just
physical bodies. We have emotions, abstract mental concepts
spiritual feelings, as well ; s the physicial needs, desires,
functions and ma1-functions of the body.
If we have a variety of
aspects making up our personalities, why then should we believe that
herbs are strictly physical without some form of unseen energy?
This energy called 'Vital Energy1 (by modern herbalists) is just
as important to them as is the chemical make-up of the herb. What
is this 'Vital Energy'?

VITAL ENERGY.
Medicine can take many approaches. The western medical philospphy
has generally taken a scientific view towards health. For the
most part doctors take an almost mechanical approach.
If we have
a broken arm they easily fix it.
If there is a rjissing chemical
in a biochemical pathway, they can replace it or make a suitable
piece to fj.x to it.
If there is a force acting against your body
such as a virus er :.-.n unhealthy bacteria, doctors can usually
create a stronger force in the opposite direction against this
intruding force. Cne must admit that cur medical professionals are
gcoc-mcchanics and we must not underestimate the use, of this
mechanical knowledge. Modern medicine has cured many people of many
diseases. Unfortunately these methods can have a shot gun effect

and oriental medicine, they all have a com on underlyong philosophy
considering the energy that flows through the body. This energy is
called in many different things such as - life force, chi, prans, or
(as the herbalists call it) vital energy.
It is the purpose of
non-allopathic medicine to kn?p this energy flowing correctly
through the body as if the flow is improner, to return it to its
natural path. The herbalists feel that disease is caused by stagnant
or incorrectly dircc ted energy due to some energy blockage. The
herbalists role is not so much to attack a disease, but to maintain
the natural flow of vital energy. The energy itself will to,d the

body of disease? to handle a certain amount of waste, i‘o f igh
disease in our bodies, we can dump in all kinds of c .e-~icals, to
rake the environment unlivable for the intruder. We can, as an
alternative, inplug the system and get the energy flowing again.
As in the case of rivers, if these energy pathways are not
obstructed and no wastes are put into them, the job of cleaning is
not as taxing and the energy can then be used to support life.

Thus our job is not to try to -.ill diseases in our bodies. Our
job is to keep the diseases in our bodies) Our job is to ’-cep the
body free of energy obstruction so the natural vital energy flows
through out the body, selecting", disintegrating, obsorbing,
assimilating, and converting food stuffs.
In other words, we don't
try to ta e on the role of trying to cure diseases, we merely
assist the vital energy to flow in an unobstructed way.
Herbs in this sense, arc not really considered medicines. They arc
Just specialised foeds which helm vita', energy flow being somewhat
selective in where their energy is directed. Ti
•»na?ity of
t'
herb will be attraste" to certain an areas o the bodv similar
to di_ .■’..■.'rent types of people associating in 1 lilre-minded1 green-..
I-': r example, Juniper berries have a Spersonality1 that strongly
influences the kidneys. This vital energy is just one part of a
modern herbalist's understanding of how herbs work. To understand

the chemical interactions the herbs have on the human physiological
mechanism is just as significant. Most herbalists feel that one
is fairly ineffective without the other. The 'vital' energy of
herb is what makes it work. For something to work in a live
biological system it has to have life energy. Herbs, with their
own life essence, work in harmony with tie biological systems to
enact healing.
A pharmaceutical will copy the chemical make up of a herb, but it
can only work by overpowering the syste-, 'stealing' some of the
body's life energy (as it has none of its own). Pharmaceuticals
are usually used when the body needs this life energy the most.
In a medical crisis, for example, the pharmaceutical power and fast
action of the chemicals are necessary. Of course, there may arise
some side effects that have to be dealt with, but usually they can
be uest balanced out by herbal treatment later.

For the everyday non-crisis health problems, herbals have along
proven history of cure. After all ■ost of the herbals we are
dealin^. with have been tested on millions of people over thousands
of years, Their methods of use have been very thoroughly studied.

MODERN IIEHBAL PHILOSOPHY-VITAL LIIE.HuY

Vital energy is the flow of energy through one's body. This can
be likened to a river that gets unnaturally clogged or dar-ed,
stopping the nor-u-.l flow of t ,e energy. The river forms p stagnant
pool which as I'n sure you've all seen, breeds abundant algae and
insects in a swar.py condition.
There are two very different ways to get rid of such things as
nosquito larvae, abundant algae and other undesirables:
1. The way I was told in high school to get rid of msquito larvae
was to pour oil on the water so they couldn't breathe. You can
also dump poisons into the water to make the envinonr-ent
unberablo for these organisms. Of course this also destroys
most other life-supporting functions in the pond .
2.

The other way is to work on dislodging the obstruction iem-ing
the river. This lots the river flow and clean itself naturally.

