Herbal Drugs for the treatment of Digestive Disorders

Abstract

Traditional folk medicine has a long history and is very deep rooted in India. It was practiced since the pre-vedic periods. The vedic and post-vedic periods has celebrated noted physicians and herbalists like Charaka, Shrushut, Nagarjuna, and Vaghbhata. Indeed, the knowledge of ancient Indian medicine has survived among the primitive societies of India, the aboriginal tribal folk healers. They mostly inhabited in deep forests and remote villages. The tribals and rural people have obtained this knowledge from their fore fathers, which were in closed relation with these peoples. In the present paper some herbal drugs used in the treatment of digestive disorders were mentioned.
