“…Most of the therapies use extracts and active compounds of the medicinal plant (Craig, 1999). Currently, there is a rise in medicinal plant consumption in the world, due to the proven effectiveness of medicinal plants, in curing certain diseases and claims that shows it is safe to be used (Perez Gutierrez and Baez, 2009). Medicinal plants play a major role in medication since the beginning of human civilization and also contribute to the manufacturing of drugs these days (Rastogi et al, 2016).…”

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, and its rate of mortality is rising annually. In accordance with the current condition, studies on medicinal plants upon their activity on cardiovascular diseases are often being encouraged to be used in cardiovascular disease management, due to the availability of medicinal values in certain dedicated plants. This review was conducted based on two plant families, which are Asteraceae and Lamiaceae, to study on their action in cardiovascular disease relieving activities, to review the relationship between the phytochemistry of Asteraceae and Lamiaceae families and their effect on cardiovascular diseases, and to study their toxicology. The medicinal plants from these plant family groups are collected based on their effects on the mechanisms that affect the cardiovascular-related disease which are an antioxidant activity, anti-hyperlipidemic or hypocholesterolemia, vasorelaxant effect, antithrombotic action, and diuresis effect. In reference to various studies, the journals that conducted in vivo or in vitro experiments, which were used to prove the specific mechanisms, are included in this review. This is to ensure that the scientific value and the phytochemicals of the involved plants can be seen based on their activity. As a result, various plant species from both Asteraceae and Lamiaceae plant family have been identified and collected based on their study that has proven their effectiveness and uses in cardiovascular diseases. Most of the plants have an antioxidant effect, followed by anti-hyperlipidemia, vasorelaxant, antithrombotic, and diuretic effect from the most available to least available studies, respectively. These are the mechanisms that contribute to various cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attack, stroke, coronary heart disease, and hypertension. Further studies can be conducted on these plant species by identifying their ability and capability to be developed into a new drug or to be used as a medicinal plant in treating various cardiovascular diseases.

“…The practice of traditional medicinal plants is extensively spread in India, China, Japan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Thailand (Abdala et al 2012;Singh et al 2020). Presently, there is a hike in medicinal plant utilization in the world, due to the proven efficacy of medicinal plants, in healing several diseases and claims that show it is safe to be used (Perez Gutierrez and Baez 2009;Michel et al 2020). Many plant species have been recorded to exert pharmacological properties due to their phytoconstituents such as alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, steroids, tannins, and terpenoids (Paul et al 2015;Paul 2016;Paul and Sinha 2016).…”

Zephyranthes citrina Baker is a bulbous herb, commonly known as yellow rain lily belongs to the family Amaryllidaceae. It is a native of tropical and subtropical America but nowadays it is cultivated as a popular ornamental herb in several parts of the world including India. This herb represents one of the richest sources of phytochemicals, especially alkaloids and possesses great potential for pharmaceutical applications. It shows remarkable antiprotozoal, antimicrobial, anti-Alzheimer, cytotoxic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and dye removal activities. This review is an effort to give a detailed study of the literature on the biological activities of Zephyranthes citrina. This review concludes that Zephyranthes citrina has a great potential to treat various diseases and could be used as a source for novel healthcare products in the near future, which requires further experimentation.

Medicinal plants from Fam. Lamiaceae are characterized by the presence of compounds that have a high antioxidant activity. The quality of plant material depends on a complex of factors, which also includes harvesting. Applying especially to cultivated species, mechanized harvesting conditions the obtaining of profitable productions of medicinal plants. The paper presents the experimental results obtained in the tests of the Multifunctional equipment for harvesting medicinal and aromatic plants (experimental model) in the crops of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) Respectively Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis L.), both from the fam. Lamiaceae, made on small areas.
