The demand for herbal products is increasing all over the world, because of increasing adverse effects of synthetic products. Increasing population, health awareness and increasing side effects of modern medicine are the other factors which have increased the demand of Ayurvedic medicine all over the world. This has created a great stress over our natural herbal depots. But systemic documentation is lacking for most of the drugs in India.
