The paper enumerates medicinal plants used by Irula tribes Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu. The traditional practises of three medicinal plants belonging to three families are obtainable with botanical name, family, local name, parts used, method of groundwork and ethno pharmaceutical uses. Medicinal plants were the richest source of India with many traditional uses. Numerous of the pharmacological and pharmacognostical studies of the medicinal plants shown their active application in the field of medicine as they possess certain nutrient and non-nutrient substances that protects and precludes the body from many diseases. They attain a great helpfulness in the present world due to the side effects of the manmade drugs on the human life. Dodonaea viscosa Linn. is an evergreen woody perennial shrub with a native of Australia, indigenous and was later wide spread throughout the region of tropics. Various plant parts such as stem, leaves, seeds, roots, bark and aerial parts were used as the antibacterial, analgesic antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer and antioxidant agent in traditional system of medicine.

Opis:
Poverty is the major restraint of people to modern medicine in the developing world. This brought about therapeutic usage of medicinal plants which can be traced back to history as different cultures utilize plants and plant products from ancient time for preventing and treating of diseases. These People in the developing countries or rural areas solely depend on traditional medicine for their primary health care, in which they majorly use plants or their active principles. Upsurge resistance of avian viruses to commercial drugs is both developed and developing countries problem which imposed a search for new avian antiviral substances from other sources like medicinal plants. This led to the discovery of Cucumis metuliferus E. Mey. ex Naudin fruit which has been verified by local farmers and scientific researchers to cure various diseases and conditions including avian viruses like Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV), Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV), avian influenza and Hepatitis B Virus.

Opis:
Dementia, the plague of the aging populations, is highly prevalent in East Asia, with currently over 9,8 million dementia patients. Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, awaits for more detailed research in terms of understanding patomechanism of the disease, but more importantly, in supporting the treatment of this incurable disease in modern medicine. Therefore, alternative therapies assisting traditional therapeutic options become more popular, with the comeback of traditional medications, such as Traditional Japnese Medicine (TJM) - Kampo. The aim of this study was to present the use and effectiveness of TJM in treatment of symptoms of AD. Among articles in PubMed Medline database in years 2008-2018, 8 articles were selected for further analysis. Most of the research (38%) consisted of observational studies using different neuropsychiatric scales and methods of assessment of dementia. Studies presented significant improvements of behavioral symptoms with additional therapy with Yokukansan, Orengedoku-to, Ninjin’yoeito and other Kampo formulas in AD patients. Reviewed research presents effectiveness of Kampo treatment in supporting of cognitive and behavioral symptoms reduction, as well as protection of beta-amyloid induced toxicity. However, more research involving bigger cohorts is needed in order to confirm results on the larger scale, in order to introduce the beneficial aspects of Kampo in AD populations worldwide.

Opis:
This paper discusses beliefs associated with human spiritual elements (often called “souls”) held by the indigenous Nahua from Sierra Zongolica, Mexico. Spiritual elements, such as tonalli, nawalli, and yolotl form part of a complex of correlated and often overlapping concepts. Such semantic intricacy related to the notion of a spiritual element is not just a local peculiarity of Sierra Zongolica. It appears in ethnographic data concerning other Nahuatl speaking areas, as well as in early colonial sources. Th erefore, the case of Nahua beliefs constitutes a challenge to monosemantic, unambiguous defi nitions of Mesoamerican indigenous concepts of human spiritual elements, as presented by many anthropologists and ethnohistorians.

Opis:
Traditional and Western medicine are both commonplace in South Africa, and are often consulted in conjunction with each other. The article aims to fill critical knowledge gaps in understanding how women as caregivers decide on medication when experiencing illness in the home. In order to achieve valid and rich in-depth understanding about the types of medicine that individuals opt for, a narrative study was conducted. The research participants are women from Bloemfontein’s townships. Analysis of the participants’ narratives suggests that there are social-economic, traditional, and cultural trajectories associated with negotiating medical treatment. The findings indicate that the context in which individuals give meaning to, diagnose, and treat illness influences their remedial choices. Accordingly, many individuals constantly shift between different types of remedies, as they believe that they yield different, but unique possibilities and solutions.

