Vegetable Kingdom
Plant is a part and parcel of vegetable Kingdom which includes trees, shrubs, bushes, vegetables, flowers, fruits, dry fruits, herbs etc. It is the small and tiny plant that ultimately grows into a big tree but certain plants do not have high growth rate. In fact, all the vegetations grow out of plants. There are creepers also which grow with the help of other big plants or trees. Plant kingdom is so vast and varied that, even now, most of the herbs are still unknown to us. What we know uptil now is merely a fraction of the total vegetable kingdom. Plants that grow under the river beds/oceans is still an enigma. It is said plants growing underneath water exceed far more than the plants that grow on earth or it could be the other way round also but existence of unknown varieties growing under the bottom of water cannot be denied.
Wise old phrases like less is more and everything in moderation, apply equally to herbal medicine also. If you use only a part of a plant, where whole plant is to be used, you are not likely to derive any or desired benefit, as you have violated the basic tenet pertaining to use of that plant. The more plant material you use the quicker and better benefits you would reap, because in this way natural balance of the plant is maintained. It is no use nor is it wise to use more pills of a herbal preparation when part of plant has been used. This way you will simply upset the balance of your body and cause more harm to your body.
Plant world is so wide, vast and varied that you must consult some good and qualified herbalist, doctor or plant expert to know effects of a particular plant and the parts thereof to be used to derive maximum benefit. If you go through homeopathic medicines, you will find most of the medicines prepared with extracts (tinctures) of many plants and herbs, and various dilutions are prepared after the juices of plants, have been extracted. For an effective and immediate gains, plants extracts are processed in alcohol and then sleeved to patients in drop doses. Sometimes even material extract of plants is used for still quicker results.
In Ayurveda, herbs are also used in most of the preparations, if not all, either in the form of powder, Asava, Arishtha, decoction, for massaging, for local application etc. In fact, herbs are an inseparable part of Homeopathy and Ayurveda.
