Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Anciently plants are used for several acute and chronic diseases. Plants contains more than thousands secondary metabolites those are exhibit several potential pharmacological activity and lead compounds. Future investigation would lead to identification, purification of lead compounds from those plants. This investigation indicate the use of plants in combination or individual for remedies of several diseases like as chicken pox, bone fracture, orchitis, snake bite, jaundice, fever, typhoid, ear infection, skin diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, pain, poisonous insect bites, hepatitis B, whitish discharge from vagina, respiratory disorders, tooth infections, gonorrhea, passing of semen with urine, puerperal fever, cuts and wounds as well as uterine problems. All the plants used anciently are interest for further scientific studies to determine their efficacy in treatment some formulations reported for the treatment of diabetes, hepatitis B, cardiovascular disorders and gonorrhea deserve special research either because of the development of drug-resistant bacterial strains (like as gonorrhea), diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and hepatitis B are becoming endemic throughout the world for various reasons and modern medicine has no effective treatment for these ailments. This study would more effective in future for isolation, purification and development of new molecules for several acute and chronic diseases.

Program Area: Development of Host and Medicinal Plants

Commodity: Medicinal Plants

Objectives:

We know allopathic medicine is ‘modern’ and most superior from other types of medicine like as homeopathic. Most of the potential allopathic medicines are drive from plants and those were traditionally used in thousand centuries. Recent investigation indicates use of herbal medicines as a complementary or alternative medicine for the treatment of various diseases directly or indirectly.

The Hakim was told in details about the purpose of our survey, specially the need to document their information so that they do not get forgotten as well as particular consent obtained to publish their names and information provided in national and international journals. The Hakim agreed to being interviewed; in fact, information and consent was provided readily. Interview was conducted in Bengali, the language being spoken by both interviewers and Hakim with the help of a semi-structured questionnaire develop by field-walk method. All plant species were collected from sport; field dried and sends to the Bangladesh National Herbarium for identification of those plants. Still lots of Bangladeshi floral species unknown and those may added in fresh discoveries of new floral species from various parts of the country are being made on a fairly regular basis.

Achievement/Findings:

Traditionally various spices are potentially use as folk medicine in Bangladesh. Some plants used as dietary supplementary, foods flavoring agent, coloring agent and preservative from thousands of years. Numerous ancient texts reveal significance of these spices, cultivations, their uses, therapeutic effects, economical aspects and so on. All these plants contain several phytochemical constituents to cure from several diseases like chicken pox, bone fracture, orchitis, snake bite, jaundice, fever, typhoid, ear infection, skin diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, pain, poisonous insect bites, hepatitis B, whitish discharge from vagina, respiratory disorders, tooth infections, gonorrhea, passing of semen with urine, puerperal fever, cuts and wounds, as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hypolipidemic, anti diabetic, Chemopreventive, anti cancer, anti mutagenic, digestive stimulatory as well as uterine problems and so on. In the village people, they were used those plant by self or by folk medicine practitioner known as Hakim or Kaviraje. In this survey, all those plants were successfully used for the treatment of several acute and chronic diseases. Traditional studies elucidate that Bangladeshi plants represent vast resources for possible lead compound in drug development or as alternative medicine development. Future investigation will reveal more specific compounds, mechanism of action, isolation, purification of lead compounds.
