    Pyllanthus Emblica Case Study

    It was present as a major constituent of nearly 12% of herbal formulations suggested by the locals for treating vitiligo. A number of earlier studies (Kaur et al., 2012) have also reported Ficus carica as phytoremedy for vitiligo. Ficus carica leaves are reported to have two photoactive furanocoumarins, Psoralen and bergapten (5–methoxypsoralen). Since the content of T–lymphocytes was reliably reduced in patients with vitiligo (the number of T–helpers was decreased and T–suppressors were increased), it is recommended to include immune–modulating drugs in complex therapy. Leaf extract of Ficus carica shows promising immune–stimulant properties (Patil et al., 2010), has comparatively higher levels of psoralens (Zaynoun et al., 1984; Ali et al., 2011; Alam et al., 2015) and hence can be effectively used in treating vitiligo (Chunyan et al.,…

    A perusal of the literature reveled that only fragmentary information was available on this plant species regarding pharmacognosy, phytochemistry and pharmacological activity by any other researchers. This study was designed first time for the identification, screening of pharmacological activities and isolation of unexplored compound inorder to establish its folklore claims. Plants are becoming potential source for phytoconstituents with varied pharmacological activities. Identification of such plants of potential use in medicine is of significance and as a prelude to this, it becomes necessary to examine the various pharmacognostical characters of the plant before further investigation. In pharmacognostical studies the macroscopy, microscopy, histochemical studies, physico-chemical constants and inorganic mineral analysis were carried out. Pharmacognostical standards obtained during the observation are valuable tools for the identification of the plant…

    Phytotherapy Essay

As a matter of fact, medicinal plants have played a major role in the well-being of the world population. However, there is a decline in the widespread application of phytotherapy, observed at the end of the first part of twentieth century.
