Abstract:
Ayurveda, the ancient Indian science of health mainly based on plant drugs is of late, regaining the confidence of the people in India and abroad. Quite ironically, our vegetal wealth is getting more and more impoverished due to indiscriminate deforestation. This is ominous for Ayurveda and its enthusiasts. The article highlights the portends that this devastation holds for this science. Probably, the only lasting method of ensuring uninterrupted supplies of plant materials for Ayurvedic pharmaceuticals and the needy people in future is the conservation of whatever is left of nature.
