Abstract

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into a natural environment that causes instability, disorder, harm  and discomfort to the ecosystem. Due to the increase of day by day environmental pollution and slow chemical  poisoning it may bring extinction of human race very soon. It has to be taken seriously, as it has a negative  effect on natural elements that are an absolute need for life to exist on earth, such as water and air.  Environmental pollution has five basic types of pollution, namely, air, water, soil, noise and light. Today not a  single component of ecosystem remains free from pollution. It exerts harmful effects not only on human health  but also destroys the environment which is the ultimately results in the destruction of life on planet earth. The  need of herbs is increasing for human survival in the present day because the danger of slow chemical poisoning  is ever present. Ayurveda meaning ‘the science of life’, explains that it is not only a science of medicine and  medical cure of disease, symptoms only but it balances the total ecosystem of human life in the best way.