As the “innervated universe” of our body, the brain, holds the secrets determining humanity, over centuries there was a huge necessity to understand its complexity and ongoing processes. Surgical interventions for neurological diseases entered their Enlightenment Era with Modern Neurosurgery principles, works of Harvey Cushing and Ernest Sachs. Despite over two centuries of extensive research in various neuroscientific aspects, neurological conditions still await for innovative treatment options. Modern medical world complements Western medicine with traditional therapeutic options known and passed from generations to generations, with one of the most broad and oldest traditions - Traditional Chinese Medicine. The aim of this study is to present the use and effectiveness of acupuncture in treatment and rehabilitation of neurosurgical conditions. Therefore substantial articles on use of acupuncture in neurosurgery have been analyzed. Among 184 articles in PubMed Medline database from years 2008-2018, 9 articles were selected for further analysis. Most of the studies focused on reduction of need of general anesthesia in neurosurgical cases and also on influence on anti-inflamatory and immunological reactions. Another group of research investigated acupuncture as supportive therapy for thalamic hemorrhage and cerebral vasospasm post-SAH. Studies complemented and compared treatment of specific symptoms in neurosurgical conditions, such as post operative nausea and vomiting, anxiety. Reviewed research presents improvements in usage of acupuncture for neurosurgical conditions. Hopefully with introduction of quality standards of acupuncture research, as well as increased interest of medical and patient environments in supportive therapies, the scientific based proofs of acupuncture effectiveness will provide assistance in treatment of neurosurgical conditions.

Ayurvedic medicines are considered to be the best systems of treatment in India and this system is spreading now globally. Natural products are also a part of our everyday life. Ethno veterinary medicine is developed by farmers in field and barns rather than and in scientific laboratories. It is less systematic, less formalized and usually transferred by word of mouth rather than writing. An ethnobotanical survey was conducted in 10 selected sites of Villupuram district. Twenty six plant species belonging to fourteen families were documented in the present study, to cure different diseases in animals. Interviews and detailed personal discussions were conducted with the traditional healers and local people to identify the plants and their medicinal information for six months. The study revealed that the different parts of these plants were used for treatment of different diseases. Leaves are the mostly used part to prepare medicine.

Opis:
Out of 750,000 known plants in the world, a major part are medicinal and aromatic plants – a source of raw material for folk and documented systems of medicines worldwide. The folk and documented medicine in India use about 6,000 plants, although, less than 50 species have been scientifically studied and cultivated to any sizeable extent. The main factor behind the slow pace of domestication of medicinal plants is the absence of knowledge on cultivation practices and lack of suitable technology. About 90% of the medicinal plants for trade are harvested from the wild and the demand for traditional medicinal plants is increasing rapidly. Continuous exploitation of several medicinal plant species from the wild has resulted in their population decline. Hence, an effective strategy is needed for their sustainable utilization and conservation. Cultivation is the most effective way of conservation. Cultivation can also ensure production of standardized raw materials. Thereby, enhances the quality of the manufactured products. The methods and techniques of modern chemical agriculture cannot be adopted for the cultivation of medicinal plants as they should be free from harmful residues. Pesticides and other harmful chemicals have been detected in some herbal products. Hence, to ensure a safe, residue-free and reliable material for use in herbal drug industry, there is an urgent need to adopt strategies for cultivation of medicinal plants that are consistent with principles of good agricultural practices.
Spośród 750 000 znanych roślin na świecie większość stanowią rośliny aromatyczne i lecznicze – źródło surowca dla medycyny ludowej i naukowej na całym świecie. W medycynie ludowej i naukowej w Indiach używa się około 6000 roślin, chociaż opracowano naukowo i uprawia się na mierzalną skalę mniej niż 50 z nich. Głównym powodem wolnego tempa udomowiania roślin leczniczych jest brak wiedzy na temat sposobów uprawy i brak przydatnej technologii. Około 90% roślin leczniczych przeznaczonych na sprzedaż otrzymuje się ze stanowisk naturalnych i popyt na tradycyjne rośliny lecznicze gwałtownie wzrasta. Nieustanna eksploatacja niektórych gatunków w miejscach ich naturalnego występowania spowodowała zmniejszenie ich populacji. Potrzeba zatem efektywnej strategii ich zrównoważonego użycia i ochrony. Najbardziej efektywną metodą ochrony jest uprawa. Uprawa może także zapewnić produkcję wystandaryzowanego surowca, zatem podnosi także jakość produktu przetworzonego. Metody i technologia nowoczesnego rolnictwa z użyciem środków chemicznych nie mogą być zastosowane w uprawie roślin leczniczych, ponieważ powinny one być pozbawione szkodliwych substancji. W niektórych produktach ziołowych wykryto pestycydy i inne szkodliwe substancje chemiczne. Zatem, by zapewnić bezpieczny, wolny od dodatków innych szkodliwych substancji chemicznych surowiec dla produkcji leków ziołowych, istnieje paląca potrzeba wdrożenia sposobów uprawy roślin leczniczych spójnych z zasadami dobrej praktyki rolniczej.
