As a result of this, minor constituents of physiological importance in a plant remained unidentified. These days, however, a complete analysis, of a plant material can readily be accomplished. Today, a number of plants are used in different Indian system of medicine. The conventional medicine is also using a lot of plant derived chemicals as therapeutic agents but there is a need to further evaluate different uses of these medicinal plants which are concealed in Ayurveda treatise.
