The book aptly presents a modern, luced and concise account of advancement in the field Dravyaguna is a branch Shastra. Most of the topic is explained in the form of tables , flow charts and diagrams to give clarity to the subject. Aushadha (a dravya) is one of the three pillar of all the eight branches of Ayurveda. Dravyaguna is a branch which explains the properties and safe usage of treasure of dravya especially of plant origin. But in present scenario many advanced topic such as Nutraceuticals, consmeceuticals , pharmacovigilance, pharmacogenomics, animal experiments etc. are incorporated in the field of Dravyaguna to make it more exientific and advanced .
