Abstract

The use of plants in therapies both humans and animals is as old as human history. Man must have learnt about the use of herbal medicine by observing self-medication by animals in the nature. Folk medicine is different rather than to modern medicine. Traditional medicine lives among the people as a part of their culture. In traditional societies, any information about a disease is shared by others. This information is passed through the generations. People learn popular medicine in the same way and they learn other cultural components. According to Charakacharya, good old expert physician of Ayurveda ‘Every drug is potential to cure one or the other disorders.’ One such herb is Adhahapushpi (Trichodesma indicum Linn. R. Br.) which is tribally used in different ailments including Carcinoma.
