Healing Orchids of India: A Botanical and Therapeutic Compendium presents a structured and research-oriented exploration of India’s medicinal orchids. Integrating botanical taxonomy, phytochemical analysis, ethnobotanical traditions, and conservation concerns, the volume offers a comprehensive account of orchid diversity across India’s ecological regions. Drawing from classical medicinal texts, field documentation, and contemporary scientific studies,
the book situates orchids within both traditional knowledge systems and modern pharmacological inquiry. It addresses species profiles, therapeutic uses, conservation challenges, and emerging research directions. Designed for undergraduate and early postgraduate students, as well as researchers in plant sciences and ethnobotany, the book serves as an academic resource that connects botanical scholarship with cultural and medicinal heritage.
