I got this small ebook – Mooligai Arputham ( meaning wonders of herbs ) from one of my friend as email forward. Just have a look. Amazing stuff they have collected and published as a handbook. It is in Tamil. Even if you dont know to read tamil, just ask somebody who know tamil to read it for you. This gives valuable information about mooligai (herbs) and tell its importance by giving the uses for each of them. Just make them as part of your life.
I dont know whether any copyrights involved in this, if any i will remove it. I had mailed them seeking their permission to publish this but i didnt get a reply yet. As i wanted to share something which is too good and will be useful for many, posting the same here.
Infact i heard from my friend that there is a much bigger version of the book available, i have asked him to get me a copy of it. I think that should cost around Rs. 100 to 150. If you happen to see that book, please buy it, we need to encourage such good things. Also dont forget to grow mooligais in your home. Just contact them and they will help you definitely i guess in giving tips to grow in your (though it is small) home
