Abstract
Indus Valley Civilization, one of the oldest
civilizations in the world, developed in ancient India. Whatever evidence has
been found from there till today shows that India was a very scientific country
where different types of universities were opened and different types of
teachings and knowledge were given. It is not India but foreign students also
come here to learn. India is known by its ancient scholars whose tireless
efforts have helped us to know about the species of different types of trees
and plants and their medicinal values. Their words came to us from ancient
texts through suttas, hymns and formula. While considering old text we come to
know about the authors or composer of those texts, thus we may find out
scientist name too. It must have been a collective effort, not by any single
scholar who has explained about ancient medical practice or botany. There can
be more than one writer or scholar. In the present review, we have tried to
study about some texts so that we can get information about the ancient
scientists and their contribution in botany and medicine.
