Vrikshayurveda
is a healing art of India exclusively practiced by the ancient scholars of Ayurveda
by adopting purely an organic approach in different sectors like agriculture,
medicinal plant culture and horticulture. It is one of the specialized
extension of knowledge of Ayurveda, specially meant for the conservation/
propagation/ cultivation/ plant care and development of plant based processes
and products. Vrikshayurvedic books discuss indigenous taxonomy, bhuminirupana,
beejotpathividhi, Ropanavidhana, poshanavidhi, drumaraksha, glossary of trees,
chitreekarana etc. A vriksha is compared to a human, with its morphological
structures. The trees are assigned Prakriti- Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Rogas in vrikshas are classified either Nija
or Agantu. The treatment of these diseases is based on the vitiation of doshas.
The do’s and don’t’s while making gardens as well as planting trees in
homesteads are also discussed. It includes organic manures, bio liquid manures,
growth regulators and promoters that are effectively utilized for healthy
germination, nourishment, rejuvenation of trees.Thus the knowledge of
Vrikshayurveda is to be linked potentially and utilized to its full for future
generation.This paper is to create an awareness in modern era for the
conservation and promotion of biodiversity and to ensure safe and healthy food
for the future.
