Reason for starting this project

in livestock animals is inviting diseases.

Ayurveda herbal preparations
• We find out that many Indian medicinal plants
are growing in the North East of Holland.
• This resulted in our research on this topic.
• We discovered the reason through a book
recently translated about Indian medicinal
plants, their usage and herbal recipes.
• This herbal formulas are identical from old
Ayurveda books from South India (Kerala).

1000 recipes to prevent diseases.

promote resistance.

history of East India Company who brought
this plants to this part of the Netherlands.
