Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, presents a significant challenge for both patients and healthcare providers. This study explores the potential of natural compounds in Psoriasis management. Neem (Azadirachta indica) and Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) demonstrate notable anti-inflammatory effects, targeting the underlying inflammation associated with Psoriasis. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) contains curcumin, a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent, offering promise in modulating the aberrant immune responses observed in Psoriasis. Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) and Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) exhibit both anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, suggesting potential benefits in reducing redness, scaling, and secondary infections. Santalum album (Sandalwood) provides a calming effect on the skin, while Calendula (Calendula officinalis) offers anti-inflammatory support, promoting skin healing in Psoriasis lesions. Allium sativum (Garlic) and Thai ginger (Zingiber officinale) contribute allicin and gingerol, respectively, known for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial actions, complementing the management of Psoriasis symptoms. Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) and Mahonia aquifolium (Oregon Grape) exhibit immunomodulatory properties, potentially regulating the immune responses underlying Psoriasis pathogenesis. Although these natural compounds show promise as adjunctive...

Background: Caesalpinia bonduc (L.) Roxb. belonging to family Caesalpiniaceae, commonly known as ‘Kuberaksha’, is a large scandant shrub. The stem bark is useful as febrifuge, emmenagogue, anthelmintic, germicidal and anti-pyretic. Aim: The present study was conceived to standardize the stem bark of Caesalpinia bonduc to determine correct identity and purity of the drug have been undertaken besides in detection of adulteration. Materials and Methods: Pharmacognostical studies include (study of morphological characters), microscopical characters and powder microscopy and physicochemical parameters along with phytochemical, histochemical studies and fluorescence behavior were studied. Results: Transverse section of stem bark revealed the presence of outer most cork interspersed with stone cells, inner phelloderm cells with rhombic crystals and biseriate medullary rays. Tangential Longitudinal Section (T.L.S) revealed presence of uni to biseriate medullary rays, mostly biserate. Physicochemical standards showed that foreign organic matter (Nil), loss on drying (11.07%), total ash (5.45%), acid insoluble ash (0.45%), water soluble ash (1.45%), petroleum ether extractive (0.45%), chloroform (1.65%), ethanol (6.5% ), methanol (7.55%), water (11.65%). Preliminary phytochemical screening...

The Boswellia serrata word frankincense is derived from the Old French word frauk-encens and it means the true, authentic, pure, or “free lighting” incense. The specific name, serrata, comes from serra (a saw), referring to the toothed leaf margins. It belongs to family Burseraceae. This precious plant is mainly popular in dry mountainous regions of India, Northern Africa and Middle East. It mainly used as an herbal medicine for Brain damage, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, joint discomfort, bursitis (inflammation of the fluid-filled pads in the joints), and tendons swelling (tendonitis). Nowadays research also made that Boswellia serrata is used for cancer treatment as an anti-neoplastic agent. As it is used for breast cancer, pancreatic tumours etc. This review article provides information about phytotherapy by Boswellia serrata on cancer and its Pharmacognostic study in brief. Also have collective information about its essential chemical constituents like Boswellic acid, Pentacyclic triterpenes, β-boswellic acid, acetyl-β-boswellic acid, 11-keto-β-boswellic acid and acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid. Here we reviewed all Pharmacognostic properties like Morphology, Cultivation, Collection Harvesting Identification and...

Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) is a widely used spice around the world. It has also been explored for its biological properties and bioactive compounds. The significance and efficacy of black pepper and its bioactive compounds in insecticidal, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal infections are well-acknowledged throughout the world. The secondary metabolites of Piper nigrum L. are responsible for these activities. Piperine is one of the potent components in pest control due to its pungent smell. Eventually, efficient and optimal extraction methodologies are obligatory for the most competent functionalization of black pepper extract. Plausible reports are supporting its impact and application as a natural pesticide to control the pest abundance. The novel, environmentally benevolent natural pesticides are essential for pest control. In this review paper, we tried to summarize all potential, rapid, simple, feasible, and sustainable methods for black pepper extraction, isolation, and mode of action as a pest regulator. Lethal concentration, doses, and application time are the major regulating factors of a natural pesticide. Changes in the growth and developmental...

Syzygium cumini is a smooth and famous tree, about 8 to 15 meters high with white branchlets and reddish young shoots. Leaves are opposite, shiny and leathery, oblong-ovate to elliptic or obovate-elliptic, 6 to 12 centimeters long, the tip is broad and shortly pointed. In Unani, the kernel (Khasta-e-Jamun) is used for the treatment. A lot of pharmacological work has been scientifically carried out on various parts of Syzygium cumini but some other traditionally important therapeutically uses are also remaining to proof till now scientifically. It has astringent, carminative, stomachic, diuretic, antidiabetic, anti-diarrheal, anti-inflammatory, radioprotective, gastro-protective, antioxidant, anti-allergic, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, cardio-protective properties, etc. The various chemical constituents present in Seeds yield glycosides, a trace of pale yellow essential oil, fat, resin, albumin, chlorophyll, an alkaloid- jambosine, gallic acid, 1-galloylglucose, 3-galloylglucose, quercetin, and elements such as zinc, chromium, vanadium, potassium and...
