“…There are no such side effects and, economically, the use of Ayurvedic plants. [367] This review paper thus highlights the in-vitro anthelmintic role of Bacopa monnieri in different pharmacological models. When their anthelmintic activity was conducted separately on adult Indian earth worms (Pheretima posthuman), Ghosh et al, concluded that the n-butanol fraction and ethanolic extract of Bacopa aerial parts were more potent than ethyl acetate and aqueous fractions, but the petroleum ether extract did not show anthelmintic activity when compared to the reference drugs piperazine citrate and albendazole.…”

Throughout history, complementary and alternative therapies have been widely utilised. In recent years, there has been a surge in interest in the usage of herbal treatments all around the world. Various natural chemicals, such as those produced from plants, have been investigated as potential therapies for a myriad of ailments. The essence of this review was to methodically describe everything we know about Bacopa monnieri (L.) Pennell, a mysterious holistic Vedic herb belonging to the Plantaginaceae family, a well-known nootropic and effective memory enhancer, which has recently emerged as one of the most important medical herbs, widely used therapeutically in the Orient and growing in popularity around the world. Literature was gathered from sources such as Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect, and reviewed using the Prisma quality metacritic paradigm. It is now plainly obvious that current therapies fall short of meeting the demands of the vast majority of individuals with health problems, and traditional medicines are gaining appeal as a result of their reduced toxicity. Bacopa is a traditional herb used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat brain and nerve weariness, as well as in Siddha medicine to treat impaired memory. It's also used to cure brain and nerve exhaustion in Unani medicine. We improved Brahmi micropropagation and secondary metabolite biosynthesis by compiling pharmacobotanical and pharmacognostical descriptions, as well as ethnoarchaeological data and nanotechnology domination. This critique also highlights our contemporary information of pharmacological activity, preclinical and clinical investigations, significant bioactives, reported mechanisms of action, clinical effectiveness, safety, and the potential for herb-drug interactions. At the same time, the current incarnation of research at the plant is reviewed, as well as future research possibilities. Brahmi offers a lot of potential for treating a range of illnesses, including neuro-pharmacological, depression, inflammation, hepatoprotective, antidiabetic, and others. According to the presumptions of this review, further clinical trials and research are needed. While the impact of Brahmi as an anxiolytic and antidepressant has to be explored further, its potential as an anti-epileptic therapy and a treatment for antiepileptic drugs side effects is also being researched. Furthermore, Brahmi's antioxidant ability may explain, at least in part, the antistress, immunomodulatory, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging benefits documented in experimental animals and clinical circumstances, necessitating further study into its other therapeutic characteristics.

Potentilla fulgens (Wall.) ex Hook (Rosaceae) is an alpine medicinal plant that is found in the Western Himalayas region and its whole parts are consumed all over the world as a potent source of therapeutic constituents. Traditionally this plant is frequently used by tribals and their various products are also uses by common peoples for caring for various diseases especially in pyorrhea. The various parts of P. fulgens and their different extracts have a variety of active phytochemicals such as polyphenol, triterpenoids, flavonoids, triterpenes, potentene-A (30-methyl-17α-hypan-12-ene-3 one), Potentene-B (3-O-β-D-gluconopyranosyl-(1,2)-β-D-gluconopyranosyl hopan-12-eno-11-oxo-28oic acid, novel bioflavonoid potifulgene (Epiafzelchin-6-O-8” epiafzelchin), and epicatechin compound. Pharmacologically the whole parts of P. fulgens are uses in the control of various critical and infectious diseases. This review of literature revealed that P. fulgens can be used as a potent source of antioxidants, anthelmintic, anticancerous, antihyperglycemic or hypoglycemic, antitumor, and molluscicides. It also propagates an approach towards new researches that how the various phytochemical of P. fulgens act at the molecular level in the organisms.
