Siras, Rauwolfia Serpentina (Sarpgandha) and Gmelina Arborea (Kaashmri) were some of the other plants amongst many that we saw here, which had medicinal benefits. These plants have Ayurvedic properties and are gifts from Mother Nature to us. In fact, trees like Sadabahar can help in curing cancer.
Given the importance and benefits of the trees and plants around us, we became aware that they need to be protected and conserved. Pollution from the cities and rivers is destroying natural surroundings, and these trees with medicinal properties along with it. In that sense we are being our own enemies, destroying what natural gifts we have.
“What we give to Nature, it will give back to us.” That was the all important learning from the trip, which was an eye opening experience for all of us. We came back aware of the impact our lives have on Nature and our responsibility to protect it. It’s time for us to take an oath to protect the trees from the destruction caused by pollution.
