Abstract


The Indian system of medicine classifies panacea (herbal plants) into different classes according to their supposed action on different organs of the body or on particular symptoms of diseases. Charaka had divided medicines into fifty classes and had given the names of some medicinal plants which are useful to prevent the effects of age. Almost all human beings are anxious about their ageing and the problems allied to it and would be glad to retain youthfulness. This article introduces certain herbal plants and their use as a tonic or as a medicine for various diseases. They can be used as a panacea or in combination with other drugs. I.
