The knowledge about medicinally useful plants is scientifically documented, and systematically organized in Ayurveda Samhitas, Nighantus and other texts. Due to innumerability of plant species, many plant drugs were not recorded in classical treatises though they have the medicinal properties. Therefore, no any classical herbal pharmacopeia is available which enumerates all the medicinal plants. Such drugs are being utilized and practiced by the many ethnic groups. Further, many herbal drugs were introduced in India after intrusion of many other countries. Such undocumented and newly introduced herbs are not evaluated scientifically till date. Undocumented or unexplored drugs are known as Anukta Dravya (extra pharmacopeial drugs). Therefore, efforts have been made to compile the scattered references which explain the basic concepts for determination of Anukta Dravya through classical Ayurvedic method.