Our bodies are quire si--ila.r to this river . Disease is the blocking
of the natural vital energy that flows through our bod/. Let us say
that atleast sore of these energy streams are the acupuncture
linos in the body. When the energy is flowing properly along those
path ways, it naturally keeps the body clean, just as the river
does. Like a river, the bodily enor'gy flow.

MEDICINE. AND. EGuD

rlypocratcs said "let your food be your medicine and your medicine
be your food". Most medicines are administered orally. Herbs
induce a natural hea.lin;.. by correcting the inbalance effected in
the human body by sore reason or other. Evon in healing e wound
this is tree. Admitting the power of the medicine we take wo have
to adr’it also the power of whatever else is consumed. There is a
lack of loj'ic in the advise of
physician who tolls you -"Ho

To-ether with treatrent goes a correct food habit. If wc know
that the present foid habit of a patient is not correct, atleast
wc would correct if for the tire being. This we call diet. This

Herbal Medicine, Prepay ation end a-d;’inistrntion

The herbalists folio1..' as v rule this simple principle. "Ono
disease one Medicine". Hut there are also ferrules where several
medicines are nixed together. Medicines are in a formal work
like a group of people. If they have tear spirit they r.ix well
and make a wonderful perform/nee. Rut if they are inactive or if
they clash, the 'erk is rendered difficult. The principle of
single herbal medicine works well by helpino the body to
revitalize its functions in a uniform direction. A formula of
different redicinos can help better by accelerating this process
or can work in different directions and noli' different functions
simultaneously. But for this we have to rely upon proven
formulas. Otherwise we may not £et the desired effect, or can
run the risk of a alas... of effects.

In administering the medicine severe! methods afe used. The
ayurvedic terminology of practises rad a short description is
.■gi/en below.

a. For oral adi iinis tr.a.ti on
1. Swarasa (juice)- The whole apart plant or part is smashed
thoroughly and the juice is extracted by squeezing it out. This
is one of the most suitable because post of the contents are
present in the original forn. But it nay not be possible always due
to the nature of the staff and unpalatable taste etc.
2. Qua th a( boiled) The medicine is just boiled in water. The
volatile oils and vapourous materials are obtained to sone extent.
Quick dissolving and aromatic medicines are less used in this
form.
3. Kashaya (decoction)Not only boiled but thoroughly cooked and
the extract reduced and made into concentrate.(usually reduced to
1/3) while a good amount of the substance, is obtained a. considerably
part is lost in the process.
4. .‘./hole p.lant p_as_te_. well smashed and ground taken cither as portion
or swallowed as balls.
5. £hooniam_(powder) The medicine is dried and ground into powder
and taken in with or without a medium

... yulika. (pills) The medicines are well ground and rolled into
pills and preserved. Usually administered in a ’■iedium
7. Jjehian (semi-solid) Decoctions arc .preserved together with
other ingredients in a base of jaggery and honey
8. .Arishtam - Decoctions fermented and preserved in a liquid form
in a ixqiiidxfiEaox jaggery base.

Gritham- Decoctions together with other ingredients preserved
in a ghee base

b. External Application :
1. Lcpam; (poultice) The medicine is ground and used as
poultice paste etc.for external application in a medium
2. Thailum : Mbdicinal extracts and pastes prepared in oil and
used for application on hand, body, wounds etc.
3. j(i.zhi(fomented balls) Medicinal leaves etc. are made in to balls

There are also other forms but are too complicated and need

HERBS AND THE1R USES - by Sr. Innocenti' MSMI
(Translated from original text by DR. MARIES JOSE)
INTRODUCTION
,
From the origin of mankind, man and medicines had a close association. There

is hardly anyone not having some knowledge about medicines.

The only aim in

life of the ancient men was his survival, for which he had to procure his daily

food and shelter.

He depended on nature's plants,and trees for their fruits,

leaves, stem and roots and also the fish and flesh of animals.

Their intimacy with

the nature was such that it was the nature's caves and trees which helped them

tide over the adverse climates.

In his frantic efforts to obtain his daily food, he got injured and wounded often

by wild animals, poisonous stings and thorn

during such times of dangers he prayed ferve ntly to the creator of the naturer

He also used the 5 elements (Panchabootas)

of nature for

He gradually came to learn and use various

remedies from the.nature for the various ailments.
He had nothing but nature to depend for the medicines as he had to for his food
and shelter.

He strongly believed that all the things in nature were created by

GOD for his good.

The knowledge that everything in nature is the permutation -

combination of the 5 elements and that these elements has got the medicinal

properties was the starting of a new era.

The human body itself is made up of

these 5 basic elements (Panchaboutic constitution),

^ence they believed that

such a body when diseased, should be treated by these 5 elements only.

Jesus Christ has restored sight to a blind man who approached him.

