Medicinal plants and their benefits

Introduction
Medicinal plants can be described as nature's ailments. Ever since ancient times, medicinal plants, also called medicinal herbs, have been used in traditional medicine practices.
Some of the commonly known medicinal plants/herbs are Holy basil ( Tulsi ), Ashwagandha, turmeric etc.
They are used to treat various health conditions like Arthritis, Digestive problems, Eczema. High blood pressure.
Some are also used as natural immunity boosters.
If you're a person who believes in natural and organic products then it is likely you have heard the word " Ayurveda " tossed around.
Ayurveda or Ayurvedic medicine ( the soul of Indian medicine )is a natural system of medicine, which originated in India about 3,000 years ago.
It is believed that several ayurvedic treatments that include medicinal herbs can even treat cancer!
The benefits of these magical herbs are priceless!
Thank you.

    Dear Jothilakshmi, Aaron, Abhishek and Tanya

    My teampartner Karla and I love your project idea. We think the topic of plants being used for medical purposes is very interesting.
    We would love to colaborate with you and do this project together. We could compare India and Switzerland and see how the countries use the plants they have. Also, my half sister is an alternative practitioner (or naturopath), which means that we could interview her and talk to her about how she uses plants to heal people.

    We will await your answer and hope to colaborate with you on this project.

    Kind regards,
    Anabel and Karla
