People use medicinal plants to treat skin ailments. This research sought to collect as much data as possible on the ethno-medical usage of plant species for various skin ailments. Jaccard index analysis highlighted any novel uses of medicinal plants from this region.
Ethnomedical data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with 16 informants between the ages of 30 and 80.
Medicinal Plants of Pakistan
Pakistan's medicinal plants boast a diverse selection of curative properties. Herbs like these are frequently used as an effective and safer alternative to synthetic medicines; many medicinal plants mentioned in the Quran may possess such medicinal qualities.
Researchers recently investigated the anticancer properties of Pakistani plant extracts, finding Vincetoxicum arnottianum and Berberis orthobotrys effectively inhibited cell growth in osteoblastic MG-63 and Saos-2 cells as well as luminal MCF-7 and invasive BT-20 breast cancer cells lines.
Ayurved treatment is one of the most prevalent herbal therapies in Pakistan. It is used for various ailments, such as skin diseases and burns. Unfortunately, due to an absence of regulation in this industry, quality has declined, especially with the sale of imported Ayurvedic products.
Ephedra Procera
Ephedra procera is an integral component of Pakistan herbal medicine, used to treat depression, anxiety and hysteria, among other neurological conditions. Furthermore, its leaves and roots can also be used to create decoctions to address respiratory and digestive disorders.
This plant is harvested from Northwest hills and forests, dried in the sun, ground into powder, and mixed with other herbs to serve as both antidepressant and stimulant medications. It is also used against bronchitis and aphthous ulcers.
Medicinal plants have long been an integral part of Pakistani culture and health. While their pharmacological potential has yet to be fully explored, more research is needed on new compounds with therapeutic applications that could enhance the effects of these medicinalithania coagulants.
Withania coagulants, commonly called Rishyagandha, is an established medicinal plant widely praised for its hepatoprotective and therapeutic qualities. A shrub belonging to the Solanaceae family, its leaves have long been utilized in treating digestive ailments, diabetes, liver disorders and cardiovascular issues. Packed with magnesium, calcium, potassium, t, tannins, and b-sterols, it boasts oestrous phytochemicals with numerous healing applications.
Properties in Several Areas
Studies have demonstrated that W. coagulants have beneficial properties in several areas, including hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antihyperglycemic properties. Furthermore, its benefits also include hypolipidaemia, cardioprotective, free radical scavenging, central nervous system depressant, and immunomodulating properties—its fruit is an excellent source of withanolides.
Numerous plants have long been utilized as herbal medicines due to their powerful medicinal effects. Medicinal plants offer a wealth of lead compounds that can be used in developing pharmaceutical drugs; additionally, they offer numerous therapeutic properties and are safe and cost-effective means of treating various conditions.
Hedera Nepalensis
Hedera nepalensis, commonly called Himalayan Ivy or Chang Chun Teng, is a perennial plant native to Nepal and Bhutan that grows from altitudes between 1000 and 3000 meters. As it climbs its way upwards, this perennial vine can be grown decoratively or medicinally to treat stomach ulcers and other digestive tract disorders.
Hedera Nepalensis leaf extracts were tested phytochemically and revealed an array of flavonoids, phenolic compounds, steroids and saponins, as well as tannins and rutins - two powerful free radical scavengers with strong free radical scavenging abilities - among their components.
This study assessed the rats' gastroprotective activity of Hedera Nepalensis crude extract and lupeol against diclofenac and ethanol-induced gastric ulcers. Results demonstrated that HNN and n-hexane fractions of Hedera nepalensis effectively prevented oxidative stress in alloxan-induced diabetic rats, significantly decreased blood glucose levels, and restored the activity of enzymes such as Alanine Transaminases, Aspartate Transaminases, Superoxide Dismutases, Superoxide Dismutases, Superoxide Dismutases, and Catalase Total Bilirubin.
Aster Thomsonii
Frikart developed Aster thomsonii in 1918 using two species native to dry environments: the Italian aster (Aster amellus) and the Himalayan aster (A. thomsonii). Monch is an outstanding example of this hybrid variety. Its long-season lavender-blue blooms feature broad, straight petals on self-supporting stems, ideal for large borders. Monch can grow to 3 feet in height.
As a medicinal plant, this herb can also help with various health conditions, including abdominal pain and vomiting. A decoction made from its roots may also treat irregular menstrual cycles or dysmenorrhea in women. Furthermore, its seeds have also been proven to assist those suffering from rheumatism or arthritis.
Preserving traditional medicinal plant uses is vitally important in Pakistan. Local communities possess extensive knowledge of medicinal plants. Thus, indigenous knowledge systems should be preserved to promote sustainable mountain community development in Pakistan.
Acer Oblongifolium
The Acer oblongifolium, or Flying Moth Maple, is an evergreen Asian species of maple in the Sapindaceae family that grows between 35 and 50 feet tall. This medium-sized tree stands out due to its unique appearance of ovate-lanceolate leaves with entire margins and petiolated segments; its dark green leaves remain this way year-round.
Conclusion
Borne from the mountainous forests of northern India, Nepal and Kashmir in Pakistan and southwestern China. The wood is close-grained and moderately challenging - perfect for agricultural implements and construction work - while making an attractive garden tree.
Hardy to USDA Zone 9, it prefers sunny locations but tolerates partial shade, preferring rich soil with good drainage. Alkaline soils must be avoided due to potential alkalinity issues, and cold, dry winter winds must also be avoided as much as possible for optimal growth. Armillaria root rot is another threat.