Jesus asked

the blind man to take his bath in tho Siloha Lake and then to smear.wot mud on
his blind eyes whereupon he got his sight back.

Thus Jesus Christ himself

showed the world that human ailments can be cured with the belief in GOD and by
using materials for the nature which he himself has created.
Though everything in nature had some medicinal propertios,later genorations
depended mainly on plants.

They .gave importance to Monotherapy (using only

one herb 6or a particular disease).

There is no chemical reaction involved in this.

According to Ayurveda, this is

actually a form of treatment.
The ancient medical scltcnco was developed by the sanyasies.

They could cure

all ailments by meditation and by their divine powers in addition to using
nature's products wherever needed.

This system, is

approach the doctor.

During these periods it was thu patient's relatives who nursed the patients at
home.

They collected the herbs from their own compounds or from the surroundings.

Concoctions or pills out of them wore made by the relatives themselves in their
own kitchoru.

Today those herbs reach the various factories abroad, gut into

their sophisticated machines and later through thu drug distributors, doctors
and finally through nurse’s reach the patient.

It is the duty

Out of the 10

points programme for this implementation, only 1.5 is related to doctors i.e.,

curing diseases.

0.5 out of the 10 is taking the various preventive measures.

the remaining has to be done by the people themselves.

This also includes

be materialised only if we can achieve, all these together.

It is the duty of all

those who work for public welfare to co-opcrate with the government and work with

responsibility so that they can got for the public what they are entitled to get.

In short, health promotion should be incorporated into any measures taken for the

development of tho overall standard of living of the public.

Isn't it clear now that wo have to look through a new angle at our health programmes?
Wo cannot aim at improving the health of an ordinary man just by increasing the

numbers of doctors, nurses and huge.hospital buildings.

Instead of this we have

to concentrate on the disease preventive measures and health education for the
public.

Only if we incorporate health with other economic and socio-cultural

programmes, that tho dream of 'Health for all' will come true.

HERBAL PHILOSOPHY: The Energy of Herbs
An important thing to learn about herbs is: they are not just groups of chemicals, but have individual
personalities just as people do. Understanding this personality is probably the most significant thing
a I lerbalist can do, and is the key to how the herbs work. Looking back into the history of herbology
we see that the essence of the herbs' personality was of great importance.

Going back in history we find medicine women using herbs as a means of treating all sorts of ailments.
They had little or no comprehension of what chemicals were in the various plants or of how the body
functions. These medicine people understood the essence or personality of the herbs, and they called
on the spirit of the herbs to aid them in healing. We don't have to look very far for reference to this;
just a short lilt) - 150 years ago the Indians of North America used this as the major method of healing.
They believed that the spirit of the herb fought a battle with the sickness and if it was stronger it would
win and the patient would make a successful recovery.
This essence (personality) of the plant is the non-physical attribute and is just as importanl as the chemical
make-up.
Most people today consider this idle superstition, but looking al it a bit more seriously we might find
a grain of truth in it. Aller all, I think that most of us would agree that humans are not just physical
bodies. We have emolions, abstract mental concepts, spiritual feelings, as well as the physical needs.
desires, functions and malfunctions of the body. If we have a variety of aspects making up our per
sonalities, why then should we believe that herbs are strictly physical without some form of unseen energy?
This energy, called "Vital Energy” (by modern herbalists), is just as importanl to them as is the chemical
makeup of the herb. What is this “Vital Energy '?

Medicine can lake many approaches. The western medical philosophy has generally taken a scientific
view towards health. Eor the most part doctors lake an almost mechanical approach. If you have a
broken arm, they can easily fix it. If there is a missing chemical in a biochemical pathway, they can
replace it or make a suitable piece to fit in. If there is a force acting against your body, such as a virus
or an unhealthy bacteria, doctors can usually create a stronger force in the opposite direction against
this intruding force. One must admit that our medical professionals are good mechanics, and we must
not underestimate the use of this mechanical knowledge. Modern medicine has cured many people
of many diseases. Unfortunately, these methods can have a shotgun effect and may destroy many useful
bacteria and are sometimes, over a long period, more harmful than beneficial.

