An Insightful Exposition on Sarvausadhi Guna Kalpakam: A Less Familiar Compendium on Ayurvedic Materia Medica

Abstract
The plants, metals, minerals and animal products have been in vogue since centuries for the prevention, management and cure of illness of human kind. Nighantu have added much to the indigenous pharmacopeia in addition to the inherent knowledge of Vedic and Samhita periods. Moreover, eminent scholars of modern era have significantly contributed to the enrichment of Ayurvedic pharmacopeia through systematic documentation and presentation of information in user-friendly manner for easy browsing. Sarvausadhi Guna kalpakam is one such unique contribution of modern period on Ayurvedic Materia Medica available in Telugu Script. An attempt has been made to place a brief account on the methodology and contents of the text that would facilitate the scientists, physicians, and research scholars for proper utilization of this knowledge.
