Compost tea used as organic fertilizer have beneficial effects on plants growth and is considered as a valuable soil amendment with disease suppressing activity. This study was conducted to determine the concentration of Compost tea from two sources organic manures necessary for growth performance of A. muricata seedlings. Compost tea from cow dung and horse dung were applied at different concentration rate (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 9 treatments each replicated seven (7) times. Parameters assessed were plant height, stem diameter and number of leaves of the seedlings. The data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and means were separated using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% level of significance. The result showed that there was no significant difference among the treatments at 5% probability level as T5 (cow dung 100%) had best performance plant height, stem diameter and number of leaves with mean of 11.25cm, 7.57cm and 7.00 at 10th week respectively. It can be concluded that undiluted...

Urolithiasis is the one of the old diseases in humans. Renal stones are a common problem worldwide, affecting all geographical regions with substantial morbidities and economic costs. The main aim of this article to review the recent research on urolithiasis to treat with medicinal plants that are present in India. In this article, review the recent prevalence data of urolithiasis in India. The study explores the efficacy and availability of the herbal treatment of urolithiasis. Plants are available in nature; safest mode of treatment and Cost-effectiveness may enable improvements in treatment efficiency that can benefit patients and the healthcare system. This study elaborates the recent research in treating urolithiasis with medicinal plants and their phytoleads. Compile research work’s in-vitro and in-vivo data and highlight their methods and results. The average life time risk of stone formation has been reported in the 5-10% range. Recurrent stone formation is a common part of the medical care of patients with stone diseases. Herbal medicine has several phytoleads and exert their pharmacological action...

Essential oils are largely employed for their therapeutic properties, and marketed extensively in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry. Geranium oil is a floral substitute for rose essential oil with its pungent rose-like odor and is one of the most valuable essential oils. Favorable quality properties make the geranium essential oil exigible for food industry applications. Our study aimed to assess the purity and quality of geranium oil available from various commercial producers. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique was used to detect and quantify the volatile constituents of geranium essential oil. 40 (fourty) volatile compounds were determined by the GC-MS method. The most abundant compounds were determined as geraniol (27.98%), citronellol (20.71%), isomenthone (6.57%), geranyl formate (6.52%) and linalool...

Many herbal remedies have been employed in various medical systems to treat and manage different diseases. Medicinal plants and their investigation of the phytoconstituents are much interested in today’s research. Herbal medicine uses medicinal plants for the prevention and treatment of diseases: it ranges from traditional and popular medicines in every country to the use of standardized and titrated herbal extracts. Generally, cultural rootedness enduring and widespread use in a Traditional Medical System may indicate safety, but not efficacy of treatments, especially in herbal medicine where tradition is almost completely based on remedies containing active principles at very low and ultra-low concentrations or relying on magical-energetic principles. Here, this study aims to evaluate the Pharmacognostic parameters and identify the Phytoconstituents. Hypericum oblongifolium (family: Guttiferae) is well known in India and is one of the most versatile medicinal plants having a wide spectrum of biological activity. It is a highly useful and traditionally used medicinal herbaceous plant found in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. The genus Hypericum consists...

Medicinal plants have been estimated as the richest holdings of traditional medicines and from these plants, many types of modern medicines were developed. Coscinium fenestratum (Gaertn.) Colebr. belongs to the family Menispermaceae and is considered a critically endangered medicinal plant. Traditionally it is used for antimicrobial agents, diabetes mellitus, cancer, and arthritis. In this study in-vitro pharmacological activities of leaf and stem extracts of C. fenestratum were evaluated. The solvent extracts were screened for antimicrobial activity against some clinically isolated bacterial and fungal cultures using the disc diffusion method. The antioxidant activity of extracts were tested by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. The acetone extract of stem showed potential antimicrobial activity than other extracts. All the pathogens were inhibited at very low concentration, very specific Klepsiella pneumoniae was inhibited at 0.156mg/mL and Phialophora verrucosa was inhibited at 0.078mg/mL of the stem extract. The methanol extracts of stem showed the highest antioxidant activity of 99.59%. followed by stem extracts of ethyl acetate (99.02%), acetone (98.79%), and petroleum ether(90.55%) were showed. Hence, the...
