“…We also support the postulate with an interesting example; during the COVID pandemic, herbalists recommended different plant species including Senna alexandrina Mill, locally known as Sanna Maki, which was considered the most potential remedy [ 30 ]. The price of 100 grams of Senna alexandrina before the pandemic was 200 Pakistani Rupees (PKR), with a higher market demand; its price jumped from 200 to 1000 PKR [ 31 ].…”

In this debate article, we have tried to discuss Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and its close link to the available resources and lack of options in the indigenous communities. We came across the article of Hartel et al. where they initiated a discussion on this important but debatable topic of TEK and its merits and demirits for the environment. We believe that this discourse could continue to clarify both sides of the picture. Our research group is working on species facing extinction threats due to extensive utilization, leading to overexploitation of the taxa, which the TEK seldom cares for. We are of the opinion that the marginalized tribal communities living around the globe extensively use some of the species and natural resources for their food, fodder, fiber, shelter, energy, health and other benefits, irrespective of their conservation needs, and many other ecosystem services. They have to sustain their basic live’s needs from the resources available for their livelihood. They collect economically important medicinal and other species in large quantities to gain higher earnings, rather than thinking of the issues faced by them. Hence, we believe that the continuity and utilization of TEK are driven by poverty and lack of choices rather than positive environmental values, historically. Nevertheless, those communities sometimes have their local system of protection which sometimes works very well or otherwise with the passage of time and the formation of government-driven regulations in the recent past, TEK itself has lost its real sense especially, related to conservation and management. Therefore, TEK could be linked with existing research-based policies and regulations for long-lasting benefits to the environment and its sustainable future. Such bridging can benifit all the stake hoders—the TEK holders, regulatory bodies, government agencies and many more. This debate can lead to a positive and critical discourse towards the clarification of the conundrum under consideration as well as creation of more questions hyptheses related to TEK.

“…Lantana camara DPJ's antioxidant-rich profile suggests potential benefits in mitigating oxidative stress-related disorders (Nicoletti et al, 2020). Senna ariculata DPJ reaffirms its role in digestive health (Ikram et al, 2023). These findings underscore the potential of DPJ as a source of natural remedies and functional ingredients.…”

“…Despite the promising prospects, DPJ research faces certain challenges and limitations. Variations in plant species, growing conditions, and extraction methods can lead to variations in DPJ composition (Ikram et al, 2023). Ensuring standardization and quality control is essential for consistency and reproducibility (Liu et al, 2022).…”

Deproteinized Leaf Juice (DPJ) is a ground breaking innovation poised to unlock the latent potential within plant leaves, presenting a concentrated reservoir of bioactive compounds with diverse applications. The biochemical analysis of DPJ reveals a rich mosaic of bioactive compounds encompassing polyphenols, terpenoids, alkaloids, and sennosides. These compounds imbue DPJ with a potential pantheon of health benefits, ranging from antioxidant fortification and antiinflammatory support to immune enhancement and digestive health. These findings portend a future where DPJ serves as a versatile source of natural remedies and functional ingredients catering to a spectrum of health conditions. Beyond healthcare, DPJ extends its promise to agriculture as an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. While challenges such as compositional variability and the need for in-depth mechanistic elucidation remain. In present review paper we have compiled the information which explained the importance of Deproteinized Leaf Juice (DPJ).

“…The mill is commonly used as an anti-malarial product, methanol, camphor (monoterpenes) and farnesol (sesquiterpenoids) as well as arteremisin (sesquiterpenoids), which are the mill terpenoids. The World Health Association's control board in 1985 decided to establish this last drug as a cure for cerebral intestinal illness [10,11]. Microorganisms, pathogens and protozoa are active toward terpenes.…”

Plants have filled in as a significant wellspring of elements for conventional drugs for centuries. Verifiable records and present day ethno botanical field examines feature their significance in the conventional treatment of irresistible malady. Be that as it may, plants form just a minor level of present collection of FDA-endorsed antimicrobial medications. The present article gives an outline of active components of plants as hint for other wellspring of antimicrobial agents to be used in the battle against microscopic organisms. It additionally surveys the ethno botanical way to deal with sedate disclosure and talks about various inventive focuses for future medication revelation endeavours in this field. Without an uncertainty, antimicrobials are miracle tranquilizers. They have represented a very long time against different irresistible infections and spared a huge number of lives. The ongoing disappointment of antimicrobials because of the sensational rise of multidrug-safe microbes and fast spread of new diseases, be that as it may, prompts wellbeing associations and the pharmaceutical business worldwide to change their methodology and to expand improvement of antimicrobials against quickly rising anti-infection safe microorganisms. In spite of the fact that there is thinking about elective wellsprings of characteristic antimicrobial molecules from plants having different methods of activity, some of which have been utilized in regular medication for a considerable length of time and have appeared to have serious impacts contrasted with other antimicrobials. This examination portrays plant intensity as an elective hotspot for antimicrobial agents.
