Hundreds of medicinal plants growing in Goa have been used by Ayurveda for thousands of years in healing various
health problems successfully and naturally. Due to modern urban life-style, many of us are unaware of the powerful
health benefits of herbs growing naturally in our area. Instead of becoming self-reliant by wisely using these
medicinal plants to heal day-to-day minor health problems, most of us have become dependent on commercially sold
chemical products to artificially suppress only the symptoms.
