property, which destroys disease causing

effect to the body. They are often used as
sedatives.

plants reduces toxins in blood. They are
helpful in destroying infection as well.

increase the activity of a system or an
organ, for example herbs like Cayenne (Lal
Mirch, Myrrh, Camphor and Guggul.

Basil, Cardamom, Chrysanthemum,
Coriander, Fennel, Peppermint and
Spearmint, Cinnamon, Ginger and Turmeric

• Some herbs like aloe, sandalwood, turmeric,
sheetraj hindi and khare khasak are
commonly used as antiseptic and are very
high in their medicinal values.
• Ginger and cloves are used in certain cough
syrups. They are known for their
expectorant property, which promotes the
thinning and ejection of mucus from the
lungs, trachea and bronchi.

Conclusion
 As our lifestyle is now getting techno-savvy, we
are moving away from nature. While we cannot
escape from nature because we are part of
nature.
 As herbs are natural products they are free from
side effects, they are comparatively safe, eco-
friendly and locally available.
