ABSTRACT
Herbal medicines are natural products and their phytoconstitutents vary depending on time and region, processing and storage. Variations in the collection, processing or storage of an herb could impact its efficacy profile. Since prior knowledge regarding appropriate collection and usage of most medicinal plants exists in tradition, it can be used as a guide to quality standardization. The present study is aimed to carry out research work to evaluate Pharmacognostic investigation on Root & Leaf extract of Abutilon indicum. From the literature study it is found that a very little work is done on root & leaf part of plant for setting standardization limits. So, our aim is to find out again various standardization limits according WHO guideline like macroscopic & microscopic study, to find out LOD, ash values, extractive values etc. for root & leaf part of drug with a view to control the quality of crude drug.
ABSTRACT
The present article reveals the pharmacogstic study of Moringa concanensis Nimmo. This plant species belongs to the family Moringaceae. In the view of its medicinal importance and taxonomic confusion, pharmacognostic studies, morphological characteristics, and microscopic studies was carried out to supplement the necessary information for the systematic identification and authentication of this plant, as per WHO guidelines. With this aspect, pharmacognostic investigations of the plant were carried out and reported. This study may help in acceptable identification of this plant among several species for future references.
