Recommendations

• There is a need of thorough study and comparative analysis of herbs used in Ayurveda and folklore which

will certainly enrich the Ayurvedic system of medicine.

• There is also need to established herbal drug center for collection, processing and preparation of herbal

medicine. There should develop cultivation, farming and documentation of potential medicinal plants for

improving the life and economy of farmers.

• There should be training program for traditional practitioners and local people to provide them additional

skills.
