Vishalyakarani or Tridax procumbens L is an Ayurvedic herb under asteraceae family with traditional use in wound healing purpose. It has many pharmacological properties including anti-microbial, anti-cancer, wound healing and anti-septic. The present study is a combined study consisting reviewing the anti-microbial spectrum of Tridax procumbens L. (Vishalyakarani) and quantification of flavonoids and phenols from its leaves especially from the Gandhamardhan hill, Odisha. This aims to equip researchers a useful data about the chemical contents of T. procumbens. The extract was prepared by using Soxhlet extractor and concentrated by distillation. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids, phenols in extract and quantification by the high-throughput nine sixty well plate method. The review process yielded 748 research papers and after thorough discussion 81 papers were selected. The plant has many chemical compounds including flavonoids, essential oils, phenols and wide range of pharmacological activities from which we have included the anti-microbial activities. Historically and from Ramayana we have heard about the effectiveness of the Vishalyakarani in wound healing and in present review proves its worth. But there was a lack of quantification of two important phyto contents and it’s done by high-throughput 96-well plate method.

Cough which is also called “tussis” entails the rapid expulsion of air from the lungs against a closed glottis and has a characteristic sound. This study was done to investigate the cough suppression potential of Korean Red Ginseng extract in Guinea Pigs. The animals exhibiting 10-20 bouts of cough were selected for the study. The selected animals were randomly allotted to 5 groups (n=5 per group). The animals were treated orally: group 1, being the control, received 2ml of normal saline, group 2 received 25 mg/kg of dihydrocodeine, group 3 received 150 mg/kg of Korean Red Ginseng extract, group 4 received 300 mg/kg of the extract and group 5 received 600 mg/kg of the extract. An hour after administration, they were re-exposed to citric acid aerosol, and the latency of cough and cough count were recorded. The procedure was repeated after 2 hours and after 3 hours of treatment. The antitussive activity was then evaluated in each guinea pig as the percentage reduction in the number of coughs also known as percentage suppression of cough and percentage increase in latency of cough. The results revealed that Korean Red Ginseng extract exhibited a dose-dependent percentage increase in cough latency period as well as a percentage increase in suppression of cough which were inferior to dihydrocodeine, but significantly greater than normal saline and basal levels. It is probable that the Korean Red Ginseng extract possesses cough suppression and central nervous system effects similar to that of dihydrocodeine.

Unani system of medicine originated in ancient Greece, with the teachings of and was introduced in India by the Mughal emperors. Oral health is given special emphasis in Unani medicine due to the understanding that diseases of the mouth affect eating and nutrition which may affect all systems of the body. Many drugs described in Unani literature have been used since centuries as folk and traditional medicine in various oral health problems. Oro-dental diseases are described extensively in Unani literature in a systematic manner and many drugs such as Aqar Qarha and Kath Safaid etc are mention for their treatment. Zuroor-e-qula, a powdered poly herbal Unani formulation, known to possess sialorrheic, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties is recommended in cases of stomatitis and gastric ulceration.

Moringa oleifera (Family–Moringaceae) is a native plant of India but also seen in tropical and sub-tropical region of the world. It is commonly known as “drumstick tree” but in Bengali it is known as “Sajne.” Every part of the plant is rich in nutritive components. The leaves, bark, roots, pods and flowers are rich in essential vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. The flowers are used in West Bengal, India as antiviral agent. Apart from this it is used as promising antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial and antidiabetic agent. The leaves, roots and barks not only possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial and antidiabetic but also shows antipyretic, antiepileptic, antiulcer, diuretic, antispasmodic, cholesterol lowering activity. This review focuses on the medical properties of the plant with special focus on the flower.

The Caricaceae family includes the papaya (Carica papaya Linn.), renowned worldwide for its therapeutic and dietary benefits. The fruit is nutritious and delicious, and all plant components, including the fruit, the root, the bark, the peel, the seeds, and the pulp, are known to offer medical benefits. The health advantages of raw papaya are likely to be extensive. Given that it is available year-round, it might be considered a nutrient powerhouse. The biological activity and therapeutic uses of papaya have undergone significant research over the past few years, and as a result, it is currently regarded as an important fruit plant for neutraceuticals. The present review has focused on the anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties of Carica papaya, the nutritional value of the fruit, and the medicinal properties of its various parts to provide a comprehensive overview of this commercial fruit crop with multiple uses.
