A possibility of errors of interpretation exists around the research on such drugs mentioned in old treatise. Research problems pertaining to these drugs can be resolved by applying the modern scientific principles. Attempts have been made to investigate some of the drugs mentioned by Avicenna (2,3,4). This paper deals with one such drug namely Emblica officinalis.
