Traditional medicine is a body of knowledge, abilities, and procedures based on the assumptions, convictions, and experiences of traditional cultures in order to preserve their health. Many rural or indigenous people in many developing countries highly value traditional herbal treatments. Around 80% of people worldwide, including 60% of rural Indians, rely on traditional medicine, according to the World Health Organization. Utilization of herbal supplements increased from 2.5% to 12% over the previous five years. India's transition from traditional to modern medicine has been made easier by the evaluation of novel medications, particularly those derived from phytochemicals. Some of the chemical elements present in medicinal plants include tannins, alkaloids, carbohydrates, terpenoids, steroids, flavonoids, and phenols. As a result, we are attempting to summarize, gather the number of plants, and their ethnopharmacological qualities in this complete review study research.

With continuous increase in the human population, the cases of food poisoning and spoilage are on the rise. Such spoilage of foods to avoid the growth of unwanted microorganisms in order to protect from poisoning is generally achieved by the use of preservatives. But due to continuous exposure of the microorganism with the same preservatives have been resulted to create resistance against it. So, in order to search for the new preservatives, the petroleum ether, chloroform, acetone, methanol and aqueous extracts of Caesalpinia pulcherrima (L.) leaves have been examined against Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli and Aspergillus niger HN-2 microorganisms for antimicrobial activity. The conducted experimental results clearly indicated about its ability to restrict the growth of tested microorganisms generally responsible for food poisoning and spoilage. Since, the previous reported toxicity studies already showed its safety profile, these plant extracts can surely be the matter of alternative choice as food preservatives.

The current study's goal was to create multi-herb mosquito-repellent incense sticks. Two formulations were made F1 and F2. The F1 formulation contains less quantity of poly herbal ingredients than the F2 formulation. The developed formulation's effectiveness as a mosquito repellent was assessed. The Incense mosquito sticks were prepared by hand rolling method in research laboratory. The herbal ingredients used are the Holy basil, Neem, Rosemary, Camphor, Cinnamon bark, lemongrass oil. The Acacia used as a binder to roll the sticks and lemon grass oil used as flavoring agent. The prepared formulation F1 and F2 was evaluated its efficacy. The F2 formulation containing increased quantity of poly herbs so it shows better repellent activity than F1 formulation. So the uses of natural herbs in the formulation of mosquito repellent sticks are free from carcinogenic chemicals, cheaper, and easy to formulate.
本研究的目标是制作多种草药驱蚊香。研究人员制作了 F1 和 F2 两种配方。F1 配方的多草药成分含量低于 F2 配方。对所开发配方的驱蚊效果进行了评估。蚊香是在研究实验室用手搓法制作的。使用的草药成分包括圣罗勒、印度楝树、迷迭香、樟脑、肉桂皮和柠檬草油。相思树用作粘合剂来卷制蚊香，柠檬草油用作调味剂。对制备的配方 F1 和 F2 进行了药效评估。F2 配方含有更多的多香草，因此比 F1 配方显示出更好的驱虫活性。因此，使用天然草药配制驱蚊棒不含致癌化学物质，成本较低，而且易于配制。

Tinospora cordifolia (Guduchi) is a perennial and climbing shrub with succulent stems and papery bark found worldwide. The leaf extract has been shown to be effective in treating infections caused by B. subtilis, P. vulgaris, S. aureus, E. coli, and S. pyrogens. It also aids in the process of cell renewal and repair. Every year, approximately 10,000 tonnes of the plant are used to make herbal medicines. Among the main active substances identified from the plant are phenyl propanoid glycosides such as Syringin, Cordifolioside A, and Cordifolioside B, as well as the immunostimulatory molecule d-glucan. Tannins, alkaloids, carbohydrates, terpenoids, steroids, flavonoids, and phenols are some of the chemical components found in medicinal plants. In addition to their inherent therapeutic qualities, medicinal plants also offer natural disease prevention. As a result, in this comprehensive review study research, we are attempting to summarize, gather the number of plants, and their ethnopharmacological characteristics.

Middle class people who live in rural or urban areas often find it difficult to get modern health services, so they more often use traditional medicines obtained from herbal plants that grow around them. From the ancient Vedic era, green plants are being used for their medicinal properties to treat several diseases. Green plants represent a big source of bioactive compounds. Alpinia galanga (Linn.) of Zingiberaceae family is one amongst those medicinally important plants. Alpinia galanga plant is used in medicine and in food preparation. Rhizome extract of Alpinia galanga have high phenolic and flavonoid contents when compared to leaf extract. Because of elevated phenolic and flavonoid content in rhizome extract of Alpinia galanga there is noticeable antimicrobial as well as radical scavenging potential. It is a well-known official drug thought out the country as integrated contribution of nature. It is commonly used for the management of eczema, coryza, bronchitis, otitis interna, gastritis, ulcers, morbilli and cholera, pityriasis versicolor, to clear the mouth, emaciation. The different parts of the plant have various effects like antifungal, antiprotozoal, antiplatelet, antiviral, antidiabetic, immunomodulatory, antibacterial, anti-oxidant effects, hypolipidemic and many others. The current review add significant information about its, pharmacological activities, medicinal properties and phytochemical investigations as a traditional drug to cure for a number of diseases. Every fraction of the plant has valuable properties that can deliver humanity. The complete plant will be broadly investigated for further future prospective.

Carrot seed oil and carrot seed essential oil are distinctively different from one another. Carrot seed oil is pressed from wild carrot seeds, while carrot seed essential oil is steam-distilled and may come from either the seeds or the carrot itself. It has a unique aroma, but carrot seed oil may be found in many formulas dealing with skin conditions ranging from revitalizing and toning to eczema and can also be directly on the skin as another way to take advantage of its many benefits e. g. analgesic, androgenic, anti-Alzheimer, anorexic, anti-arcane, anti-aging anti-asthmatic activity. The present study has been taken up to establish the physical and phytochemical properties of carrot (Daucus carota L.) seeds and their oil which was extracted in the laboratory with the help of Soxhlet apparatus. The seeds were evaluated for successive extractive values, moisture content, crude protein, crude fiber, total ash, acid-insoluble ash, total carbohydrate, essential oil, mineral contents, and weight of 1000 seeds. Also, relative density, refractive index, free fatty acids, peroxide value, iodine value, saponification number, and unsaponifiable matter were determined in the seed oil. Other parameters studied, arefluorescence behaviour, qualitative and quantitative analysis of inorganic and phytoconstituents etc. Besides, thin layer chromatography of different solvent extracts of seeds and their oil was also reported in the present study. The fatty acids identified by gas chromatography were oleic (5.21%), linoleic (11.5%), palmitic (13.50%), and stearic (3.50%) acids. The yield of essential and crude oil from carrot seeds was established as 0.83% and 6.50% respectively.

The paper tries to discuss the mysterious extinction of the ancient herb known to the Romans as Silphium (Greek Silphion). It was assumed that the Silphium plants became lost in the first century AD. Moreover, evidence from the literature depicts the presence of Silphion plant up to the fifth century. Silphium in classical antiquity was used for being an aphrodisiac or as medicine. A myriad of medical properties attributed to Silphium, the most renowned use in ancient times was as a contraceptive, abortifacient, for menstrual disorders and as an emmenagogue that would expel the fetus. The valuable product was the resin. It was the indispensable article of trade from the ancient North African city of ‘Cyrene’, growing abundantly in a narrow coastal tract. It was so important a plant for the people of that locality that, most of their coins bore a picture of that plant. But unfortunately, the plant became extinct due to its over-exploitation, including over-harvesting and over-grazing, compounded by changes in the local climate.
