There are some interesting ayervedic herbs IMO. There is probably a bunch of herbal sharks in India like elsewhere. However there are a few Indian herbs that have caught my attention and I want to experiment with them. There is bound to be lots of herbal knowledge in China and India. I've heard some amazing stories of Daoists, who used herbal concoctions and a strict diet, that lived in the 250+ age range. Don't sell herbs short ;)
