Gokhru (Pedalium murex L.) is one of the important medicinal plants propagated through seeds but no germination test has been standardized for this crop yet. Germination test is mandatory for seeds sale which is required for labelling. The fruits of Pedalium murex L. are four angled indehiscent hard pyramidal with four sharp spines and it is very difficult to extract the seeds from fruits. Hence, study was conducted to find out suitable method and optimum temperature for germination test of fruits as well as seeds of gokhru. The study was conducted by using three germination testing methods viz., Top of Paper (TP), Between Paper (BP) and Sand (S) methods and three temperatures i.e. 25, 30 and one alternating temperature of 20-30℃. The results revealed that during germination test of fruits, ‘Sand’ method showed superiority by registering maximum germination (29.67%) over ‘Between Paper’ (23.33%) and ‘Top of Paper’ (3.11%) methods. Viogur index-I (213) and Vigour Index-II (2.20) were also observed maximum in ‘Sand’ method while maximum seedling length (8.00cm) and seedling dry weight (0.075mg) were observed in ‘Between Paper’ method. Among the temperatures, maximum germination (22.78 & 36.00%), seedling length (8.00 & 9.44cm), seedling dry weight (0.142 & 0.077mg), Vigour index-I (186 &341) and Vigour index-II (2.26 & 2.79) were observed at 30℃ in fruits and seeds respectively. No germination was recorded below 20℃. Good germination was observed in seeds compared to fruits. In case of seeds, maximum germination (38.33%), seedling length (9.00cm), seedling dry weight (0.076mg), vigour index-I (329) and vigour index-II (2.77) were recorded in ‘Between Paper’ method. It is concluded that 30℃ temperature is optimum for germination test of both seed as well as fruit in Gokhru and ‘Sand’ method is best for fruit germination test while in case of germination test of seeds ‘Between Paper’ method is best.

Cannabis sativa is an herbaceous plant which is mainly used as a remedy for neurological, digestive and immunological ailments in traditional medicine. Even though Cannabis is the most illicit plant around the world, its medicinal properties are beneficial in number of ways. Numerous beneficial effects of C. sativa have been demonstrated in multiple in-vitro and in-vivo studies from different parts of the world. The aim of this paper was to systematically review the literature and provide a summary on potential medicinal benefits of C. sativa. This systematic review was conducted by using the data bases; Science direct and PubMed for studies published from 1st of January 2015 to 31st of October 2020. In order to obtain further data, a manual search was also carried out from the reference lists of included articles. After removing the duplicate articles 77 total number of articles included in this present review. The beneficial health effects of C. sativa were anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-microbial, anti-parasitic, anti-oxidant and anti-cancer properties. In addition, it revealed that C. sativa lower blood glucose, serum cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Apart from that, the use of Cannabis in other diseases such as irritable bowel disease, renal diseases, neurofibromatosis, and leucorrhea was also identified. The wide range of medicinal effects may be due to main active ingredients of Tetrahydro cannabinol, Cannabidiol, Cannabinol and Tetrahydro cannabivarin. Available in-vitro and invivo evidence suggested that C. sativa has many favorable health effects and further randomized controlled clinical trials will be needed to determine these effects thoroughly.

Background: Dyslipidemia is a significant modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke and an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality independent of LDL-C levels. The nutritional needs of the body have been met based on demand, and pharmacotherapy has been avoided to protect the body from any side effects or adverse effects. Methods: This paper is a case study of patient with high lipid profile level. Patient recommended opting Dieto-therapy with modulation in dietary habits for one month with fortnightly follow up for routine check-up. Results: After one month of changing his diet pattern in terms of quality and quantity, his lipid profile started to improve. Conclusions: It is fair to conclude that the concept of dieto-therapy in UMS has a solid base for confirming safe and effective in the management of dyslipidemia.

Background: Suvarna Prashana (SP) word comes in Kashyapa Samhita only, but use of Suvarna (gold) is mentioned by every Acharya starting from neonatal age. SP increase the intelligence and immunity, and hence used in paediatric age group since long back. Due to competitive nature of education in current days, parents want their child to be bright in education. At the same time, COVID 19 pandemic has revealed the importance of immunity to everyone and parents are in search of immune-modulatory medicine for their children. Vidyabharti in collaboration with Kamdhenu Divya Aushadhi Mahila Sahkari Mandali, Jamnagar are doing work in this field with SP and hence to document the perception of parents for this formulation (SP), this cross sectional study was planned. Material and method: Google forms were provided to 1523 parents of 37 centers, whose child had received this SP at least for 1 year (13 doses) on every Pushya constellation, out of whom 1348 parents had responded. Data were analysed to get the idea about perception of parents for this formulation. Results: Response failure was 11.5%. 94.8% parents found this practice beneficial. 98.52% parents would like to recommend this to other parents. 92.80% and 97.77% parents found their child’s memory and growth and development improved after SP respectively. Family member of 34.64% children were infected with COVID 19 out of which, only 3.41 % children got infected during this study period. Conclusion: Survey study found that most parents believed/perceived that SP provided during every Pushya constellation at least for one year, is beneficial in regards to improvement in memory, general health, immunity of their children. Hence this preliminary data from observational study pave the way to establish the effectiveness of this drug in children through future randomized control trial.

A major part of the total populace relies upon the conventional plant based medicines. The study was carried out to determine the bioactive compounds in the botanicals viz., Phyllanthus niruri, Emblica officinalis and Psoralea corylifolia through phytochemical screening tests and to estimate the total phenol and flavonoid contents in three botanicals. The results of the phytochemical screening tests indicate the presence of phenols, tannin, flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids, steroids and alkaloids. Phytochemicals from medicinal plants/some botanicals are likely to possess many pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antimicrobial effects against various pathogens. The Total Phenol content in Phyllanthus niruri is 115 mg/g and with flavonoid value 70.15 mg/g. The Flavonoid content in Emblica officinalis was found to be 22.52 mg/g. The value varies from plants to plants and the results clearly indicate that plants are rich in various phytochemicals components and it will be more advantage to use these botanicals as natural medicine compared with chemical drugs.

The study was carried out to determine the bioactive compounds in the botanicals viz., Phyllanthus niruri, Emblica officinalis and Psoralea corylifolia through phytochemical screening tests and to estimate the total phenol and flavonoid contents in three botanicals. The results of the phytochemical screening tests indicate the presence of phenols, tannin, flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids, steroids and alkaloids. Phytochemicals from medicinal plants/some botanicals are likely to possess many pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antimicrobial effects against various pathogens. The Total Phenol content in Phyllanthus niruri is 115 mg/g and with flavonoid value 70.15 mg/g. The Flavonoid content in Emblica officinalis was found to be 22.52 mg/g. The value varies from plants to plants and the results clearly indicate that plants are rich in various phytochemicals components and it will be more advantage to use these botanicals as natural medicine compared with chemical drugs.","PeriodicalId":15252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ayurvedic and Herbal Medicine","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81406779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
