The
Herbal and Naturopathy medicinal therapeutic method
was not new to the village people nor they were
unaware of it. But as one of the effective remedies
it could not establish its so much efficacy for want
of consistency in one hand and copious applications
of alternative drug as faster and quickly gained
treatment, through costs higher, on the other. It
was not at all easy in the beginning to believe
the villagers people that cultivation of herbal
medicinal plants can play a significant role in
rural economy.
|
|
| But
our conscientious efforts through awareness campaign mothers
meeting and conducting village level herbal clinic could
able to trounce the stumbling block initially delineated.
The concept of setting up nurseries in the villages
smoothens the progress of the project activities in true
sense. |
| Our
mission is to put forward the Herbal &
Naturopathy medicines and medicinal plants cultivation programme as eco-friendly and effective low cost
treatment” |
