Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 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 ?

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 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 Jane "Todd Caldecott" > i can't say i really get your drift here jane, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 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, Regards, Puneet Aggarwal http://www.herbscancure.com _____________________ >I meant that the Hindu/Ayurvedic name for the plant is not familiar to us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I think this is exactly what I said! However there are also some herbs which google will not recognise.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 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.
