Human beings have to depend on Nature for sustenance and survival. The traditional system of medicine in India dates back to the age of the Rigveda (2500 to 1600 B.C.).Ayurveda is the Indian indigenous system of medicine dating back to the Vedic period. The entire system of ancient Indian medicine is based on the relationship between man and Nature.With the development of science, many new drugs of synthetic origin have come into existence and with the rapid growth of the pharmaceutical industry the value and use of the herbal medicines has come down in the recent past.In the colonial period, Ayurveda sunk in India to the status of the poor man's medicine. Though the knowledge survived it had no prestige. Those who had money preferred western medicine and the immediate cure for isolated symptoms appealed to people. At the present moment Ayurveda is enjoying yet another revival, because of the side effects or long term health hazards of Allopathic medicine.The important herbs must be cultured either in the laboratory or outside in nurseries and gardens. Feverfew was traditionally used to treat fevers. It is now commonly used to prevent migraines and treat arthritis. Some research has shown that certain feverfew preparations can prevent migraines. Side effects include mouth ulcers and digestive irritation. People who suddenly stop taking feverfew for migraines may have their headaches return. Feverfew shouldn't be used with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug medicines because these medicines may change how well feverfew works. It should not be used with warfarin or other anticoagulant medicines.
