Many modern drugs are actually derived from fresh and dried edible parts of plants. These are less likely than pharmaceuticals to cause side effects which, when they do occur, are generally far milder. While Western medicine seeks to isolate a single active ingredient, kitchen medicine relies on the synergistic action of their many constituents. These work physiologically to restore balance in the body rather than simply targeting a symptom. As a result, kitchen spices/products often tend to take effect more slowly than pharmaceuticals but have a greater impact on whole body wellness. The exposition of maladies and their remedies have been given in the ready reckoner style in suggesting medicines according to specific symptoms and have been given in an alphabetical order of ailments.
