The tree is considered to be sacred by Hindus. Each of its part features a different use and different taste. Aegle marmelos is used to treat different diseases such as control Cholesterol, Control diabetes mellitus, manage cough and asthma, laxative effect etc. Extensive investigations have been carried out on different parts of Aegle marmelos and as a consequence, varied classes of compound viz., alkaloids, coumarins, terpenoids, fatty acids and amino acids are isolated from its different parts. This review discussed the medicinal uses to improve bael as a profitable cash crop.","PeriodicalId":21071,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87169563","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}

Results reveal that, in comparison to the control, the Cucumis melo aqueous fruit extract at two dose levels of 200 µg/ml and 400µg/ml significantly increases the zone of inhibition of microorganisms. Additionally, a very large zone of inhibition was seen at 400µg/ml dosage. The difference between the mean values of 200 and 400µg/ml was also encouraging.

Asia has a wide range of medicinal plants. The Gandoderma lucidum (langzhi) is a well-known plant among Asian populations and often utilised medicinal herbs. The main objective of this review is to document the therapeutic value of G. lucidum. Data was gathered by evaluating more than 70 articles from various web portals. The information gathered was analysed and provided in both descriptive and tabular formats. The outcome reveals that G. lucidum (Langzhi), a member of the Polyporaceae/Ganodermataceae family, is a well-known and widely utilised plant in Asia, used by practically all ethnic groups. Traditional and allopathic medicine both employ this herb. The \"Spore Separation Cultivation Method,\" developed in 1975 in China, is utilised to successfully produce Ganodermas; it is popular due to the country's favourable climate and soil conditions. G.lucidum has been utilised as a panacea for chronic diseases such as hepatopathy, nephritis, hypertension, arthritis, sleeplessness, bronchitis, asthma, diabetes, and cancer in eastern traditional medicine. Owing to its magical medicinal properties it was regarded as an elixir that could revive the dead. This review summarized important areas of investigation being performed on Gandoderma speciesaround the world, with particular emphasis on chemicals of biomedical relevance.","PeriodicalId":21071,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry","volume":"369 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76427864","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}

Renal stone disorder is a condition of crystal concretion that forms in the kidney. It is a growing urological health problem that affects approximately 12% of the global population. Stone generation is a sophisticated process that includes a number of physicochemical phenomena, such as supersaturation of urine, nucleation, growth of crystal, crystal aggregation and retention of urinary stone. An imbalance between substances that induce or inhibit urine crystallisation controls these stages. These facts show stone therapy and stone prevention. There is many misunderstanding regarding how to handle stones among both the general public and clinicians. As a result, review is to consolidate up-to-date knowledge on kidney stone origin, pathophysiology, and management strategies of each kind of kidney stone. The phytochemicals present in the extract contribute to the plant's antiurolithiatic abilities. Several kinds of phytochemicals such as Flavonoids, Polysaccharide, Saponin etc have a favourable effect in the antiurolithiatic impact against kidney crystals, or in terms of dissolving or inhibitory capabilities. However, there is a limited knowledge on nutritional and medicinal treatments for lithiasis and prevention.","PeriodicalId":21071,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75727798","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}

They can only provide brief comfort by suppressing and lowering joint pain, despite their significant adverse effects.. Alternative medicinal treatments for the treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis can be employed in a more holistic way to improve the sufferer's quality of life while also slowing the disease's progression. In the review paper, some of the approaches with antitraditional and ethnobotanical significance were explored, and an attempt was made to compile all conceivable plants with Anti-Rheumatoid Arthritis activity. These methods offer some hope in the treatment of RA. The experimental model for examining medication effects on RA has also been studied.
