Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine relies heavily on biodiversity, particularly medicinal plants, for its treatments. The system recognizes the importance of natural variation in living beings to understand human health and illness. However, the growing demand for Ayurvedic remedies is putting a strain on biodiversity, necessitating conservation efforts. Dasapushpam, meaning "ten flowers" refers to a group of ten sacred and medicinal plants traditionally used in Kerala, India, and is deeply connected to biodiversity. Even though they are termed as flowers, in reality it is the whole plant and the leaves that are medicinal. The flowers in most cases are small and inconspicuous. Many of these can also be used as pot herbs and added to batters or Dhals to make healthy and tasty dishes. This article explores the cultural and religious beliefs ,ethnomedical and pharmacological properties of dasapuspam, that leverages the power of 10 sacred herbs to promote holistic wellness and personalized medicine. Dasapuspam offers a unique perspective on health and wellness by emphasizing the importance of balancing physical, mental and spiritual well being.In this article an attempt is also made to describe that Antioxidative action of ‘Dasapuspam’ plays a major role in protection of human beings against oxidative damage caused by the highly reactive unpaired electrons referred as free radicals.
