military herbs

[Guest guest]

hi all

 

can anyone point to a source where herbs were used during battles, to

attend to the soldier's wounds?

i have come across two references, by the same author:

 

Reddy, D.V.S. (1943) - The art of A'svins - Medical aid on the battle

fields in ancient India, Journal of the Indian Medical Association 12,

12, 350-353.

Reddy, D.V.S. (1966) - Peep into the medical care on the battle fields

in India, Armed Forces Medical Journal (India) 22, 4, 239-250.

 

any other sources would be welcome

 

thanks in advance...
