The Jawaharlal Nehru Ayurvedic Udhyan is spread over 30 acres. Once the meditional

properties of wild plat is organized by an established medicine system like allopathic,

ayurvedic. The main reason for this undesirable situation is that as on today “Many of the

plant base pharmaceutical entrepreneurs produce that raw from the wild rather than

cultivating them. Jawaharlal Nehru Udhyan there are 240 onwards plant species and 200

onward medicinal plants are growing in the Udhyan. It is situated behind Ministers bunglow

, Gandhinar , Gujarat. The paper highlights the less known medicinal uses and Taxonomic

Description of 18 plants. The objective of the study was to document the knowledge of

medicinal plants, to sensitize and create awareness among the local people about the

importants of medicinal plant resources of Gujarat, India.

The term “medicinal plant” Include various types of plants used in herbalism ("herbology"

or "herbal medicine"). It is the use of plants for medicinal purposes, and the study of such

uses. The word “Herb” has been derived from the Latin word, “herba” and an old French

word “herbe”. Now A day, herb refers to any part of the plant like fruit, seed, stem, bark,

flower, leaf, stigma or a root, as well as a non-woody plant. Earlier, the term “herb” was

only applied to non-woody plants, including those that come from trees and shrubs. These

medicinal plants are also used as food, flavonoid, medicine or perfume and also in certain

spiritual activities.

Plants have been used for medicinal purposes long before prehistoric period. Ancient Unani

manuscripts Egyptian papyrus and Chinese writings described the use of herbs. Evidence

exist that Unani Hakims, Indian Vaids and European and Mediterranean cultures were using

herbs for over 4000 years as medicine. Indigenous cultures such as Rome, Egypt, Iran, Africa

and America used herbs in their healing rituals, while other developed traditional medical

systems such as Unani, Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine in which herbal therapies were used

systematically. As per data available over three-quarters of the world population relies

mainly on plants and plant extracts for their health care needs. More than 30% of the entire

plant species, at one time or other was used for medicinal purposes. It has been estimated,

that in developed countries such as United States, plant drugs constitute as much as 25% of

the total drugs, while in fast developing countries such as India and China, the contribution

is as much as 80%. Thus, the economic importance of medicinal plants is much more to

countries such as India than to rest of the world. These countries provide two third of the

plants used in modern system of medicine and the health care system of rural population

depend on indigenous systems of medicine.

Treatment with medicinal plants is considered very safe as there is no or minimal side effects.

These remedies are in sync with nature, which is the biggest advantage. The golden fact is

that, use of herbal treatments is independent of any age groups and the sexes.

The ancient scholars only believed that herbs are only solutions to cure a number of health

related problems and diseases. They conducted thorough study about the same, experimented

to arrive at accurate conclusions about the efficacy of different herbs that have medicinal

value. Most of the drugs, thus formulated, are free of side effects or reactions. This is the

INTRODUCTION



reason why herbal treatment is growing in popularity across the globe. These herbs that have

medicinal quality provide rational means for the treatment of many internal diseases, which

are otherwise considered difficult to cure.

Medicinal plants such as Aloe, Tulsi, Neem, Turmeric and Ginger cure several common

ailments. These are considered as home remedies in many parts of the country. It is known

fact that lots of consumers are using Basil (Tulsi) for making medicines, black tea, inpooja

and other activities in their day to day life.

In several parts of the world many herbs are used to honour their kings showing it as a symbol

of luck. Now, after finding the role of herbs in medicine, lots of consumers started the

plantation of tulsi and other medicinal plants in their home gardens. Medicinal plants are

considered as a Richresources of ingredients which can be used in drug development either

Pharmacopoeial, non- pharmacopoeial or synthetic drugs. A part from that, these plants play

a critical role in the development of human cultures around the whole world. Moreover,

some plants are considered as important source of nutrition and as a result of that they are

recommended for their therapeutic values. Some of these plants include ginger, green tea,

walnuts, aloe, pepper and turmeric etc. Some plants and their derivatives are considered as

important source for active ingredients which are used in aspirin and toothpaste etc. Apart

from the Medicinal Uses, herbs are also used in natural dye, pest control, food, perfume, tea

and so on. In many countries different kinds of medicinal plants/ herbs are used to keep ants,

flies, mice and flee away from homes and offices. Now, a daysmedicinal herbs are important

sources for pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Recipes for the treatment of common ailments such as diarrhoea, constipation, hypertension,

low sperm count, dysentery and weak penile erection, piles, coated tongue, menstrual

disorders, bronchial asthma, leucorrhoea and fevers are given by the traditional medicine

practitioners very effectively. Over the past two decades, there has been a tremendous

increase in the use of herbal medicine; however, there is still a significant lack of research

data in this field. Therefore since 1999, WHO has published three volumes of the WHO

monographs on selected medicinal plants.Many Herbal are used as blood purifiers to alter or

change a long-standing condition by eliminating the metabolic toxins. These are also known

as 'blood cleansers'. Certain herbal improves the immunity of the person, thereby reducing

conditions such as fever. Some herbal is also having antibiotic properties. Turmeric is useful

in inhibiting the growth of germs, harmful microbes and bacteria. Turmeric is widely used



as a home remedy to heal cut and wounds.Some herbs like aloe, sandalwood, Turmeric are

commonly used as antiseptic and are very high in their medicinal values.

The Government Herbal Botanical Garden inspires to human society to plant the trees and

carethey including all matters. Government Herbal Botanical Garden is situated in sector 20,

Gandhinagar. Thus Government Herbal Botanical Garden gives us inspiration to protect the

plants and to know its uses. There are various plants planted according to different themes

like planets, constellations.

Present paper indicates 100 constellations with 100 plant- species show importance of

individual. In the ancient time our elderswere directly or indirectly connected with the trees.

Theybelieved that plants are useful to different purposes in life.Recently people believe in

astrology, so they can care and protectthe plants regularly.

Such regions were frequently visited and plants observed and photos taken of the medicinal

plant species. According to Bentham and Hooker all the selected plant species are arranged

and presented with colour photo graphs, Botanical name , Local name , Family and Uses

given in the present research paper. Plants were identified by using flora of Gujarat state by

(shah-1978) and the text book of systematic botany by R.N.Sutaria(1958) and other standard

book.Some important information of various medicinal plants collected from Yogi Sir. We

reported certain species by the photo graphs and uses of the medicinal plants.

STUDY AREA

METHODOLOGY



Total 18 medicinal plants belonging 14 families recorded. This paper Botanical name ,

Family , Local name and Uses are taken. Scientific studies may elaborate the prospect of

growing more and more medicinal plants successively. By proper management of medicinal

plants remarkable improvement may be made on the earning of foreign exchange for the

country. Certain industries based on the medicinal plants may be developed which will not

only be economically viable but also help in the economic up liftman of the nation. On the

basis of distribution of some medicinal plants it is observed that, there is a good scope for

commercial exploration of some pharmaceutically important medicinal plants. The authors

are very optimistic about the reclamation of waste and uncultivated land in the state for

turning them into innumerable medicinal plant gardens. Fig is shown Density of Different

Species Of Trees , Shrubs , Herbs and Climbers Of Medicinal Plants , which are growing in

the study area. List of Biodiversity of Medicinal Plants is given in the table. Plate 1 and Plate
