Ayurvedic system of medicine is considered the most ancient system of the world. In the prehistoric times medicinal plants were used by the various tribes. Evidence suggests that the people of Indus valley civilization followed this system of medicines. The Vedic and post Vedic period saw the rapid development of Ayurveda supported by the efforts of Charaka, Susrutra and Vagbhata etc. Buddhist monks played important role in the propagation of Ayurveda. However, the invasion of Muslims after 10th century destroyed Ayurveda and Unani system of medicines flourished in the country. Pre independence period again saw the emergence of Ayurveda. After Independence it attains new height with its incorporation into the Drug and Cosmetic Act. The preparation of Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia helps in the standardization of Ayurvedic drugs to compete at global level with allopathic system of medicines.

The trend of "back to nature" is inseparable from the weakness of treatment using synthetic drugs. Some of them are the side effects caused by the high cost of synthetic medicine that is not friendly to people with low economic level, so knowledge about the use of medicinal plants is very important to be owned by the community. The condition of the people of Senggigi village after the Lombok earthquake in August 2018 was under reconstruction. The land that was used for breeding and maintenance of family medicinal plants (TOGA) was destroyed and damaged. Also, public knowledge about the types of TOGA and the use of plants in the environment around the house which has medicinal properties is also lacking. The solution offered to overcome this problem is to provide knowledge about the types of TOGA and its use for health in the form of counseling to the community. This counseling is done to improve the knowledge and skills of the Senggigi villagers in the use of TOGA for health. This activity is carried out with the delivery of material and discussion, as well as the direct practice of how to process TOGA into preparations that are ready for consumption. The counseling program went well and the people of Senggigi village were very enthusiastic in the discussion. This counseling can increase the knowledge of Senggigi villagers about the use of TOGA as a family treatment seen from the increase in the average post-test score against the pre-test score.

Promising sources of novel bioactive compounds include plants growing in several third-world countries where the local flora is still largely uninvestigated. A paradigmatic example is represented by medicinal plants growing in Myanmar, especially in Chin State, in northwestern Myanmar. This is one of the least developed areas of the country where the people still use natural remedies derived from a rich biodiversity. This review mainly covers the investigations done on phytochemical constituents and biological activities of 20 medicinal plants, namely Alangium chinense, Anemone obtusiloba, Anneslea fragrans, Antidesma bunius, Croton oblongifolius, Embelia tsjeriam-cottam, Ficus heterophylla, Gaultheria fragrantissima, Hydnocarpus kurzii, Leea macrophylla, Leucas cephalotes, Millingtonia hortensis, Myrica nagi, Olax scandens, Pimpinella heyneana, Pterospermum semisagittatum, Ruellia tuberosa, Smilax zeylanica, Stemona burkillii, and Tadehagi triquetrum, that have long been used in the Chin State for curing various diseases. These plants have been selected on the basis of their medicinal uses not only in Myanmar but also in the related Ayurvedic healing system. Moreover, besides their medicinal importance, most of them grow in the Chin State more abundantly than in other regions of Myanmar. Although the efficacy of some of these plants have been verified scientifically, the chemical constituents and biological activities of most of them still need to be investigated to confirm the claimed therapeutic effects.

Introduction: Numerous locally accessible plants in Nepal are left unseen. So, exploring their antioxidant activity for medicinal purposes can be beneficial in treating various diseases. Antioxidants have great importance in terms of reducing oxidative stress that causes damage to biological molecules. The qualitative analysis of chemical constituents using a chromatographic technique like TLC plays a pivotal role in this aspect. The present study aimed at performing chemical profiling using thin-layer chromatographic technique and evaluation of the antioxidant activity of selected medicinal plants. Methods: Firstly, TLC profiling of 70% methanolic extracts of eighteen medicinal plants was done using preparative TLC plate in two different ratio of chloroform, methanol and water. Then, antioxidant activity was tested by DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging assay by using a 96 well plate method at wavelength 510 nm in which Trolox was taken as standard. Results: Flavonoids, tannins, saccharides, and phenols were identified from TLC profiling. The yield value of Sapium insigne leaves extracts i.e. 20.52% was highest and Monochoria vaginalis leaves possess the least i.e. 3.93%. Solena heterophylla leaves extract with IC50 amount i.e. 21 µg/ml was found most potent among all the plant extracts. Conclusion: The results imply that the extract of ethnomedicinal plants is rich with a variety of phytochemicals, which can be used as natural antioxidants. However, further studies are warranted to isolate and identify the chemical and biological properties of obtained extracts for the provision of scientific evidence for traditional uses.
