Bherali mad (Caryota urens L.) is the medicinal plant used by the folklores in most of regions of Maharashtra. It is also known as Surmad. Nuts of tree are popular by the name Ardhisupari means half betel nut. It is a long palm tree. Traditionally it has been used to make toddy and jaggery, so it is also called as toddy palm or jaggery palm. It is indigenous to India and Srilanka. It is found in moist forest of western and eastern coasts and cool, shady valley of Chota Nagpur, Orissa, West Bengal and Eastern India. It is now cultivated in Malaysia, Burma, Philippines and Indonesia. Frequently cultivated in gardens. Tribal areas in Maharashtra like Konkan and Bheemashakar used this plant for many purposes as making toddy, jaggery and also in disease conditions viz. burning sensation, arthritis, migrains, generalized weakness, thirst, fatigue, urinary disorders etc. Action of this if taken internally then nutritious, aphrodisiacs and laxative. Most likely it is used as an application of juice ( toddy) on forehead in hemicrania. A glass of freshly drawn toddy is taken in hemicrania. Nut made into paste and applied on forehead in hemicrania. Bherali mad ( Caryota urens L.) is Anukta dravya which has many medicinal properties, but it is an underutilized. Main aim of this paper is to explore medicinal properties and phytoconstitute of Bherali mad and drawn it to the mainstream so that we can use this medicine to the fullest extent and make it beneficial for people.

Aims: To investigate the effect of the methanolic extracts of Caryota no (CN) seeds negative geotaxis, fecundity and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) using Drosophila melanogaster (DM). Study Design: Experimental design. Place and Duration: Sample: African Centre of Excellence for Phytomedicine Research and Development, University of Jos, Jos Plateau State Nigeria between June 2018 and February 2019 Methodology: 50 flies were exposed in each vial to the following concentrations: 300 mg, 350 mg, 400 mg, 500 mg and 600 mg of methanolic extracts in 5 replicates for 7 days with daily recording of mortality. Total protein assays were carried out by Randox method from the supernatant from homogenized whole flies. In vivo antioxidant activity study was conducted by measuring level of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme activity from supernatants of whole fly homogenates using a spectrophotometer at specific wavelengths over a 2 minute duration. The values were derived as part of the total protein value. Negative geotaxis was done by the climbing assay and fecundity was examined by rate of emergence of larva after exposure of the flies to treatment. The statistical difference among test groups was presumed at P < .05. Results: The methanolic extract of CN caused nonsignificant (P = .33) decrease in total protein levels compared to the control. There were also nonsignificant decreases in AChE (P = .30) activity, negative geotactic (P = .80) behaviour and nonsignificant increase in fecundity (P = .17) in the methanolic extract-treated flies compared to the controls. Conclusion: It can therefore be concluded that the methanolic extract of Caryota no nonsignificantly improved fertitity and reduced negative geotaxis and AChE activity in DM.
