Ayurved utilises Plants as the main source for treatment. Medicinal plants are biological entities so are our bodies. Therefore plants are more suitable as medicines to mankind. Different parts of the plant have different Medicinal properties. Accordingly for different diseases different parts are used. Modern medicine believes in the segregation of chemical constituents which is then targeted towards a specific symptom. While herbal Medicines are a mixture of number of chemical constituents , some are targeted towards the symptom , some act as a catalyst in the action , some antagonise the adverse effects of the drug. Ayurved thus treats with a whole drug, a multitargeted approach towards body and mind.
