Dear Jane

I found it usefull to check the names in latin, sanskrit and english

at http://www.himalayahealthcare.com

Also "Indian Herbal remedies" by C.P. Khare is superb to my opinion,

for a closer study of the subject. For each herb he has references

for the use in the times of Charaka and also he mentions how the

herbs was ised in chinese and western herbal traditions as well.

brought a good point about the romantism in Ayurveda. The good

thing is that Ayurveda is a universal system which I believe can be

aplied anywhere and with dozens of medicinal plants growing locally.

However we need to know exactly how the plants are working in terms

of doshas, scrotas etc. In this way ayurveda is ever evolving.

In this regard I like "The yoga of Herbs" by Vasant Lad /Frawley as

they sugghest the doshas for some western herbs. I would like to

study more of such books in english if available ?

Best regards

i can't say i really get your drift here jane, but my point is that

there are lots and lots of high quality, organically grown and

comparatively cheaper locally herbs in the UK

and while the prices for ayurvedic herbs may seem expensive, because

the way our economy is structured the true cost isn't even factored

into the price - for eg. for every kilo of imported product

approximately one kilo in fossil fuels is burnt

this is a sad legacy we are passing on to our children's children's

children, all for something that may just be a matter of aesthetics

besides which, disease is often a reflection of a disordered

relationship between the patient and the local environment

ayurvedic principles weren't formulated to support the global

expansion of the indian herb industry

I meant that the Hindu/Ayurvedic name for the plant is not familiar to us

commonly in the west (tho Oz of course is south) and so we need a

translation to find some of the herbs mentioned - thats all

Dear Jane,

I think you mean the sanskrit/Hindi names are not familiar to you.

Well if you just search them on Google, you will indeed find their

English/latin name in one of the results.

For example if you search for "Ashwagandha Latin" on Google, you will

find that it is called Withania Somnifera.

Same goes for "Amla Latin" which is "Indian Gooseberry" in English

and "Emblica Officinalis" in Latin.

I hope this helps,

I think this is exactly what I said! However there are also some herbs which

google will not recognise.

Dear Jane,

In that case, you can take the help of this list.

Let me know what names are you looking for, and I might be able to

give you their latin/biological names.

Other people on the list may also help.
