Revival of Eastern Medicine and its Benefits
Eastern medicine has been in use since centuries. Different communities in past and present have overwhelming trust and confidence in herbal treatments without their side-effects. A number of universities have already started graduate programs in Eastern Medicine. I believe this book is well structured classically that includes over 50 herbs and medicinal plants. An extraordinary work that provides a complete picture of South Asian collection and is a popular text for students and health professionals. This great contribution is a catalyst for change. We mus believe miracles can happen.
