All the medicinal Plants incorporated in “Dictionary of Synonyms: Indian Medicinal Plants” have been
studied for their medicinal properties and qualify for further research in modern labs. This work should not
be confused with an exhaustive compilation on agro-forestry nor with a detailed document on botany. The
purpose is to provide leads to scholars who are well-versed in folk and indigenous nomenclature, but are
not able to reach the latest scientific literature, which is being organized by Latin or English names. This
work will also serve as a guide to modern scientists who would like to correlate scientific nomenclature with
the
indigenous one, to understand and make the best use of ground realities for herbal drug development.In the text, Indian common and
folk names have been spelled according to their actual pronunciation.**********This reference work, I think, would be useful to all
scientists in the field of medicinal plants as well as phytomedicine, to those interested in using Ayurvedic herbs with more confidence
in their practice and to physicians and clinicians who are interested in the alternative and adjunctive therapies (excerpt from
Foreword).— Dr. Neeraj Tandon, Head, Medicinal Plant Unit, Indian Council of Medical ResearchMinistry of Health & Family Welfare,
Govt. of India.The Dictionary is the first reader-friendly, one volume source of properly identified botanical and common English
synonyms of Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian, Tamil and folk nomenclature. This will facilitate the globalization process of Indian medicine
and lead us to the vast research material of botanical medicine.— V.K. Agarwal. Ph.D. (Clinical Pharmacology)The Dictionary reveals
the hidden common bonds in Ayurvedic, Unani and Siddha medicines, and removes the stigma of Hindu or Islamic (the epithets were
used by even Col. R.N. Chopra) or a geographically divided medicinal system. It will help us in reorganizing our resources for a better
coordinated effort— V.C. Burman Chairman Emiratus, Dabur IndiaThe Dictionary will erase the dividing lines of various Indian
classical systems and bring therapeutically validated herbs under one umbrella. One Indian herbal medicine will ultimately emerge.
This process has already been initiated by a number of pharmaceutical companies in India, even by those who remained confined to
classical formulations for decades.— Dr. S.K. Mitra, M.D., Former Executive Director, R&D, Himalaya Drug CompanyAsiatic Society's
markings have now become obscure and obsolete. It is a welcome change that Roman transcription of Sanskrit names is based on
the first initiative of Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth (National Academy of Ayurveda). — Dr. V.V. Prasad, M.D (Ayur.), Ph.D., Director,
Rashtriya Ayur VidyapeethFor the first time, we got correct Roman transcription of Unani names. In almost all reference works, Unani
names in English have been misspelt.— Prof. (Hakeem) Anwar Ahmad, Former Head, Unani Medicine, University of DelhiHerbal drug
development critically depends upon the proper botanical identity of Ayurvedic, Unani and Siddha classical herbs. The Dictionary has
utilized all possible resources to achieve this.— Dr. Arun Gupta, M.D.(Pharmacology)The critical appraisal of Indian systems of
medicines is bold, forthright and unbiased to a great extent, at least succeeded in initiating a discussion on many a controversial issue
which needed a hard look. —Dr. Prem Kishore, Former Director, Central Council for Research in Ayurveda & Siddha

Traditional systems of medicine are fast emerging as viable alternatives to modern medical science.
Further, in recent years the emphasis on botanicals as source for drug discovery and development has
been realized globally. Added to this, the safer profile of herbal drugs combined with their low costs make
them ideal targets for newer drugs. As in the modern system of medicine, viz. allopathy, herbal drugs form
an inseparable part of the management of various disorders. The concept of scientific validation of the
basis of traditional uses of herbal medicines has given birth to a new concept of reverse pharmacology,
and interactions between

traditional and modern systems of medicine are being increasingly encouraged. Recent Advances in Herbal Drug Research and
Therapy showcases some of these crucial and emerging issues relating to herbal drugs. This compilation is a judicious combination of
research and conventional aspects on the subject of herbal drugs, their pharmacology and therapeutic applications. Some very
relevant general and systemic pharmacological as well as toxicological aspects have been highlighted by some of the leading experts
in this field. The book will be of interest to students, scientists, teachers and other health professionals in the area of pharmacology,
toxicology and allied health sciences.
