Medicinal plants, have been the chief source of drugs used in treatment of various ailments. It is observed that the position of medicinal plants is not the same as in Samhitas. There is a lot of addition of new synonyms and also recording of new observations in terms of actions and uses. Thus, it would be interesting to study such developments in case of each drug historically and scientifically under the heading of 'The Historical Biography', covering the entire life of a medicinal plant along with various changes taking place from time to time.
药用植物一直是治疗各种疾病所用药物的主要来源。据观察，药用植物的地位与在吠陀本集里的地位不同。有很多新同义词的增加，并且在功效和用途方面也有新观察结果的记录。因此，在“历史传记”这一主题下，从历史和科学角度研究每种药物的此类发展会很有趣，该主题涵盖一种药用植物的整个生命周期以及随时间推移发生的各种变化。