On the other hand, if we look al European herbology. American Indian medicine, E.asl Indian medicine
and Oriental medicine, they all have a common underlying philosophy: consider the energy that flows
through the body.
This energy is called many different things such as the lite force, chi. prana, or (as the herbalists call
it) vital energy. It is the purpose of non-allopathic medicine to keep this energy flowing correctly through
the body or. if the How is improper, to return it to its natural path. The Herbalist feels that disease
is caused by stagnant or incorrectly directed energy due to some energv blockage. The herbalists role
is not so much Io attack a disease, but to maintain the natural How of vital energy The energy itself

VITAL ENERGY

Feeling Good With Natural Remedies

Modern Herbal Philosophy; Vital Energy
Vital Energy is the flow of energy through one's body. This can be likened to a river that gets unnatural
ly clogged or dammed, stopping the normal flow of its energy. The river forms a stagnant pool which,
as I'm sure you've all seen, breeds abundant algae and insects in a swampy condition.
There are two very different ways to get rid of such things as mosquito larvae, abundant algae and
other undesirables:
1. The way 1 was told in high school to get rid of mosquito larvae was to pour oil on the water so
they couldn't breathe. You can also dump poisons into the water to make the environment unbearable
for these organisms. Of course this also destroys most other life-supporting functions in the pond.
2. The other way is to work on dislodging the obstruction damming the river. This lets the river flow
and clean itself naturally.

Our bodies are quite similar to this river. Disease is the blocking of the natural vital energy that flows
through our body. Let us say that at least some of these energy streams are the acupuncture lines in
the body. When the energy is flowing properly along these pathways, it naturally keeps the body clean,
just as the river does. Like a river, the bodily energy flow can handle a certain amount of waste. A

To fight disease in our bodies, we can dump in all kinds of chemicals to make the environment unliveable
for the intruder. We can, as an alternative, unplug the system and get the energy flowing again. As
in the case of rivers, if these energy pathways are not obstructed and no wastes are put into them,
the job of cleaning is not as taxing and the energy can then be used to support life.

Thus, our job is not to try to kill disease in our bixlies. Our job is to keep the body free of energy obstruction
so the natural vital energy Hows throughout the body selecting, disintegrating, absorbing, assimilating
and converting foodstuffs. In other words, we don’t try to lake on the role of trying to cure diseases;
we merely assist the vital energy in our bodies to flow in an unobstructed way.

Herbs, in this sense, are not really considered medicines. They are just specialized foods which help
vital energy flow, being somewhat selective in where their energy is directed. The 'personality' of the
herb will be attracted to certain areas of the body similar to different types of people associating in
like-minded'groups. For example, Juniper Berries have a 'personality" that strongly influences the kidneys.
This Vital Energy” is just one part of a modern herbalist's understanding of how herbs work. To understand
the chemical interactions the herbs have on the human physiological mechanism is just as significant^
Most herbalists feel that one is fairly ineffective without the other. The "Vital Energy" of the herb
what makes it work. For something to work in a live biological system it has to have life energy. Herbs,
with their own life essence, work in harmony with the biological system to enact healing.

A pharmaceutical will copy the chemical makeup of a herb, but it can only work by overpowering
the system, 'stealing' some of the body's life energy (as it has none of its own). Pharmaceuticals are usually
used when the body needs this life energy the most. In a medical crisis, for example, the pharmaceutical's
power and fast action of the chemical are necessary. Of course, there may arise some side effects that
have to be dealt with, but usually they can be best balanced out by herbal treatment later.
For the everyday non - crisis health problems, herbals have a long proven history of cure. After all,
most ol the herbals we are dealing with have been tested on millions of people over thousands of years.
Their methods ol use have been very thoroughly studied.

The Ecology of Energy
The ecology of the energy that we use in our body, and for that matter, any biological system, is impor
tant to understand. We don't really eat because it tastes good or because it looks nice! The main reason
for eating is to take energy into our body. All the food we eat is really little packets of energy that we
use to animate ourselves, think or even read this page. We are a big nutritional factory that processes
foodstuffs to give us energy, at least on the biological level. I eat an apple because it looks good, tastes
good but more specifically because I need the energy it gives me. This energy is the Vital or biological
energy that is in the food. Where does this energy come from?
The major energy source of our solar system is the sun, of course, and that is where our energy originates.
Some 93 million miles away, the sun acts as a very efficient nuclear reactor, and produces untold amounts
of energy.The planet Earth is fortunate in that it has developed a system for capturing this solar energy.
In Fig. 1.1 (Page 6) we have a summary of the whole process.

The Sun shines upon our planet where plants have the capability of capturing some of this energy,
thus putting the energy into the biological system (Fig 1.2). Plants are the only biological system that
can capture this solar energy to be used by the rest of the biological systems on this planet. One can
easily see that the plant kingdom has a very important responsibility in being the sole collector of biological
energy for our planet. It is also easy to see that the plant kingdom takes this responsibility very seri
ously, as plants seem completely dedicated to their job and the sun! If I have a potted plant in my win
dow it will bend towards the sun. If I turn the plant around it will switch its direction again orienting
itself toward the sun. Of course it is impossible for us to consider what a plant might feel, but this level
of complete dedication Io the sun that the plants give almost seems like they feel' that the sun is their
God. Could this be why some ancient human cultures conceived of.the Sun as their God?

