औद्योगिकरणाच्या काळात स्वतःच्या फायद्यासाठी मनुष्य निसर्गाची बेछुट छाटणी करताना, नकळत तो स्वतःचाच विनाश ओढवून घेत असल्याचे विसरत आहे. म्हणूनच आजच्या पर्यावरणदिनाचे औचित्य साधून किमान स्वतःचे आरोग्य सांभाळण्यासाठी या औषधी वनस्पती नक्की घरात लावण्याचा प्रयत्न करा.

Several effective herbal medicines are also available for these health problems and considering that these are free of side effects, it makes better sense to stock up on these natural products.

Most of these Ayurvedic medicines have been used since ages and have been proven to be safe and effective. However, some of these may interact with other medication and enhance or reduce their efficacy.
