The inhabitants
of Mizoram (Mizos) use several plants for their healthcare and our main
interest was to investigate the scientific basis of the medicinal use of these
plants.
Therefore, the root-stock of
Alocasia indica, mature leaves of certain plants including Biden
pillosa, Blumeopsis flava, Chromolaena odorata, Cissus discolor, Croton
caudatus, Elaeagnus caudata, Leucaena leucocephala, Passiflora edulis and
Spilanthes acmella, the latex of Carica papaya and rhizomes of Curcuma caesia
were dried and powdered.
The chloroform,
ethanolic and aqueous extracts of each plant was prepared and subjected to
phytochemical analysis and thin layer chromatography (TLC).
