“…Intestinal cleaning of babies Similar to the present findings, the hypotensive activity of H. indicum has been reported in many other studies, [45][46][47] including in vivo tests. Other properties of H. indicum include its antituberculosis activity using the essential oil from the aerial parts of the species [18].…”

The ethnobotanical utilization of five neglected herbaceous species, Argemone mexicana L., Heliotropium indicum L., Kedrostis foetidissima (Jacq.) Cogn., Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth and Schrankia leptocarpa DC. was investigated in Southern Benin to determine the ethnomedicinal and magic knowledge on them. Thirty-six herbal medicine traders were surveyed in six different markets in three districts. Four ethnobotanical indices were used. All informants traded A. mexicana and the majority traded H. indicum, K. foetidissima, and P. pellucida. Purchases in the traders’ own markets was the single most important source of H. indicum, A. mexicana and P. pellucida. A. mexicana was the most demanded by customers. Traders reported the scarcity of A. mexicana and H. indicum and the availability of S. leptocarpa, K. foetidissima and P. pellucida. H. indicum was mainly used to treat hypertension and fever. Similarly, S. leptocarpa was mostly mentioned in the treatment of hypertension and to facilitate childbirth. K. foetidissima mainly served religious and animist purposes. Similarly, P. pellucida was reported as being mainly used to implant a vodun, a traditional religion in West Africa. A. mexicana served to treat babies just after the umbilical cord fall as well as jaundice. S. leptocarpa and P. pellucida exhibited the highest Use Value (UV), and there was a very low similarity between study species in terms of uses. The majority of traders did not plant the study species, although they serve to treat various social conditions. We suggest a better management of H. indicum and S. leptocarpa through collection for trading and medicinal utilization while the planting is required for A. mexicana and P. pellucida because of their scarcity. K. foetidissima should be preserved and used as medicine wherever it occurs.

“…At (P˂ 0.05), significant differences were found. Limonene, α-pinene, α-terpineol, myrcene, linalool, α-terpinyl acetate, carvone and γ-terpene are members of terpenoids with a variety range of pharmacological benefits such as anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, antioxidants, muscle relaxants, sedative and immune-modulatory roles [22,23]. They are also responsible for the scent and flavor profiles of Carica papaya essential oil and also provide therapeutic benefits to the animal's body [24].…”

The purpose of this study was to look into how adding Carica papaya essential oil to the diets affects the blood chemistry of broiler chickens. An 8-week trial involved 400 one-day-old mixed-sex Ross 307 chicks. The birds were divided into 4 groups, each of which contained 100 birds with 5 replicates, each containing 20 birds. Treatments T1, T2, T3, and T4 received a basal diet of 100 mg, 200 mg, and 300 mg/kg, respectively, of Carica papaya essential oil in place of T1's basal diet. Ad libitum feed and clean water were provided. The findings showed that the treatments had no appreciable impact on pack cell volume, red blood cells, hemoglobin, white blood cells, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and neutrophils values in the starter and finisher phases. Carica papaya essential oil had no discernible effect on the levels of total protein, albumin, globulin, creatinine, aspartate transaminase, or alanine phosphatase, except for cholesterol levels, which were greater in T1 than in other treatments in both the starter and finisher phases. All readings, however, fall within the ideal ranges for healthy birds, indicating no signs of infection, inflammation, or metabolic disease. The research shows that Carica papaya essential oil has several bioactive components with therapeutic value and can be used up to 300 mg/kg of diet without having any negative effects on the birds' blood profile or general performance.

Oxalis corniculata Linn. is a highly useful and important traditionally used medicinal herbaceous plant which is found in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. The plant is commonly called creeping wood sorrel and it is belonging to the family Oxalidaceae. The plant has been used in different system of traditional medication for the treatment of diseases and ailments of human beings. The present review reveals the diverse ranges of phytomolecules which was previously isolated such as flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, steroids, polyphenols, glycosidic compounds, lipids and volatile oil. The leaves of the plant contain medicinal substances like isovitexine, flavonoids, and vitexine-2-O-beta-D-glucopyrunoside. It is a rich source of essential fatty acids like palmitic acid, oleic, linolenic and stearic acids. It possesses various important pharmacological activities like antioxidant, anti-cancer, anthelmintic, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, astringent, diuretic, febrifuge, cardio-relaxant and stomachic properties. These reports are very encouraging and indicated that the herb should be studied more details for its future therapeutic benefits. The current review article briefly describes the botanical features, ethnomedicinal uses, pharmacological properties and phytochemical composition of this medicinal herb. The present study is an attempt to combine and document the necessary information on different aspects of Oxalis corniculata and highlights the need for research and development.
