Ancient time of human civilization, medicinal plants are utilized by humans for its therapeutic and medicinal property. Nature is great source of medicinal plants from thousands of year and so many drugs are now isolated and extracted from medicinal plants. Traditional medicine is affordable and easily accessible source for many treatment in the primary healthcare system to treat many poor communities in India and different countries. Currently the interest is to seek out Nutraceuticals from medicinal plants to avoid adverse effect of synthetic drugs and for economic purpose. India is great resource of medicinal herbs. Tinospora cordifolia is a extensively used shrub in Ayurveda systems of medicine all over India. Almost all of its part have medicinal property and used in traditional systems of medicine but Leaves, stem and roots are the most important parts which are used medicinally. Tinospora cordifolia is a versatile resource of medicinal plant used for many purpose in life. It belongs to family Menispermaceae. Recently the discovery and new research of active components from the Tinospora cordifolia and its biological function for disease controlling property has led to active interest in the plant across the globe.

Herbal medicine refers to the use of any plant's seeds, berries, roots, leaves, bark, or flowers for medicinal purposes. The objective of the study was to formulate and evaluate the antimicrobial herbal ointment from ethanolic extracts of leaves of Colocasia esculenta. The ointment base was created, and the ointment was made by using the levigation process to incorporate the extract into the base. It was assessed for physicochemical criteria such as colour, odour, pH, spreadability, extrudability, consistency, diffusion studies, solubility, and washability once the formulation was completed. The formulation was further tested for stability at various temperatures, revealing no differences in irritancy, spreadability.

A multi-locational evaluation trial of six white fleshed sweet potato genotypes was conducted in four locations during 2019 and 2020 cropping seasons. The objective of this study was to determine the magnitude of genotype by environment interaction (GEI) for storage root yield and yield-related traits of sweet potato genotypes and to assess the adaptability and stability of sweet potato genotypes in different production environments in southwest Ethiopia. Six genotypes were evaluated across eight diverse environments using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Data were collected on yield and yield components in all tested locations. The results showed highly significant difference (p<0.01) for genotype effect, environmental affect and environment by genotype interaction (GEI) for all the traits studied. The analysis also revealed that the magnitude of the mean square of environment was higher than those of the genotype and GEI for all the traits studied indicating the uniqueness of the tested environments. The genotypes Hawassa-83, and Tula were identified both high mean root yield and high stability, closest to the ideal genotype for root performance and consistency of performance across environments. This study provides valuable information that could be utilized in a breeding program to ameliorate genotypes of sweet potato in Ethiopia.

This study represents characterization of different metals present in Andrographis paniculata (a medicinal herb). The plant samples were collected from urban and rural areas of Khordha district, Odisha, India. The solid powdered samples from different parts of the plants were analyzed using various chemical and physical characterization techniques and all the data provides a clear description about the metal and mineral contents in the plant parts qualitatively and quantitatively as well. X-ray Fluorescence study was done to know the presence of different metals (including other elements) qualitatively. The collected samples were taken for ashing, followed by acid digestion and analyzed by AAS and ICP-OES (Pb, Cr, Mn, Co, Zn, Cu, Cr, V, Na, Ca, and Mg), FES (Ca, Na, and K) respectively. It has been found that leaves of the plants of both the regions are rich in Fe, Mg, Ca, K, Mn etc. In addition to these metals Pb, Cr, Co, Pd, and V also exists, but in low concentrations which have negligible impact on the medicinal characteristics of the plant (but are toxic). Structural characterization (FESEM) is under process.

Astilbe rivularis is a medically rich species belonging to the family Saxifragaceae. An herb that can grow up to 2.5 meters tall and has nearly 20 species in the genus, it is commonly and traditionally used as medicine in Nepal and the Eastern Himalayan regions of Darjeeling and Sikkim. Astilbe rivularis have been medically used in the treatment of swelling, spasm, gastric ulcer, diarrhea, and bleeding. Due to the presence of phytoconstituents like alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and coumarin, medical activity can be triggered and below a comprehensive review of its chemical constituents, ethnomedical use and pharmacological profit as a medical plant has been given. Separation of these compounds leads to the affirmation of particular biological activities like anti-inflammation, anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, and anti-peptic ulcer as that its potential use can be better evaluated.
