This article addresses the basic concepts of herbal technology which is used worldwide. 21 st century is the century of Biology mechanical and propelled by scientific knowledge and hi-tech expertise. Herbal technology, are going to be the most influential elements that are fundamental for success and welfare for the people of nations. Information on the herbal technology was collected via electronic search (using pub med, scifinder, Google Scholar and web of science) and library search for articles published in peer-reviewed journals. Furthermore, information also was obtained from some local books on ethnopharmacology. Nutraceutical are food or part of the food that grant medical or health benefits together with the prevention or cure of the disease. Cosmaceuticals are the largest accumulation to the health trade and are described as cosmetic products with drug; they are the fastest increased segment in the skin care market. Biopesticides are cost effective, safer, readily available, and ecological and therefore more environment-friendly and will offer substitute to conventional pesticides. Herbal drugs represent a major contribute to all the formally recognized systems of health in India. An upward trend has been experimental in the research on herbals. Export-Import reports reveal that the global trade of herbal technology and plant originated products is around US $250 billion. In the present article, an attempt has been made to present an overview of the herbal technology in the international market and intends to throw in the knowledge about Herbal drugs, Nutraceuticals, Cosmaceuticals, and Biopesticides which comes under herbal technology.

“…Traditionally Aerva lanata also known as Pashanabheda is used as both antiurolithiatic and diuretic. [4][5][6][7][8] Researchers have studied different parts of Aerva lanata for various pharmacological activities such as antidiabetic, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, antimicrobial and cytotoxicity. 9,10 This herb is considered to be the next best alternative Pashanabheda by Ayurvedic practioners in India as it is widely available.…”

Background: Aerva lanata (L) Juss. Ex. Schult. (Amaranthaceae) commonly known as Pashanabheda is used traditionally in Indian system of medicines for various diseases including urolithiasis. Objective: Screening of bioactivity guided fractions of Aerva lanata (L) for antioxidant and antiurolithiatic potency. Materials and Method: The dried hydro alcoholic extract (10%) of the whole plant was fractionated with different organic solvents like dichloromethane (fraction I), ethyl acetate (fraction II), n-butanol (fraction III). Based on preliminary phytochemical tests, only two fractions (II and III) were tested for antioxidant efficacy by DPPH Radical Scavenging assay and antiurolitiathic potentials on male Wistar albino rats by administering ethylene glycol (0.75% v/v) by oral route. Urine and blood serum were collected from all the tested animals and analyzed for the presence of calcium, oxalate, magnesium, phosphate, and BUN. Both kidneys were isolated and subjected to histopathological study. Results: Antioxidant assay has revealed that the tested fractions were equally potent as that of the standard drugs (BHT and Vitamin C). The treatment with ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions significantly decreased the calcium, phosphate and BUN levels and increase in magnesium level in experimental rats (p<0.001). The urine analysis has also revealed significant (p<0.001) reduction in crystal size in the treated rats. Conclusion: The fractions (ethyl acetate and n-butanol) have shown significant antioxidant effect along with the Antiurolithiatic potency by reducing calculi through different pathways along with mild diuretic activity.

“…Moreover, the crude extract of bark exhibited antidiabetic [16], antidiarrhoeal [17], antifertility [18], and analgesic activity [19]. On the other hand, antidiarrhoeal, analgesic, and diuretic activities have proven for the leaves extract of this plant [20]. Interestingly, the root of this plant also showed many therapeutic activities, e.g., antibacterial, wound healing properties, and anthelmintic [21].…”

Aim: Crataeva nurvala (C. nurvala) is a medicinally active plant, potentially used as traditional means of treating many health ailments such as prostatitis, prostate enlargement, inflammatory conditions, heart disease, thyroid and endocrine disorder, and urinary tract infection, respectively, in the rural region of Tangail, Jamalpur, Sherpur, and Barishal district since primitive era. In our concurrent research, the bark of this plant was undertaken in order to justify its folkloric history of thrombolytic, membrane stabilizing activity in vitro model, and for the quantification of total phenol content. Methods: The concentrated methanol extract partitioned into different fractions showed different amount of yield like 18.2 g of petroleum ether, 13 g of carbon tetrachloride, 11.1 g of chloroform, and 9.9 g of aqueous, respectively, then all of the fractioned extracts were employed to investigate folkloric uses of thrombolytic and membrane stabilizing potential in vitro models. Results: In the extrapolation of thrombolytic assay, petroleum ether fractioned exhibit the highest percent of clot lysis (27.36% ± 0.10%) activity compared with other fractioned and extract. Crude methanolic extract profoundly inhibited the breakdown of erythrocytes membrane (65.79% ± 0.40%)-induced by hypnotic solution and heat. On the other hand, acetylsalicylic acid (reference standard) resulted in 83.147% ± 0.39% inhibition of clot lysis. Alternatively, aqueous soluble fraction exposed slightly higher level of membrane stabilizing activity provoked by heat-induced hemolysis (75.3 ± 0.39). Conclusions:The present study was investigated to confirm the medicinal value of C. nurvala bark as a thrombolytic and membrane stabilizing agent. ARTICLE HISTORY
