Dear Dr. Oudhia: Interesting facts... I am very fond of this plant... and flowers...
I have a few questions, hope you'll take time to respond to them... they are not idle questions.... 1: do the tribal healers have their own name list of all the varieties, have you written them up someplace where I can see the list? you mentioned 20 or more varieties are recognized by the healers... 2: What is Vedic method of farming? This is not an idle question... am studying vedic math to go with my other vedic studies... such as ayurvedic medicine and studying vedas, starting with RIgveda... SO PLEASE RESPOND IN COMPLETE DETAILS>>> I can not handle utube...just so you can direct me to correct links... so I can read... pdf or word-doc files... Thanks...
