 ABSTRACT

In the current scenario changing lifestyle, increasing awareness among

consumers, concerns about the side effects of modern allopathy and rising preference
among for medicinal herbs/ ayurvedic medicines is seen in recent years. Ayurvedic
market to flourish in recent years. Global market size of Ayurvedic products was
estimated to be around USD 5170 million in 2019. The market is expected to grow at a
CAGR of around 12.2% to reach around USD 9210 million by 2024.

In this project report a new approach is to find out all kinds of herbs to cure
many types of diseases. The approach is based on how people preferred Ayurveda over
allopathy after the covid-19 pandemic. The key idea underlying the approach is to make
consumer aware about the side effects of allopathy and to make them know the benefits
of ayurvedic medicines. As everyone knows that allopathy only focus on symptoms
and disease but Ayurveda has focus on body mind and spirit. 90% of the ayurvedic
medicines are made from herbs. So, in this project we made an e-commerce website
selling herbs and listed various nurseries selling herbs. We also tried to make the
customer aware of the usage herbs in medicine.

INTRODUCTION
 CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND

Healing with medicinal plants is as old as mankind itself. The connection

between man and his search for herbs in nature dates from the far past from over 3000
years, of which there is ample evidence from various sources: written documents,
preserved monuments, and even original plant medicines. Awareness of medicinal
plants usage is a result of the many years of struggles against illnesses due to which
man learned to pursue drugs in barks, seeds, fruit bodies, and other parts of the plants.
Contemporary science has acknowledged their active action, and it has included in
modern pharmacotherapy a range of drugs of plant origin, known by ancient
civilizations and used throughout the millennia. The knowledge of the development of
ideas related to the usage of medicinal plants as well as the evolution of awareness has
increased the ability of pharmacists and physicians to respond to the challenges that
have emerged with the spreading of professional services in facilitation of man's life.
Ever since ancient times, in search for rescue for their disease, the people looked
for herbs in nature. The beginnings of the herbs’ use were instinctive, as is the case with
animals. In view of the fact that at the time there was not sufficient information either
concerning the reasons for the illnesses or concerning which plant and how it could be
utilized as a cure, everything was based on experience. In time, the reasons for the
usage of specific medicinal plants for treatment of certain diseases were being
discovered; thus, the medicinal plants’ usage gradually abandoned the empiric
framework and became founded on explicatory facts. Until the advent of iatrochemistry
in 16th century, plants had been the source of treatment and prophylaxis. Nonetheless,
the decreasing efficacy of synthetic drugs and the increasing contraindications of their
usage make the usage of natural drugs topical again.

1
 Changing lifestyle increasing awareness among consumers, concerns about
sideffects of modern allopathy and rising preference of medicinal herbs is seen in recent
years specially after the outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic. As we all know that
allopathy is a slow poison, people these days prefer ayurvedic medicines. Ayurveda is
the science of life. It deals with the mind, body and spirit of human being. 90% of
ayurvedic medicines are made from herbs.

Herb House is a web-based approach that provides a single and effective platform to
sell herbs. Any nursery or shops can introduce their items on the web-app with their
description and usage. So, this will help our consumers to get herbs easily

1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT

As we know many people these days prefer Ayurvedic medicines over

homeopathy and allopathy. After the surge of covid-19 pandemic many people moved
to home remedies which includes herbs or we can say ayurveda. Most of the people are
also unaware about the benefits of ayurvedic medicines and when it comes to get those
Herbs/medicine it’s difficult to find all types of herbs at a single place, so to overcome
this problem faced by the common man we are building a market place for Herbs where
any nursery or shops can introduce there Herbs on the web-app with their description
and usage. This will help the consumer to get it easily and get the treatment done.

1.3 PURPOSE OF STUDY

Ayurveda and ayurvedic medicines are an highly explored field from almost
3000 years. The benefits of Ayurveda are known to all and it has a huge significance in
the field of medicine. But when it comes to Ayurvedic medicines, there is confusion
regarding the description and differentiation between Ayurveda, Natural, Organic and
Herbal products. While they all are largely a part of the wellness industry, there are
differences in their meaning and coverage.

2
 It is a difficult challenge for the buyers to distinguish between the herbs he
needs for the treatment. And the bigger problem arrives when it gets more difficult to
find those herbs. There is no such platform who sells herbs like this. Either you have to
visit shops or else need to find them from some retailer. But getting it on a single
platform where various nurseries or shops list theirs herbs was difficult. Also getting the
information about the herb used in the treatment of any disease.
Herb House will give the user the knowledge about Ayurveda as well as the
herbs used to make ayurvedic medicines. The buyers will get to know the usage as well
as description of the herb. He can also make medicine from the herb. The user can
search different nurseries and check their products and order according to their need.

Objectives
 To provide easy availability of all kind of herbs to the user.

 To cure many types of diseases.

