Herbal Research Division
To establish Ayurveda and strengthen related research at International level
Under the supervision of Acharya Balkrishna Ji, Patanjali Herbal Research Department was initiated to ensure all the medicinal plants used in different traditional medicinal systems across the globe are being gathered and publish into a book. The Scientists at Herbal Research Department started publishing books on flora and medicinal flora of different areas of India. The team is also working on vegetation survey in different regions of India.
Herbal Research Division is a collaborative effort between 4 different departments; namely World Herbal Encyclopedia (WHE), Taxonomy, Research Foundation Herbarium and Painting and Musuem. All the live paintings (canvas paintings) and 30,000 line diagrams of the medicinal plants are available in these books.

The team is working hard on the remaining 58 volumes. As for World Botanical Dictionary, the team has published 5 different volumes.
