Nowadays, traditional medicine in the form of medicinal plants or herbs is widely used by the community. Treatment with plants that exist in nature and having relatively minor side effects can also be used for an extended period. The purpose of this review article is to seek information on the phytochemical content and pharmacological activity of keji beling plants (Strobilanthes crispus Bl.). This information was searched through the Google Scholar search engine in the last eleven years (2010 – 2021). The results of this information show that vile beling has a chemical content in the form of potassium, sodium, silicate acid, alkaloids, carbohydrates, phenolic, tannins, saponins, flavonoids, polyphenols, terpenoids, and steroids. Pharmacologically keji beling plants have antiurolithic, antidiabetic, antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiobesity, wound healing, anticancer, cytotoxic, and peptic ulcer effects. Thus, it can be concluded that the keji beling plant is one of the plants rich in phytochemical compounds scattered on the stems and leaves. In addition, this plant has benefits for treating a wide variety of diseases. Therefore, keji beling can be developed into potential plants as an herb for various conditions, especially stone urination and antidiabetic.

Background: Javanese long pepper (Piper retrofractum Vahl.) is a plant that commonly found in Southeast Asia and is empirically used to treat various diseases. It is known that the phytochemical content in plants is one factor responsible for its pharmacology activities. The study of the pharmacological effects of herbal ingredients both pre-clinically and clinically is an attempt to prove their empirical properties. Aims: This review article aims to provide information to academics and the public regarding phytochemical studies and pharmacological activity that have been carried out regarding the Javanese long pepper plant. Methods: Article preparation was carried out through literature studies from various national scientific journals, international journals, and online reference books. Javanese long pepper data search system was based on chemical content and pharmacological activity studies either in vitro, in vivo, or clinical trials. Results: Phytochemical studies have shown that the plant parts of Javanese long pepper contain compounds such as alkaloids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids, steroids, triterpenoid, and glycosides. Based on studies of its pharmacological activity, Javanese long pepper has been reported to have antimicrobial, antioxidant, cytotoxic, analgesic, androgenic, aphrodisiac, antihyperlipidemic, antihyperuricemic, lowering leukocyte count, antileishmanial and immunostimulant effects. Conclusion: The efficacy of Javanese long pepper has been scientifically proven to have pharmacological effects either through in vitro or clinical studies which can be taken into consideration for the development of traditional medicinal products. Keywords: Javanese Long Pepper, Piper retrofractum, Phytochemical, Pharmacology activity

Seevan Karma (suturing) is the closing method of surgical or traumatic wound and also last step of every operative procedure. Among these Seevan Karma of prime importance as appropriate suturing with specified thread and nee- dle leads to fast wound healing and minimized scar formation after surgery. Acharya Sushruta described the basic tents of experimental operative surgery for surgical training. The great need of such a training and describes the methods of experimental surgery using artificial objects (Non-living things) for learning the operative procedure like suturing2. In suturing or Seevan Karma using appropriate principals and instrument also describing the indica- tion, contraindication and method (Poorva Karma – preoperative procedure, Pradhan Karma- main procedure, Paschat Karma- post suturing procedure).

Plants are not only the source of food, oxygen, and shelter, but the same are also a potential foundation of medicines. Many natural and plant-derived antimicrobial and wound healing compounds have been recognized. In the present review, we have studied the main bioactive components of Acacia catechu with their medicinal roles. Most of these bioactive components are secondary metabolites which are produced by plants as side products of certain physiological reactions and are of no use for the plant itself. These components have been reported for their medicinal properties. In this review, we have mentioned some antibacterial, antifungal, and wound healing properties of A. catechu with its known bioactive components. The aim of this review article is, to enlist the possible potent bioactive components of the plant, against pathogenic microbes that can replace the use of chemicals and synthetic antibiotics for the treatment of skin infections and other diseases.

Acanthaceae is popularly known as acanthus family which belong to mint order – lamiales. They are distributed from tropics to a temperate region such as India, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Brazil, Central America and Africa. Most members of this family are therapeutically important since they are in the up to date usage by ethnic communities. Andrographis paniculata, Clinacanthus nutans, Graptophyllum pictum, Hemigraphis alternata, Justicia gendarussa and Strobilanthes Crispus are some of the medicinal plants of Acanthaceae family. These plants are recognized for their biopharmaceutical potential usage in traditional medicine. These plants have a plethora of phytochemical compounds such as flavonoids, phenolic compounds, glycosides, terpenoids, benzenoids, quinine, triterpenoids and naphthoquinone present in various parts of the plant that plays a vital role in drug industries. The pharmacological properties of these plants such as anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritis, hepatoprotective, anti-viral and anti-hypertensive are in general practice as an alternative and complementary medicine in both ethnobotanical and pharmacological fields. This article encompasses not only the comprehensive survey based on the electronic resources, scientific journals but also the books that summarize the botanical, phytochemical properties of these plants and also accentuate their significant role in both ethnobotanical and pharmacological fields.