I-ooking at the situation a bit closer we can see what happens on a molecular level (Fig 1.3). When
the Solar energy hits a chlorophyll molecule in the green parts of the plant the Magnesium (Mg) atoms'
electrons are excited. In our simplified diagram of the Magnesium atom (Fig 1.3 1 4| we see that
the orbital of the electron has expanded. We could make thisanology to a person jumping for joy when
something very exciting is happening. The plant in its complete dedication to the Sun seems to get very
excited (or at least its Mg molecules do!) when the radiation of the Sun shines upon it. This w'hole pro
cess is very simplified but is of the utmost importance, because this excitation of Magnesium represents
the entrance of solar energy into the Earth's biological system. All other organisms live off this energy.
Can we say then that the primary source of biological energy on our planet is the dedication that the
plants have to the Sun? (Some Alchemists believe that this is a good model to look at. If complete dedication
is given to one's God, then all the energy necessary for existence will be given back.)

This'excited'energy is passed onto other molecules, such as ATP and NADPH2, for short - time storage
in the plant cell (Fig 1.4). We can consider them solar batteries, and in my diagram I have signified
them as a "Durasol Solar Battery' (the solar-topped battery). This Solar energy, now converted to Biological
energy is available to do work in the organism or to be stored in the form of nutrients such as a simple
sugar called glucose. The basic energy manufacturing process of nature occurs through a series of chemical
reactions, one of the best being "the Krebs Cycle”. If we now take two units of working energy and
- 7 -

Feeling Good With Natural Remedies

pul it into the Krebs Cycle, with this basic stored energy, we get 38 units of working energy out on
the other side of the reaction! This energy can be used elsewhere to make raw chemicals into various
nutrients for the plant such as Glycosides, Alkaloids, Vitamins and many other nutrients. The key point
here is that it takes the excited energy of the original solar energy, being passed along the system, to
activate these molecules. All of these biologically made nutrients have their molecules made up of excited
electrons, energy from the original solar excitement of the Magnesium molecule. Chemicals are basically
shells that carry energy. We survive on biological energy. I have to eat living organisms with biological
energy to survive. If this were not (rue my lower jaw would be different, being more like a bulldozer
for scooping up dirt, thus getting all of the minerals needed for my body. The plants do this for me;
they pull the minerals out of the ground, filling them with live biological energy so that I can use them.
Since my primary need for eating is to obtain this biological energy, I eat plants or organisms that eat plants.

Fig.

To gain its energy a herbivore eats plants and a carnivore eats herbivores. (Fig 1.6 &. 1.7) To gel our
energy we can eat from any of these groups, as we are of a higher group. (Fig 1.8) It is interesting to
note that any waste materials, either in the form of excrement or parts not completely eaten, at recycled
via the micro-organisms. This compost makes it very much easier on the plants because now they do
not have to convert .ill nutrients into biologically usable lot ins, since some nutrients absorbed from
the soil are already in this form, and only need to gel charged up.
Now what does all of this have to do with feeling good with natural remedies?

It is easy to see that to keep our solar batteries charged we need biological energy. What is most dis-ease,
but a lack of proper biological energy? When 1 am sick 1 need certain types of nutrients to help heal
me. These nutrients are really chemicals that are shells specific to my energy needs. Since 1 am looking
more for the energy contained in the chemical than the shell itself 1 want the chemical with the best
type of energy available, biological energy. I will normally be belter served with chemicals that come
from the biological realm.

/Mong comes Man (Fig 1.9) with his isolated views of the universe and looks at the problem to make
a "better" way. Looking at the way a plant makes a chemical that has traditionally been used for a cer
tain health problem, man realizes he can make it cheaper and faster, therefore making profits for himself
and his company. The big problem is that the scientist didn't realize that there is much more to plants
and man than just chemicals. Man cannot live by chemicals alone. The only way that these chemicals
can work in a biological system is to be activated by biological energy. Synthetic chemicals have to
lake the energy from (he biological system they are in. These synthetic chemicals, which might be useful
in crisis medicine, don't really have a place in our day to day life.

These synthetic chemicals, because of their lack of Biological energy, have to be taken in fairly large
quantities to work. Synthetic chemicals work like a bulldozer pushing chemicals down certain biochemical
pathways. Since there are often side branches to these pathways a person often gets side effects from
them. Herbs, on the other hand, have the Biological energy already in them, so the same quantity of
chemical is not needed to achieve the job. This has a threefold benefit:

1. Because the biological energy in the herb is in "harmony" with the biological needs of the body the
herbal chemical most often goes down the right pathway without side effects.
2. We don't have the possibilities of as many side effects because of the lower quantity of chemical.
3.

Biological energy is given to the body during this process, not taken as in the case of the synthetic
chemical.

