  The majestic baobab tree is an icon of the African continent and lies at the heart of many traditional African remedies and folklore. The baobab is a prehistoric species which predates both mankind and the splitting of the continents over 200 million years ago. Native to the African savannah where the climate is extremely dry and arid, it is a symbol of life and positivity in a landscape where little else can thrive.  Over time, the Baobab has adapted to its environment. It is a succulent, which means that during the rainy season it absorbs and stores water in its vast trunk, enabling it to produce a  nutrients dense fruit in the dry season when all around is dry and arid. This is how it became known as "The Tree of Life". Baobab trees grow in 32 African countries. They can live for up to 5,000 years, reach up to 30 metres high and up to an enormous 50 metres in circumference. Baobab trees can provide shelter, food and water for animals and humans, which is why many sav...

  ANTICANCER ACTIVITY Semen is a complex substance created by the male reproductive organs. The fluid is made mostly of water, plasma, and mucus (a lubricating substance). It also contains 5 to 25 calories and is made up of small amounts of essential nutrients including: Citrate Protiens Zinc Calcium Magnesium Potassium AntiCancerActivity Animals  A total of 60, 6–7-week-old, Swiss albino mice (weight range, 25–30 g) of both genders (Samtako Bio Korea, Osan, Korea), were divided into six groups, each consisting of 12 animals, and were used to assess biological activity. Animals were maintained in an air-conditioned room at a temperature of 22±1°C and a humidity of 55±1% with a 12 h light/dark cycle. They were fed a standard commercial rodent pellet diet (Samtako Bio Korea), and had ad libitum access to water. The animals were allowed to acclimate to the environment for seven days prior to the experimental session. All animal experiments ...

  Introduction Parkinson’s disease (PD) is pathologically described by the continued loss of dopaminergic neuronal cells in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), which results in motor impairments such as loss of motion, postural and gait instability, resting tremors, and muscle rigidity. Accumulating evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid peroxidation, brain aging, and genetic susceptibility, which often involve oxidative stress and neuroinflammatory changes, play a major part in the pathogenesis of PD. Oxidative stress and inflammation are the two central pathways in microglial cells activation that lead to progressive neuronal degeneration and represent an important therapeutic target in PD. The activation and release of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNFα, along with free radical generation including reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), has detrimental effects on the existence of dopaminergic neurons...

  Mangifera indica  (family Anacardiaceae), commonly known as mango, is a pharmacologically, ethnomedically, and phytochemically diverse plant. Various parts of  M. indica  tree have been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of different ailments, and a number of bioactive phytochemical constituents of  M. indica  have been reported, namely, polyphenols, terpenes, sterols, carotenoids, vitamins, and amino acids, and so forth. Several studies have proven the pharmacological potential of different parts of mango trees such as leaves, bark, fruit peel and flesh, roots, and flowers as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, anthelmintic, gastroprotective, hepatoprotective, immunomodulatory, antiplasmodial, and antihyperlipemic. In the present review, a comprehensive study on ethnopharmacological applications, pharmacological activities, and bioactive compounds of  M. indica  has been described. T...

  Ficus Benghalensis Also known as banyan fig or Indian banyan, the banyan tree is an unusually shaped tree that belongs to the family of mulberry. The botanical name of banyan tree is Ficus benghalensis. This tree does belong to the genus Ficus that comprises other species, like F. macrocarpa, F. pertusa, F. citrifolia, F. elastic, etc. Banyan tree acquires a height of 100 feet or 30 meters and spreads laterally open-endedly. The branches of this tree give rise to aerial roots that again take roots for becoming new trunks when they touch the soil. At times, a banyan tree assumes the look of a dense thicket due to the tangling of trunks and roots.  Benefits of a Banyan Tree Some remarkable benefits of a banyan tree for our health are as follows: A banyan tree treats diarrhoea – People suffering from diarrhoea can take small budding leaves from the banyan tree to soak them in water. It forms a sturdy astringent agent which is excellent to heal gas, diarrhoea, irritat...

  Gentically modified organisms (GMOs) can be defined as organisms (i.e. plants, animals or microorganisms) in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination. IT DECREASES THE POTENCY OF HERBAL MEDICINE AND MAY CAUSE TOXIC EFFECTS Unexpected effects and health risks posed by genetic engineering? 1. Toxicity 2. Allergic Reactions 3. Antibiotic Resistance 4. Immuno-suppression 5. Cancer 6. Loss of Nutrition India is out of the top five countries producing the most GM foods in terms of crop area after the United States (US), Brazil, Argentina & Canada. According to a 2018 study released by the Centre for Science & Environment (CSE), 21 out of 65 food samples tested from Delhi, Gujarat and Punjab were found GM positive.
