Thanks for your message Promila ji. I have documented Traditional Medicinal
Knowledge about hundreds of healing Rice. Please visit this link and select
the Medicinal Rice you
require<http://www.google.com/#hl=en&safe=off&q=site%3Awww.pankajoudhia.com+%22medicinal+rice%22+oudhia&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=site%3Awww.pankajoudhia.com+%22medicinal+rice%22+oudhia&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=8a3a67d36db160ef>.



As you know, its difficult to find Medicinal
Rice<http://pankajoudhia.com/album/main.php?g2_itemId=18679>these days
due to introduction of new high yielding varieties. Farmers as
well as Traditional Healers are growing it for their own requirement.
Medicinal Rice types are not available in market. I see much scope if
someone come forward to purchase these Rice on regular basis so that farmers
can continue growing it. I am also suggesting state authorities to establish
International Medicinal Rice Research Institute (IMRRI) without any delay.

Here is link to my work on medicinal rice appeared in BBC
Hindi<http://www.bbc.co.uk/hindi/regionalnews/story/2004/10/041010_medicinal_rice.shtml>but
it gives very preliminary information. For detailed info please refer
the first link.
