For Ayurveda, eating food is part of a much larger process of living harmoniously and joyously with the surroundings. Apart from a correct lifestyle that incorporates Yoga in the routine, right food was also an inherent part of traditional diet. Well-modulated/ regulated diet is the best medicine.
In this garden we seek to demonstrate and conserve some of the important indigenous vegetables/ fruits/ spices / wild herbs that have sustained humanity on this beautiful planet for centuries. It is therefore, both important and urgent that we are aware of some of these ‘wild’ plants and actively involved in their conservation and propagation.

The precepts of Ayurveda can be found in Atharvaveda which were formally and comprehensively dealt with in Caraksamhita by Caraka. The myth says that after having dealt the Science of life, Caraka assumed the identity of Patanjali and developed Yoga sutras. By observing the tenets of Yoga and Ayurveda one lives longer, healthy and with vigour. Most of the native plants are medicinal plants and not only they are backbone of Ayurveda but also used in all other systems of medicines such as Unani, Homeopathy, Siddha and Allopathic. In today’s challenging times the need for their conservation is both dire and crucial. Some other aspects of native medicinal plants.
1. Ecological As per the reference in “ Atharvaveda” these plants have property of purifying the air as well as filtering out harmful radiations. The routine practice of wearing herbs in illness was a part of treatment earlier which now is known as Aromatherapy.
2. Medicinal Over 70% of our medicines are plant based. We know that the efficacy and potency of these medicines largely depend upon the quality as well as the freshness of herbs and these gardens would assure the supply of such fresh herbs.
3. Educational These gardens could prove to be an important medium to educate students and population not only about culture, rich traditions and biodiversity but also the importance and significance of home remedies.
