TY - JOUR AU - Shubhangi, Pawar AU - Patil, D A PY - 2012/08/06 Y2 - 2025/09/23 TI - Standardization in ayurvedic medicine: still a far cry JF - Journal of Experimental Sciences JA - JES VL - 3 IS - 3 SE - Articles DO - UR - https://www.updatepublishing.com/journal/index.php/jes/article/view/2836 SP - AB - <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Plants are known to the common people by their indigenous system of nomenclature.&nbsp; Sanskrit is one such rich language.&nbsp; Sanskrit plant names convey all-pervasive information about Indian culture. The plant names in Sanskrit is one way of determining plant species and thereby a drug used in Ayurvedic system. About 20 Sanskrit plant names are explained etymologically and their help in identifying the taxon under consideration. These help decipher the taxa/drugs adequately. There are also instances wherein it is helpless as they point out different sources of the Ayurvedic drugs. Standardisation of a drug is a must and one has to go not simply by literature but by plant material in hand.&nbsp; Attempts to identify the Ayurvedic drugs are far from the main goal of standardization which is the crying need of the hour.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> ER -
