Abstract
Humans have relied on nature throughout their ages to fulfill their basic needs including medicines to cure a wide spectrum of diseases. Medicinal plants and their components possess a range of beneficial preventive properties. They show many promising effects for various health problems such as colds, coughs, throat irritations, skin problems, stomachache, indigestion, gastrointestinal diseases and also have positive protecting activities such as sedative, antiviral, anti inflammatory, antiseptic, hepatoprotective, antihyperglycemic and immunostimulating. Medicinal plants like aloe, turmeric, tulsi, giloy, pepper, elachi, neem, ginger etc are commonly used in a number of Ayurvedic home remedies and are considered to be the best aid among fighting ailments related to throat and skin. As a rich source of nutrients, anti bacterial and antioxidant properties, ayurvedic herbs are non toxic in nature and so the products or remedies made using them are often recommended for their high therapeutic value. This paper focuses on the traditional uses of some common Indian medicinal plants.
