title: Screening of Madhumehaghna (anti diabetic) plants in Vrihattrayee.
abstract: The three texts written by Charak, Sushrut and Vagbhat are considered as Vrihattrayee because of their original contributions to the basic tenants of Ayurveda and innovative uses of plants and medicine. But despite the possibility of exploring efficacious for mulations from among these classics, not much attempts have been made in this direction, due to the fact that now most of them are not in vogue in practice by majority of Ayurvedic physicians. As such, a glossary of plants as described in those texts for the management of prameha including diabetes has been collected which would be useful for studying these drugs from different angles.
