Dear Dr. Hartzell,

The pdf is attached. A caution --
When the paper was sent to the publisher Windows did not furnish one with all the diacritics. So, for the diacritics and only the diacritics, I had to use the Indian processor i-Leap which is now obsolete and not Windows compliant.  But since this is a pdf I hope that the diacritics will be readable in Windows 7 or higher versions.

If the diacritics prove to be prohibitive I will edit some MSWord format of the paper that I preserved making them Windows compatible and then resend the matter to you

But please let me know the result.

Best wishes

ku.s.tha = saussurea lappa has been termed am.rta in the Atharvaveda. It is said to grow in heaven which was none other than the Kullu district in the Himachal Pradesh. According to the AV this was to be used as an anti-piretic drug. Its utility was forgotten later and is now used for indigestion by traditional physicians in the Himachal Pradesh..  The matter was brought to notice by me in 2005 -- Indische Kultur im Kontext Harrassowitz Verlag Wiesbaden:9-29.

Will this be useful?

Best

A colleague in agriculture has asked the following questions:

Is there anything in Ayurvedic medicine texts on the value of plant nectar as a medicinal material ?

Is there anything in Ayurvedic texts on plants versus liver flukes of cattle or bilharzia, the human equivalent, which the ancient Egyptians suffered from?

Do any of the Ayurveda Pandits on the list have suggestions/information on these?

Cheers
