ABOUT THE BOOK

Ayurveda is recognized as the world’s first and oldest medical system. Flower as popularly used, the term “flower” especially applies when part or all of the reproductive structure is distinctive in colour and form.

A flower, also known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Angiospermae). Flowers consist of a combination of vegetative organs – sepals that enclose and protect the developing flower.

Many medicinal flowers have been described in this book. Different organs of the flowers have been described and their clinical uses have been explained. The medicinal use of Ayurvedic flowers has been enhanced by using their petals, pollens, sepals. Ayurvedic flowers have been described in detail in this book. About 26 plants have been described in detail and their different parts have been described in which diseases they provide relief. The medical benefits have been given special importance in this book.

I hope that this book will be beneficial for Ayurvedic student, researchers and clinicians.