These benefits are not without any drawbacks though. Herbal energy takes much longer to form its
benefit, llerbals are just not as fast as synthetic chemicals. This is why a smart Herbalist will often
surrender to a practitioner of synthetic chemicals in a crisis situation and then will try to clean up the
side effects later.
A consumer (Fig 1.10) has to make aware decisions of how to best help themselves and their family
in disease situations; to be able to decide between the synthetic way and the natural way. That is what
this book is about ■ Feeling Good with Natural Remedies.

There is still another major question to answer about herbs and that is: In what form is it liest to take herbs?

METHOD OF HERBAL PREPARATION
The essence of a herb can be best obtained in the usable form of a menstruum. The most common
menstruums are water, alcohol and apper cider vinegar.

Different common methods for tiie preparation of Herbs
Herbs have traditionally been available in four forms: teas (infusions), capsules/tablcts, fluid extracts
and tinctures. Each form has its own advantage. Teas are valuable because the medicinal ingredients
of the herb are in solution (menstruum), thereby allowing efficient absorption of the active ingredient^
Capsules, on the other hand, are very convenient. They can be taken anytime and anywhere, and becaufl
the herb is encapsulated, its often unpalatable taste is shielded. Fluid extractsand tinctures are valuable
because they are the most potent form of the herb. They also store for long periods of time, and because
of their strength, small doses are as effective as larger doses of the same herb in another form.
However, each of these forms has its disadvantages. Medicinal teas are often unpalatable and inconve
nient, requiring special preparation; therefore, people do not take them as often as they should. Capsulated crude herbs, in spite of their remarkable convenience, are hard to digest because the active
ingredients of the herb are entrapped within cellulose cages with no menstruum to release the essence.
Only an optimally functioning digestive system (something we seldom see) can fully release them. Fluid
extracts and tinctures taste, in a word, terrible and are messy. If they are not handled with caution.
stained clothes are often the result. Also, with teas, fluid extracts, and tinctures, part of the herb and
consequently, part of its value is missing. As in the making of a tea, we leave the bag and drink the
tea, tinctures and fluid extracts throw away the bulk herb after extraction.

The Quadgyric Method
The QUADGYRIC METHOD is special. It combines all the advantages of the above four forms and
yet eliminates all of their disadvantages. By PRE-INFUSING the herbs in special solutions (menstruums)
in an advanced manufacturing teclinique, it liberates the active ingredients of the herbs from their cellulose
entrapment. They are then redeposited on their original cellulose base. This is similar to making a tea
but keeping the base that was used in the first place. You get the whole herb and nothing but the herb,
with its essence activated.

4. IT IS PALATABLE.

not as taxing and the energy can then be used to support life.
Thus our job is not to try to kill diseases in our bodies. Our
job is to keep the diseases in our bodies^ Our job is to '’■eep the
body free of energy obstruction so the natural vital energy flows
through out the body, selecting, disintegrating, obsorbing,
assimilating, and converting food stuffs.
In other words, we don't
try to ta e on the role of trying to cure diseases, we merely
assist the vital energy to flow in an unobstructed way.
Herbs in this sense, arc not really considered medicines. They are
Just specialised foods which help vital energy flow being somewhat
selective in where their energy is directed. T!
.■••.••Tonality of
t'.
herb will be attracted to certain an areas o the bodv similar
to di-.'.crent types of people associating in 1 like-minded1 grown- .
E: r example, Jupiter berries have a Bpersonality1 that strongly
influences the kidneys. This vital energy is just one part of a
modern herbalist's understanding of how herbs work. To understand

the chemical interactions the herbs have on the human physiological
mechanism is just as significant. Most herbalists feel that one
is fairly ineffective without the other. The 'vital' energy of
herb is what makes it work. For something to work in a live
biological system it has to have life energy. Herbs, with their
own life essence, work in harmony with the biological systems to
enact healing.

A pharmaceutical will copy the chemical make up of a herb, but it
can only work by overpowering the system, 'stealing' some of the
body's life energy (as it has none of its own). Pharmaceuticals
are usually used when the body needs this life energy the most.
In a medical crisis, for example, the pharmaceutical power and fast
action of the chemicals are necessary. Of course, there nay arise
some side effects that have to be dealt with, but usually they can
be nest balanced out by herbal treatment later.
For the everyday non-crisis health problems, herbals have along
proven history of cure. After all .■ ost of the herbals we are
dealino with have been tested on millions of people over thousands
of years. Their methods of use have been very thoroughly studied.

MODERN HERBAL PHILOSOPJff-VITAL dlBBLY

Vital energy is the flow of energy through one's body. This can
be likened to a river that gets unnaturally clogged or damr'ed,
stopping the nor-wl flow of t .e energy. The river forms ? stagnant
pool which as I'm sure you've all seen, breeds abundant algae and
insects in a swampy condition.
There are two very different ways to get rid of such things as
mosquito larvae, abundant algae and other undesirables:
1. The way I was told in high school to get rid of mosquito larvae
was to pour oil on the water so they couldn't breathe. You can
also dump poisons into the water to rake the environment
unberable for these organisms. Of course this also destroys
most other life-supporting functions in the pond .

