Aegle marmelos, commonly known as Bael, is one of the most important medicinal plants of Indian tradition. All parts of the tree viz. leaf, fruit, bark and root have medicinal properties and have been used in many traditional medicine systems. The present study trial has been taken up at Horticultural College & Research Institute, Coimbatore to establish a protocol for in vitro germination of seeds to use it further for clonal propagation. The investigation revealed that the seeds without seed coat gave more number of multiple shoots (5.57) where as the seeds with seed coat gave single seedling. The days taken for germination was lesser in seeds without seed coat (14.76 days) than the the seeds with seed coat (20.59 days). The longest seedling was observed in the seeds with seed coat (2.09 cm) compared to that of seeds without seed coat (1.22 cm). the days taken for budbreak, number of shoots were higher in the MS medium supplemented with BAP 1.5 mgl-1. Comparison between the explants from in vitro and field grown seedlings showed that the time taken for culture response was much earlier in the in vitro derived seedlings. All the explants showed better response in the basal MS medium supplemented with BAP 1.5 mgl-1

As modern medical methods encounter difficulty in reaching the public and being expensive, traditional medicine methods are preferred to modern medical methods andti can be used more frequently in rural areas. Traditional methods can also be used for a variety of reasons although its scientific validity is discussed. There is a constant conflict between modern medicine and traditional medicine and they often coexist in spite of the fact that modern medicine usually does not approve traditional medicine. The nurse enhances the quality of care by taking into account the cultural characteristics of the individual and broadens the perspective of the nursing. It is the right approach for nurses to avoid conflict with the individual they care for in cultural practices, act together and guide them to develop a healthier lifestyle.Keywords: Traditional medicine, modern medicine, nurse

Despite new advances in modern medicine, the cultural use of plant in traditional medicine continues from ancient time to this day all over the world. The present research seeks to explore ethnomedicinal plants used by the local people of Nawalparasi district for primary healthcare. Local healers were interviewed regarding the detail uses of plants. When convenient a jungle or forest walk was also conducted, accompanying local healers for plant collection and detailed information gathering. A rich and unique diversity of 94 ethnomedicinal plant species belonging to 49 families under 86 genera were documented. In Nawalparasi, the expense of modern medical treatment combined with the poor economic status of indigenous people and a strong belief in the traditional medicine and traditional medical practitioners are the main reasons for the persistence of the traditional healing system. In addition, we have also documented a lack of continuation and flow of indigenous knowledge from the elders to the younger generation. Youth tend to be attracted by the wave of modernization and do not appreciate the importance of conservation of traditional knowledge. The use of plants in Nawalparasi is an old tradition and the exploration of such unique cultures should be completed thoroughly so that the oral traditions are not lost forever. Immediate conservation and management approaches of valuable medicinal plants with the involvement of local indigenous people of Nawalparasi district will encourage the sustainable conservation of both biological and cultural diversity.Key words: Traditional medicine; Local healers; Healthcare; Conservation; NawalparasiDOI: 10.3126/on.v7i1.2555Our Nature (2009) 7:82-99

Preliminary Study

<p>Medicinal plants have been a revolutionary breakthrough in the treatment of male sexual dysfunction. Traditional medicine based on a holistic philosophy is quite different with the practice of “western” medicine. Phytochemical substances focus their mechanisms of healing to the root of cause, i.e. the inability of controlling the proper function of the whole body system. Hence, medicinal plants manage sexual dysfunction and male fertility in the frame of sexual dysfunction as a whole entity. Some previous researches prove that the use of medicinal plants have a good impact in the treatment of a variety of male sexual problems. This paper will discuss several important aspects of aphrodisiac plants and preliminary study regarding them in Indonesia. Difficulties inherent to activity guided isolation and the specific requirements of bioassays are also discussed.</p>