 To specify the kind of herbs to cure specific diseases.

 To reduce the shortage of herbs in the market.

 To let the buyer know which herb is used to cure which type of disease.

1.4 TECHNOLOGICAL BASE

This Project can be implemented by using various technologies like-

Python
Python is a general-purpose interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, and high-
level programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum from 1985- 1990.
Like Perl, Python source code is also available under the GNU General Public License
(GPL).Python is dynamically typed and garbage-collected. It supports multiple
programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional
programming. Python is often described as a batteries included" language due to its
comprehensive standard library

3
Features:
• Easy-to-learn − Python has few keywords, simple structure, and a clearly defined
syntax. This allows the student to pick up the language quickly.

• Easy-to-read − Python code is more clearly defined and visible to the eyes.

• Easy-to-maintain − Python's source code is fairly easy-to-maintain.

• Scalable − Python provides a better structure and support for large programs than shell
scripting.

Django
Django is a free and open source web application framework written in python.
It is used for rapid web development and clean, pragmatic design. It is built by
experienced developers to make repetitive tasks easier, so we can focus on writing apps
instead of reinventing the wheel.

Features:
 Super fast: Django development is extremely fast. Our ideas can take the shape
of a product very quickly.

 Fully loaded: Django has dozens of projects that can be integrated to carry out
common tasks such as user authentication, authorization, and content
administration.

 Versatile: Django can be used for almost any kind of project, from CMSs to e-
commerce apps to on-demand delivery platforms.
 Secure: Django also has support to prevent common security issues, including
cross-site request forgery, cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and clickjacking.

 Scalable: Django websites can scale fast to meet high traffic demands.

LITERATURE SURVEY
2.1 RELATED WORK

1. A Kumar et al. A search of the clinical research published between 1986 and
2006 on the effects and applications of herbal medicine in cancer pain
management was conducted using databases of CBM, CMCC, (available since
1989) in PubMed and EMBASE in English. We included only reports of original
publications on cancer-induced pain, resulting in a total of 115 articles. We
evaluated the methodological quality of the articles following the guidelines set
forth as "Levels of Evidence of Human Studies of Cancer in Complementary
and Alternative Medicine" by the National Cancer Institute.

2. Lari SM et al. Chemical warfare (CW) agents are toxic synthetic chemicals that
affect human's health, and sulfur mustard (SM) is a well-known chemical
weapon that caused deaths of victims. The lung is the main target of SM
exposure, and there are no definitive therapeutic modalities for lung injury
induced by this agent. The possible therapeutic effects of medicinal plants and
their active ingredients on lung injury induced by SM were reviewed in this
survey until the end of June 2021. Medicinal plants including Crocus sativus,
Curcuma longa, Thymus vulgaris, Nigella sativa, and Zataria multiflora and also
natural compounds showed therapeutic potential in improving of various
features of lung injury induced by SM and other related chemical agents. Several
studies showed therapeutic effects of some medicinal plants and natural products
on lung inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune responses in experimental
studies in SM-induced lung injury. In addition, clinical studies also showed the
effect of medicinal plants and natural compounds on respiratory symptoms,
pulmonary function tests (PFTs), and inflammatory markers. The therapeutic
effects of medicinal plants and natural products on lung disorder induced by SM
and related chemical agents were shown through amelioration of various
features of lung injury.

3. Trauma Tiahong et al. (2015) reported the effect of Panax notoginseng Radix
in survivours of the Great Sichuan earthquake with multiple rib fractures and
pulmonary contusions. In a retrospective study, the combination of Panax
notoginseng Radix and conventional treatment was compared with conventional
5
 treatment alone. Visual analogue scales of pain were lower in the combination
group at one and two weeks. In the combination group, the duration of
mechanical ventilation, systemic analgesia administration, and hospital stay was
significantly lower than in the conventional treatment group.

Real Time Survey

1. Shri Shail Herbs Pvt. Ltd. Nagpur:

Shri Shail herbs in Pratapnagar, is a manufacturer of medicinal herbs in Nagpur. It

focuses specially on their own brand products. They sell seeds of herbs and hence they
have less number of herbs. They have oils made from herbs. Also less type of medicinal
herbs.

2. Pande Nursery, Nagpur:

Pande Nursery located at Jafar nagar, Nagpur is a top producer of herbs. They
mostly have show plants but they also grow a large variety of herbs used in the
treatment of various disease. They also grow herbs used for cooking.

3. Green Gold Nursery, Takli

Green Gold Nursery located in Takli, Nagpur is a fine manufacturer of herbs. The
only problem is that it is far from the city so it gets difficult to reach there. And also far
from the main road. They have a large variety of herbs but many times shortage of herbs
happens due to large demand.

Problems:

1. Customers want quality herbs because it is a matter of their health.

2. Customers visit more than one shop to find the type of herbs they want.

3. Sometimes customer wants herbs to be delivered home.

6
4. Sometimes the customers don’t know which kind of herb is used for the treatment of
any disease.

