Book excerpt: We all are well aware of the fact that Medicinal Plants and Herbs have been used by mankind from times immemorial, particularly in the traditional Indian systems of medicine, such as Ayurveda and Homeopathy. Some of them are even toxic, but of immense pharmaceutical value. Basically, plants have the ability to synthesise a wide variety of chemical compounds that are used to perform important biological functions and to defend against attack from predators, like insects, fungi, bacteria and viruses, thus, protecting us from a number of deadly diseases like Cancer, Tuberculosis, AIDS and many incurable Skin and Venereal diseases. The study of plants for medicinal purposes is called as Herbalism or Herbal Medicine and the usage of these medicinal plants for treatment and cure of different types of diseases is known as Herbal Cure. This book contains an exhaustive list of about 130 medicinal plants and herbs which are used totally or in parts, such as their roots, stems, leaves, or barks, crushed or decocted, boiled or mixed with warm water or honey, etc., to treat innumerable commonly occurring diseases like: cough and cold, fevers, pneumonia, skin diseases, indigestion, diarrhoea, asthma, and even snake-bites and scorpion-stings.
