Benefits Of Justicia Adhatoda

Quinine alkaloid was used briefly to treat heart problems and cardiac arrhythmia and became a standard for cardiac therapy. This lead to the discovery of a second alkaloid called quinidine that is found in the tree bark. This is primarily used in prescriptions to treat arrhythmia. However, this alkaloid has not yet been able to be synthesized by scientists, requiring the natural bark of the tree for its

To tested the effects of this plant, a research study was conducted through an online survey among college students. A group of undergrad college student was randomly selected through email from a large university in southwestern Unites States to participate. The study procedure was an online survey, with based questionnaire on college student’s achievement, lifestyle, alcohol, and other drugs behavior if a user of drugs. The data was base on the usage of drugs within the two semesters of fall 2006 and spring 2007. To get respondents to participate, rewards were offered for anyone who

The extent at which environmental factors affect the rate of catalase activity was discovered in this lab. The assay system, in which a filter paper disc was dipped into the enzyme and submerged using a stirring rod in a test tube filled with 20mL of hydrogen peroxide, was used to test several enzyme factors. As the saturation of hydrogen peroxide increased the rate of reaction increased as well. When the enzyme concentration increased the rate of catalase activity increased too. When catalase was subjected to an increase of temperature changes, the rate of reaction increased. Once the protein denatured around 100ºC the catalase activity decreased. Catalase operated with a high efficiency

An example of those are carnosic acid, rosmarinic acid and caffeic acid, possessing strong antioxidant, radical-scavenging, and antibacterial activities. The majority of the phenolic acids in Sage species are derivatives of caffeic acid which is the building block of a variety of plant metabolites. Caffeic acid plays a central role in the biochemistry of the Lamiaceae plants, and occurs mainly in a dimer form as rosmarinic acid. Carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid, which are present at high concentrations in the extract of Sage plants, have shown strong antioxidant properties. Ursolic acid, also a component of sage, has strong anti-inflammatory properties, and in sage preparations, it is considered as a quality control measurement for the anti-inflammatory effects of different

Fruit:it has a two-valved with hairless and egg-shaped capsules of about 6-8 mm long, containing smooth and dark seeds.

Stems are long and weak, square in cross section, prickly (spiny) with glands on young parts. Leaves are matt, mid-green, deeply veined and sometimes hairy. The lamina is pear or oval shaped, pointed to broadly-rounded apex, rounded base, round or regular toothed margins with wrinkled and strigose (sharp oppressed rigid bristly hairs) upper surface. When the leaves are crushed, a strong and distinctive odour is exuded. Flower heads have many smaller flowers. Each flower is tubular-shaped and have 4 spreading lobes (petals), changing colour with age. The colours would be a various combinations of white, yellow, orange, red or pink. Fruit is a berry or drupe arranged in clusters. The fruit is green and becomes purple-black when mature. This plant takes over huge areas usually in moist gullies, along drainage lines and around wetlands. It can be found scrambling high into tree tops. The intense growth of the weed restricts any plant to grow beneath it or around it. This results in plant growth being restricted and not allowing plantation to develop.

and is a stimulant of the central nervous system. It is a bitter alkaloid C8H10N4O2 also found in cacao

Natural products used to treat many diseases for a long time. Natural products derived from many sources such as fungus like Piptoporus betulinus, which is used as an antiseptic and disinfectant and plants like Alhagi maurorum, which is used to treat anorexia, constipation, dermatosis, epistaxis, fever, leprosy, and obesity. (1) In this research, we will focus on one natural product derived from a plant called Serenoa repens. Serenoa repens also called Saw palmetto, is a plant grows up to 1m in width and 3m in height. Each part of it has different uses, for example, its leaves are used to make thatching, baskets, fans, brushes, brooms, rope, fire kindling, fish traps and dolls and its berries are used as food and as medicine. There are many

It is an enduring woody climbing liana. It is local to India, Indonesia, Malaysia, South America and West Indies but at the same time is generally developed in the tropical areas. Black pepper is a general table sauce used to flavor a wide range of foods around the world. It is dedicated as the 'Ruler of Spices' (Srinivasan, 2007; Mathew et al., 2001). The fiery taste is fundamentally because of the nearness of a compound Piperine. Piperine is an impactful alkaloid (Tripathi et al., 1996) that improves the bioavailability of different basically and remedially assorted medications. (Khajuria et al., 2002). It likewise contains little measures of safrol, pinene, sabinene, limonene, caryophyllene and linaonol compound.

Belladonna grows in the shades of Europe during the spring. With visually appetizing berries and deep purple flowers, the plant itself is beautiful. When crushed the berries emit a foul odor, similar to decay—the first sign that something about this plant is not as pretty as it seems. (Grieve, 1971) If a full grown man was to consume 10- 20 berries or one of the more potent leaves, a poisonous compound referred tropane alkaloids will begin to make the user feel the onsets of fever and hallucinations. In higher doses, Belladonna will lead to vomiting, coma and eventually death by respiratory failure. (Casken, et al. 2003) Although the plant is beautiful, it is its effect on the body that has elevated it to international acclaim and brought about the attentions of artists, witches and schemers alike.

The plant species that I researched was Medicago sativa, or more commonly known as Alfalfa. I found this to be a very intriguing plant to research because we grow alfalfa on the farm as a fodder feed for the animals but I had no idea that it had such a practical use in modern medicine. It is believed that alfalfa was first grown somewhere within the Middle East and then spread to Europe and parts of Asia, the colonists brought it over from Europe to America. And today it can be found in nearly every continent used to feed livestock. The leaves of Alfalfa are what is beneficial in the use of medicine.The leaves are known to have positve affects on the digestive system and can help to lower cholesterol. They also aide with the cleansing the

The use of natural products as medicine has initiated the isolation of active compounds. The first commercial pure natural product introduced for therapeutic use is generally considered to be

Traditionally, the root of A. racemosus has been widely used to increase fertility and libido, cures inflammation of sexual organs, enhances ovulation, prepares the womb for conception and prevents miscarriages (Kalia et al., 2003; Naik, 1988; Dwivedi & Tewari, 1991). Although, A. racemosus roots also known to possess estrogenic property (Tewari et al., 1968), but it has also been documented that at higher doses of A. racemosus, it maintains the balance between the endogenous female sex hormones (Sharma and Bhatnagar, 2011). Moreover, the ethno medical use of A. racemosus root as an anticonvulsant has been experimentally validated in our laboratory (unpublished data) as well as by other researchers too (references). The available literature reveals that the plant has not been explored with respect to its therapeutic potential as an anticonvulsant in catamenial epilepsy. But nowadays the virtual screening of the phytochemicals is believed to be a major tool for drug discovery beyond their ethnic use. Hence, an effort has been made to explore the pharmacological activities of Asparagus racemosus root using Prediction of Activity Spectra for Substances (PASS) and Pharmaexpert. In line with in our current study, a PASS based analysis (Table 1 & 2) revealed the presence of different bioactive phytoconstituents which might be responsible as an anticonvulsant with the most significant possibility of getting effective in the management of catamenial

Unlike modern medicine, herbal drugs can be adjusted according to the condition of each patient. The diagnostic approach depends on the tailored requirements according to the
