Background: Aloe vera has been used by mankind for thousands of years in folk medicine for its therapeutic properties. The rich phytochemistry of Aloe vera has revealed great potential for improving the performance of livestock and poultry. Mizoram lies in the Indo-Myanmar sub-tropical forest region and is a biodiversity hotspot with many endemic species. The well-heeled biodiversity provides enormous assets and sustainable contribution of medicinal plants and thus leads to frequent use of plants as medicine. Moreover, it was reported that the nutrient composition of the plant depends on the soil quality of the locality. Therefore, the study was carried out to evaluate the phytochemical and nutrient composition of Aloe vera in an agro-climatic condition of Mizoram. Methods: The physical characteristics of fresh Aloe vera leaf i.e. length, width, thickness, apparent volume, leaf weight, gel weight and percent gel recovery were evaluated by using standard protocols. The nutrient composition of Aloe vera leaf powder i.e. moisture, crude protein, ether extract, crude fibre, carbohydrate, total ash, energy level and minerals i.e. calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, selenium, magnesium and chromium contents were estimated by using standard methods. The extract of each powdered part of Aloe vera plants was used for phytochemical tests and to identify the constituents, standard procedures were carried out. Result: The physical characteristics of fresh Aloe vera leaf i.e. length, width, thickness, apparent volume, leaf weight, gel weight and percent gel recovery were 562.72±6.32 mm, 83.55±4.46 mm, 25.33±4.05 mm, 298.44±7.32 cm3, 340.28±6.32 g, 180.23±9.39 g, 55.66±1.07%, respectively. The nutrient composition of Aloe vera leaf powder i.e. moisture, crude protein, ether extract, crude fibre, carbohydrate, total ash, the energy level was 91.12%, 8.75%, 2.4%, 16.8%, 52.0%,12.5%, 238 kcal, respectively and minerals i.e. calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, selenium, magnesium and chromium content was 2532.0, 870.1, 41.8, 0.57, 40.1, 8310.0 and 4.5 ppm, respectively. Aqueous and ethanol extraction of Aloe vera confirmed the presence of steroids, alkaloids, glycosides, carbohydrates, tannins and tarpenoid. In conclusion, the physical properties of Aloe vera revealed that the weight of the Aloe vera correlates with the gel portion irrespective of the leaf volume. Apart from therapeutic uses of Aloe vera, it can also use for the synthesis of complex chemical substances.
This research is formulated on the basis of the Rheumatoid Arthritis of a niosome that contains leaf extract of the herb. Therefore, in this part along with the medication system of the herb on the body, the pharmacologic testing procedure is clarified. In the following part, we will explore a thorough assessment of the condition, called rheumatoid arthritis and how the medicinal plant is used as a release agent. While focusing on rheumatoid arthritis throughout the discussion, the research discussion section has made it clear how effectively this paper has tried to meet the formation of niosome with Moringa extract and its effectiveness to reduce the pain. Furthermore, the entire analysis has been illustrated by focusing on the effect of Moringa oleifera over rheumatoid arthritis disease.
The present study is performed with the purpose of evaluating the antioxidant nature of Moringa Oleifera leaves and the effectiveness of the leaf extract against the disease called Rheumatoid Arthritis. The disease is very chronic and it is a common disease. So the study is focused on the medicinal properties of Moringa Oleifera leaves, chemical composition of Moringa Oleifera leaves and seeds, the antioxidant nature of moringa leaves and its extracts, the effectiveness of moringa leaf extract against the Rheumatoid Arthritis disease, reason behind the effectiveness of moringa leaves and discussion and analysis of the result generated.
Background: Since primitive times, plants have been extensively utilized in conventional remedies for primary health care. It is observed that medicinal plants have various bioactive components. It becomes an alternative choice for synthetic medications to treat diarrhea and dysentery, which are the primary waterborne diseases with high mortality rates that bring substantial health threats to global populations. Objective: The present review aims to look over the ethnobotanical knowledge for the treatment of diarrhea and dysentery and folklore practices by the people prevailing in Assam. Methods: In this perspective, an extensive literature survey was carried out to understand the mechanism, control, and treatment of diarrhea and dysentery in different online academic databases and books. An advanced search was carried out in 'PubMed' and 'Google Scholar' using the term "Phytoconstituents" and "antidiarrheal" along with "Phytoconstituents" and "anti-amoebic". Results: Data retrieved from databases were analyzed and interpreted to conclude that in Assam, diarrhea and dysentery are the primary leading causes of mortality among children under five years. It is mainly due to the unhygienic livelihood, unavailability of safe drinking water, unhealthy food, seasonal rainfall, flood, and open defecation. The present investigations reveal that the people of Assam use 39 plant species belonging to 36 families to cure diarrhea and dysentery. Conclusion: The present study established the effective use of medicinal plants by various communities in Assam to treat diarrhea and dysentery. Furthermore, it can be used to develop a new therapeutic approach to create new chemical entities (NCE) in drug discovery, which are safe, fruitful, and inexpensive.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
