It is an autoimmune skin condition that is incurable, non-contagious, and relapsing-remitting. Typically, a remission phase lasts one to twelve months. Psoriasis is caused by a number of cellular mechanisms, and it has been hypothesised that T lymphocytes, keratinocytes, allergen cells, Langerhans cells, natural killer cells, phagocytes, a number of Th1-type chemokines, in addition to growth factors like endothelial proliferation factor and keratinocytes growth factor, among others, are key players in the development of psoriasis. Numerous synthetic medicinal drugs have been documented to have the side effects of psoriasis. Due to the safety and accessibility, herbal medications may hold promise as possible anti-psoriatic molecules. Before creating a potential herbal drug, it is important to thoroughly examine the key players in the evolution of psoriasis, such as T-cell stimulation, transportation, and cytokinase inhibition. The purpose of this review is to investigate how psoriasis spreads and becomes activated, as well as how certain medications might exacerbate the condition and how certain plant resources may be used to treat psoriasis. To create a potent, secure, and dependable treatment, more scientific research on these herbal resources is required.","PeriodicalId":11026,"journal":{"name":"Current Traditional Medicine","volume":"2023 109","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136132888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biologically active ingredients isolated from medicinal plants and extracts are receiving a lot of attention these days, partly because modern-day medication has a lot of side effects and somewhat because pathogenic microorganisms are becoming more resistant to antibiotics and many other treatments. Artemisia is the broadly dispersed genus of the family Asteraceae and encompasses almost five hundred species. Amongst these species, Artemisia absinthium L. is a familiar herb called Wormwood in English and Urdu, generally known as Afsanteen. In history, this species was recognized as important, and in old Europe, it was called “the most important master against all exhaustion”. A. absinthium has various benefits in treating pathological conditions such as gastric problems, fever, inflammation, and urinary disorders. The official European medicine uses A. absinthium in both allopathy and homeopathy. The herb was used to treat bladder diseases, anemia, helminthiasis, insomnia, fever, and trouble healing wounds and to treat gastrointestinal disorders in Asian and European traditional medicine. Mono and sesquiterpenes are the major pharmacologically active constituents of A. absinthium. Wormwood is a valuable resource of chemically new constituents and requires comprehensive screening approaches to emphasize the phytoconstituents and pharmacological actions at the molecular level. The core focus of this review is to provide complete information about the scientific evidence-based pharmacological activities, traditional uses, and phytoconstituents from A. absinthium. The collation of literature has been done by using references from main databases such as PubMed, Research gate, Scopes, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Chemical Abstracts, Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Databases, Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Abstracts, classical books, and pharmacopeias.","PeriodicalId":11026,"journal":{"name":"Current Traditional Medicine","volume":"11 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135315922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Biological Diversity Act, of 2002 was created in India to carry out the 1992 United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The CBD aims for a sustainable, equitable, and shared distribution of benefits resulting from the use of biological resources and traditional knowledge. With one of its goals being to encourage the cultivation of medicinal plants, the Biological Diversity (Amendment) Bill, 2021, which proposes to amend the Biological Diversity Act of 2002, has been adopted by the lower house (Lok Sabha) of the Indian parliament. Objective: The goal of the study is to examine how the amendment will affect the AYUSH sector, which also happens to be the source of India's traditional medicines. Results: A distinction between cultivated and wild medicinal plants has been made, with cultivated medicinal plants being excluded from the access and benefit-sharing (ABS) mechanism upon acquiring the certificate of origin. This can give rise to false claims by the traders and manufacturers that their medicinal plants are cultivated. According to the most recent modification, the majority of traditional knowledge employed in the AYUSH systems of medicine is codified. There's a potential that the majority of people who have traditional knowledge will not be eligible for the benefits. The other argument is that eliminating AYUSH practitioners, growing medicinal plants, and codifying traditional knowledge from access and benefit sharing, would promote foreign investment in the AYUSH sector. Conclusion: This amendment must, in practice, ensure that tribes and vulnerable people profit from the sale of medicinal forest products, and decriminalising certain clauses actually advances AYUSH, and simplifies business operations. Striking a balance between encouraging economic growth and maintaining the long-term preservation of India's biodiversity is necessary.","PeriodicalId":11026,"journal":{"name":"Current Traditional Medicine","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135618407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study of conventional medicine and the application of natural products for therapeutic reasons are known as ethno-pharmacology. This review explores various research on ayurvedic herbs, their doctrinal signature, and the status of our understanding of ethno-pharmacology. However, by integrating Āyurveda plants' doctrinal signatures with ethnopharmacological methods, it might be better to comprehend the therapeutic potential of plants and create novel treatments for a range of ailments. Combining these two perspectives might assist in understanding how nature may heal and how natural medicines could improve health and wellness.