2. The other way is to work on dislodging the obstruction damming
the river. This lets the river flow and clean itself naturally.

Our bodies are quire similar to this river. Disease is the blocking
of the natural vital energy that flows through our body . Let us say
that atleast sore of these energy streams are the acupuncture
lines in the body. When the energy.is flawing properly along those
path ways, it naturally keeps the body clean, just as the river
does. Like a river, the bodily energy flow.

MEDICINE AND. £0uD
Hypocrates said "let your food be your medicine and your medicine
be your food". ?fost medicines are administered- orally. Herbs
induce a natural healing by correcting the inba.la.nco effected in
the human body by some reason or other. Evon in heeling a wound
this is tree. Admitting the power of the medicine we take we ha ve
to >dr>it also the power of whatever else is consumed. There is a
lack of lo$hc in the advise of a physician who tells you -"Ho
diet, cat whatever you like". He considers a small tablet ho
prescribes powerful and stomachfull of other things jusj 'neutral'
To-ether with treatment goes a correct food habit. If we know
that the present fo4d habit of a patient is not correct, atleast
we would correct if for the time being. This we call diet. This
moans the supportive fooa is used and those not supportive
avoided.

Herbal Medicine,. Preparation and .administration

The herbalists follow as a rule this simple principle. "One
disease one Medicine". But there are also formulas where several
medicines are mixed together. Medicines are in a formal ’work
like a group of people. If they have team spirit they mix well
and make a wonderful performance. But if they are inactive or if
they clash, the work is rendered difficult. The principle of
single herbal medicine works well by helpin., the body to
revitalize its functions in a uniform direction, A formula, of
different medicines can help better by accelerating this process
or.can work in different directions and help different functions
simultaneously. But for this we have to rely upon proven
formulas. Otherwise we may not .get the desired effect, or can
run the risk of a olasn of effects.

In adninistoring the nedicine severe1 methods ere used. The
ayurvedic terminology of practises rad a. short description is
’given below,
a. For oral ad.ninistratiqn
1. Swarasa (juice)- The whole apart plant or part is s-ashed
thoroughly and the juice is extracted by squeezing it out. This
is one of the post suitable because post of the contents are
present in the original form. But it pay not be possible always due
to the nature of the staff and unpalatable tast~ etc.
2. Quatha( boiled) The nedicine is just boiled in water. The
volatile oils and vapourous naterials arc obtained to sore extent.
Quick dissolving and aromatic nedicines are less used in this
fern.
3. Kashaya (decoction) Not only boiled but thoroughly cooked and
the extract reduced and rade into concentrate.(usually reduced to
1/3) while a good apount of the substance, is obtained a considerable
part is lost in the process.

4. Whole plant pas,te„ well spashed and ground taken either as portion
or swallowed as balls.
5. C.hqqrnap_(powder) The nedicine is dried and ground into powder
and taken in with or without a pediup

.... _dulika_ .(pills) The nedicines are well ground and rolled into
pills and preserved. Usually administered in a medium
7. Lehian (sepi-solid) Decoctions are preserved together with
other ingredients m a base of jaggery and honey
8. Arishtun - Decoctions ferr.ented and preserved in a liquid forp
in a ±±qx±dxfexH jaggery base.

Drithap- Decoctions together with other ingredients preserved
in a ghee base
b. External Application :
1. Lepap: (poultice) The nedicine is ground and used as
poultice paste etc.for external application in a nediun
2. Thailun : Mfedicinal extracts and pastes prepared in oil and
used for application on hand, body, wounds etc.
3. Kizhi(fomented balls) Medicinal leaves etc. are made in to balls
in clean cloth while fopenting it is heated in steep, oil,
pan, etc. and applied.
4. Dhara?(shower)The nedicine is pade in to paste and nixed in a
nedicine and is gently poured on the affected part of the body
for a continuous period of tine.
5. Na.syan: (drops)dripped in to eyes, ears and nostrills.
9.

In the above processes nost of the nedicines can be prepared and
administered.
There are also other ferns but are too conplicated and need
special techniques and experience.

VILLAGE

Miguel was wcrri.'?< this time. His two year old
son, Juanito, had never been thit sick before-1 he
had a cou h that would not quit, he felt hot an.'! had
a dull, faraway look so different from his usual
happy laugh. For a week, his wife, Maria, had tried
ever* t ing in the house she could think of, yet
nothing worked. Her neighbors cautioned against
"hot" foods, but Juanito was not hungry anyway and
hardly ate or drank.

