Abstract

Ayurveda is the only science which believes in curing the disease completely from its root. So there are concepts that treat the man as whole and give the drug as a whole. And this makes us to think that as like man, the drug also should be studied from all the aspects right from its origin to processing. Our Aacharyas have given sufficient information regarding production of drug and also about ideal soil for herb.

The geographical variation and climate of the place of origin of the drug may be the major factor in influencing the potency of drug.
