Health & Personal DevelopmentBoost Your Immune Power with Ayurveda
by Janesh Vaidya
Traditional knowledge for the modern world providing tools to strengthen our immunity by simple adjustments in our daily life.With the current world situation in mind traditional Ayurveda practitioner, author and lecturer Janesh Vaidya has written a book specifically targeting the rapidly heightened interest in strengthening the immune system with natural solutions. According to Ayurveda, one of the most ancient health sciences in the world, our body is composed with five elements, and among them agni (the fire element) is controlling our immune system, protecting our body from the attack of external pathogenic microorganism such as bacteria, virus, fungi and parasites. The immune power varies from person to person, and depends not only on the person’s birth dominating elements, but also the age and season dominating elements. Without understanding these natural influences on our body in different stages of life, if we follow a general lifestyle, our agni, as well as the other elements, gets into a state of imbalance that weakens our immune system.By looking at these natural facts through the window of Ayurveda, and correcting them with personalised food and lifestyle programs, one can balance the elements in the body and maintain maximum health and immunity in all ages and seasons.The format makes the book easy to follow - even beginners are able to get straight into the practice via an easy self-test. BOOST YOUR IMMUNE POWER WITH AYURVEDA contains all you need to know to start using Ayurveda to strengthen your immune system through simple lifestyle adjustments to match your current body and mind type.

Many are wild weeds in one part of the globe but edible and consumed in another part of the globe. A few such plants are used for phytosanitation and phytoremediation but are getting attention as raw materials for biofuel production. Energy and water are two natural resources getting threat due to climate change resulting global warming and ozone depletion."

Agriculture & farmingJune 2020Medicinal and Aromatic Plants
Utilization and Conservation Techniques
by Gopal Shukla ,Bidhan Roy, Vineeta & Sumit Chakravarty
Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are invaluable natural resources of use to human race, without which the survival of human/ animal race is incredible. There is an enormous diversity of plants which are put into medicinal, beauty care and culinary purposes. Cultivation of commercially important medicinal plants is in high demand as the global community is growing towards a green and herbal oriented approach. India as a country has thousands of years old traditional medicinal systems which rely solely on medicinal plants. There is a gradual loss of medicinal plants with the increasing demand of plant derived drugs. Majority of medicinal plants are still collected from the wild. This doesnt meet the demand and thereby pave ways to adulterants. The over extraction and ignorant activities cause biodiversity loss. Farm production of MAPs in these days is extremely vulnerable to underlying climate risk. Sustainable management of these resources requires urgent attention for environmental stability and improvement of livelihood. New income generating opportunities are opening up for rural populations and in particular for small-scale farmers as well as marginal farmers through MAPs cultivation. New generation are not well aware of the various uses of many plants to which it was put before. Thus there is an urgent need to spread the knowledge and conserve the wild populations of medicinal plant diversity in various forest areas of India. Considering the importance of the MAPs, an attempt was taken in this edited book to understand and highlight the role of MAPs in livelihood improvement and income generation through cultivation, conservation and utilisation. Most of the chapters in this book dealt with individual medicinal plants in detail. Two chapters have also been included on pests and diseases management of MAPs. Nowadays, IPR issues are more important. One chapter has been included on IPR issues on medicinal plants. A chapter also devoted on value addition of the medicinal plant products.

Veterinary medicineJanuary 2022Pongamia for Bio-Energy and Better Environment
by M.V.R. Prasad
Pongamia pinnata is also credited with several preventive and curative properties as established by Ayurvedic medicine. It may be recalled that in the decades of nineteen seventies a few villages reaped sustainable incomes in the face of acute and chronic droughts that plagued the nation, solely due to the availability of some old Pongamia / karanj tree stands around those zones. Kranj oil has exhibited promise as a source of green energy. Nevertheless, the research on improvement of Karanj and its management as a productive plantation is nebulous. It is heartening that the Monograph on Karanj by Dr. M.V.R. Prasad fills this void. Dr. Prasad has been pursuing the work on oil bearing perennial trees of which Pongamaia pinnata has been studied in greater detail during the decades starting from nineteen eighties to date. The Monograph describes clearly as to how Pongamia pinnata could be harnessed to exploit the proven and potential benefits cited above, in addition to giving valuable information on its genetic improvement and plantation management.
