As head of the Dabur Research Foundation, I have, for many years, been excited by the remarkable potential of herbs for promoting health and well-being. Certainly, this will come as no surprise to those of you who are familiar With, or have trusted, traditional Ayurvedic remedies for preventing and treating health disorders. What might surprise you, however, is that modern clinical studies and trials have now scientifically endorsed the therapeutic properties of many common and not-so-common herbs, and that such remedies are increasingly becoming popular with Western medical practitioners. One of the reasons for the resurgence of traditional herbal remedies is their proven efficacy combined with safety.

I was, therefore, delighted to learn that a series of simply written booklets is planned to spread awareness about the multiple health benefits of many indigenously available plants. At last, many more people will know why the world has recognised the usefulness of nutraceuticals for treating and preventing a host of common ailments, and chronic disorders -like arthritis, obesity, nutritional deficiencies, stress, memory loss, constipation, and the like.

It is my hope that readers will, henceforth, evaluate the natural options available to them for their own ailments. There is no doubt in my mind that they will greatly benefit from the remarkable properties of herbal remedies.