Solutions:

1. Customer will be easily able to find out all kind of herbs at a single place.

2. As the pandemic is going on, the customers will not have to visit anywhere, they can
order herbs form home.

3. Customer can remove or add herbs according to their need.

TESTING, RESULT & DISCUSSION

6.1 TESTING
6.1.1 TYPES OF TESTING

Manual Testing

Manual testing includes testing a software manually, i.e., without using any
automated tool or any script. In this type, the tester takes over the role of an end-user
and tests the software to identify any unexpected behavior or bug. There are different
stages for manual testing such as unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and
user acceptance testing.

Testers use test plans, test cases, or test scenarios to test a software to ensure the
completeness of testing. Manual testing also includes exploratory testing, as testers
explore the software to identify errors in it.

Following are the testing techniques that are performed manually during the test life
Cycle:

 Acceptance Testing
 White Box Testing
 Black Box Testing
 Unit Testing
 System Testing
 Integration Testing

24
Automation Testing

Automation testing, which is also known as Test Automation, is when the tester
writes scripts and uses software to test the product. This process involves automation of
a manual process. Automation Testing is used to re-run the test scenarios that were
performed manually, quickly, and repeatedly.
Apart from regression testing, automation testing is also used to test the application
from load, performance, and stress point of view.
• Large and critical projects

• Projects that require testing the same areas frequently

• Requirements not changing frequently

• Accessing the application for load and performance with many virtual

• Stable software with respect to manual testing

• Availability of time

25
 6.1.2 LEVELS OF TESTING

There are four levels of testing: Unit, Integration, System and Acceptance.

1. Unit Testing: A level of the software testing process where individual

units/components of a software/system are tested. The purpose is to validate that
each unit of the software performs as designed.

2. Integration Testing: A level of the software testing process where individual

units are combined and tested as a group. The purpose of this level of testing is
to expose faults in the interaction between integrated units.

3. System Testing: A level of the software testing process where a complete,

integrated system/software is tested. The purpose of this test is to evaluate the
system’s compliance with the specified requirements.

4. Acceptance Testing: A level of the software testing process where a system is

tested for acceptability. The purpose of this test is to evaluate the system’s
compliance with the business requirements and assess whether it is acceptable
for delivery.

CONCLUSION & FURTHER SCOPE

8.1 CONCLUSION

In this project, we have designed a web application and completed its

development by applying engineering knowledge which provides an approach in
building a platform where users can view and buy herbs online from our website. We
have analyzed and identified that many people preferred ayurvedic medicines over
allopathic medicines after the outbreak of covid-19 pandemic. Changing lifestyle and
awareness among the consumers has led consumers to shift from allopathy which is a
slow poison to Ayurveda. But getting herbs for medicinal treatment sometimes get
difficult. The consumers have to search for herbs and most of the times due to less
availability the consumers were unable to get herbs. Seeing such problems we
developed such kind of website so that the consumer can get all kinds of herbs required
for the treatment of any diseases. And as there are many nurseries there will be less
shortage of herbs. So we created the project in two modules user and admin. We used
modern tools like Django to make this project. During the development of the project,
we understood the importance of individual and teamwork while project
development and management. While showcasing our project through various
seminars and conference we enhanced our communication skills and displayed
professional ethics which results in lifelong learning.

39
8.2 FURTHER SCOPE

1. We can add a complete description or the process through steps or related videos
on how to make medicines for the treatment of any disease with the help of
herbs.

2. We can also add the option of cash on delivery in our project.

3. We can also add steps on how to grow herbs in a specific environment in the
project.

4. We can also sell ayurvedic products beside herbs in our project.

5. The project can be improvised using better UI and tools.

6. The project is extendible by collaborating with similar websites or e-commerce

giants like amazon or flipkart.

7. We can also connect doctors to our project so that the customers can have one to
one conversation with the doctor.

8. This web version of the application can be extended by developing an android

application.

 1. Abstract

In the current scenario changing lifestyle, increasing awareness among

consumers, concerns about the side effects of modern allopathy and rising preference
among for medicinal herbs/ ayurvedic medicines is seen in recent years. Ayurvedic
market to flourish in recent years.
In this project report a new approach is to find out all kinds of herbs to cure
many types of diseases. The approach is based on how people preferred Ayurveda over
allopathy after the covid-19 pandemic. The key idea underlying the approach is to make
consumer aware about the side effects of allopathy and to make them know the benefits
of ayurvedic medicines. As everyone knows that allopathy only focus on symptoms
and disease but Ayurveda has focus on body mind and spirit. 90% of the ayurvedic
medicines are made from herbs. So, in this project we made an e-commerce website
selling herbs and listed various nurseries selling herbs. We also tried to make the
customer aware of the usage herbs in medicine.