' OWE ft

Maria took the boy across the valley to see Hamon
who kep a small shop- in is farmhouse. '.®cn had been
selected the year bofore by* th? village for training
at the health center. From his training, he know that
prolonged fever and eoug could be pneumonia. His
stock of medicines no longer included packets of
penicillin tablets* there had been a lot of chest colds
around and now only one packet wa< left. He broke it
open and took out three tablets, embarrassed that he
could not gi-.e the packet and explainin’; tha. at last
month*s resupply meeting no stock was availal le. Ramon
was angry too, behind his words of instruction, thinking
of what he’d say to the Health Center Supervisor the
next time. Why bother to go to the meetings at all if
there -.-ere no drugs? He war ashamed to be trying to

satisfy the village’s needs with advice alone — it
wouldnot do, that’s all.

begun work. His own credibility was at stake; their
enthusiasm for continuing education was dissolving into
discontent and declining attendance, fragmenting the
program which had been so enthusiastically received by
the villages the year before. He knew he would have to
get the Regional Health Office to respond soon, or all
momentum would be lost in yet another example of
government failure.

THE REGIONAL OFFICE
Jose was perplexed. As Regional Health Officer, the
hospital was his constant concern (as the central
health facility on which two million people depended),
yet he had the rural health centers, too. Now both
were complaining about drugs. He knew, as did everyone
else, that drugs, theoretically ■ree, were sold by
scene staff members to supplement salaries and income
from unofficial private practice. There was never
enough to go around, and he could no longer reallocate
health center supplies to the hospital - too much demand
in the rural areas now. On top of that he was beginning
to wonder about his administrator, whose latest story
of shipments lost or arriving undercounted only compli
cated the problem. If he only knew what was used last
year in each center, he’d be able to juggle demands a
bit better, at least until the decision on his own
transfer was made, and he was out of the mess.

At the hospital/ the pharmacist reached high on
the shelf for the last tin of penicillin tablets that
was left. The top clattered to the floor as she looked
first at the label, not quite outd ted, and breathed a
sigh of relief - until she looked inside at the
crystallised mass of tablets, decomposed after the top
had been loosened in transit. She had nothing to give
the man v.-ith the prescription and the woman with the
swaddled child gasping in her arms. They turned away.
wondering what to do next.
Carlos, the hospital administrator, took pride in
his efforts to juggle the region’s inadequate health
resources. His years of service balanced a lack of training
and made him a respected official. He could not, however,
figure out how to handle the drug mess, which got worse
every year as demand outstripped supply and more health
facilities were opened. A few facilities had overstocks
while others were always out. It all seemed so unpredictable
Rumors of corruption bothered him most of all, a man <NB*
whose pride in his work at a difficult job had always been
so important. Now, with health workers beginning to provide
some simple health services in almost every village, the
resupply and financial problems ’were overwhelming. Carlos
understood how tempting valuable drugs were to many staff
trying to get by on the small government salary - but for
people to insinuate that he was involved was the most

unpleasant thing he had to live with. Now if only he could

got the r quisitions and the records together* he could
be able to justify his position to Central Nodical Stores
and get them to release the emergency request he had
placed two weeks earlier.

Inadequate management information
for stock control and financial
plan- ing

CENTRAL MEDICAL ETChi.S

As Juanito’s parents managed to get the seemingly
lifeless child admitted to the paediatric ward of the
hospital* Enrique, the Chief of Central Medical Stores*
searched into the evening to find the intravenous
penicillin r quired. His anger at the disorganisation of
the warehouse exhausted him mors than the search.
Enrique was responsible* he knew* but how canid he it
all? The stock reports were disorganized and he never
had found time to train the clerks. The late arrival of
shipments cleared from customs after sitting on the
wharf in the rain had compounded the mess* with crates
and cardboard a soggy stew all over the floor. And the
stock count suggested more losses on the docks or in
transit than just to rats and rain.

At * last he found the penicillin and sent it off
with the pharmacy aide and frightened farmer. He was
too tired to think about the endless emergency requests
from the regions which always seemed to pile in, especially
when vehicles were down* awaiting parts. Even worse*

tomorrow the would have to try to get approval
for an air freight purchase of penicillin tablets
since the lowest bidder had defaulted on the
shipment. It would cost a fortune on such short notice....

On a truck heading back to.ards the village,
Miguel was a mixture of emotions. He was relieved
that the doctors had taken Juanito into the big
hospital and that Maria could stay at his side. But
he was frightened by the plastic tubes he had had to
buy at the pharmacy, which were now connected, to
Juanito’s arm. And he was fearful for the future.
Life would be very hard again, now that he would
have to sell seme of his animals to pay for medicines.
But he thanked Go that Juanito still had a chance.
