Title: Promotion of Traditional Herbal Medicines for Increasing Immunity and overall will being. 

1. Objectives of the Practice:

It is now realized that there are huge potential in the local herbal medicines. The tribal of this area have been using these medicines since olden times. But due to contact with modern’s allopathic medicines, its knowledge has remained confined only among some old people of the tribal society with the passage of time this invaluable heritage of ours is for vanishing.  The great ancient knowledge about the curative powers of herbal medicines needs to be protected and to be brought in light of general public.

Finding out such old and knowledgeable people in the tribal society was a great challenge. The old people do not easily want to pass on their knowledge for fear of being miscued for money making purposes.

We developed and ‘ Ayurvedic Garden’ in our college campus. Our effort yielded concrete results when covid 19 waves came. Due to the developed immunity, it caused minimum casualty. We also made and distributed as herbal syrup with the help of the local knowledgeable people. The results fully propose the tremendous power hidden these herbal medicines problem encountered and recourses required. It was difficult to identify such people who have knowledge of their medical herbal medicines. Those who know did not want to part with their knowledge to convince them about its was only for welfare of general public was hard enough. Making their medicines also required financial resource. But we outcome all there challenges. Our effort was admired by the MLA Santrampur Dr. Kuberbhai Dindor, who is also the Chairmen of Gujarat Tribal Development Corporation. 

Note: This practice of ours need to be adopted by a large number of colleges. It will not only project the fast vanishing heritage but also offer a cheap and effective way of treatment of various incurable is diseases.

People were not readily convinced. They easily got cheap local made liquor and tobacco pouches. they did not consider it an economic burden. They rather consider them to be performance enhancing was and an aid to their earning capacity. So they stuck to their habits.
