A REVIEW ON ANTI-ULCEROGENIC PROPERTIES OF ORIGANUM VULGARE L. AND NELUMBO NUCIFERA: PHARMACOLOGICAL EVIDENCE AND MECHANISMS

Abstract

Traditional medicine has a long history in India.  India's Materia medica has a wealth of knowledge about traditional characteristics of therapeutically significant natural items as well as folklore practices.  Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani are some of the systems that form the foundation of Indian traditional medicine.  Chromatography, microscopy, and other instrumental procedures are among the phytochemical, pharmacological, and related approaches that are primarily used to evaluate these substances.  There is no denying the distinctiveness of these traditional Indian medical systems, but there is a commonality among them in their core beliefs and methods, as seen by the growing global interest in adopting and study the traditional systems and to adopt and study the traditional system and to exploit their potentials based on different healthcare systems. According to estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO), around 80% of people in underdeveloped nations get their main medical treatment nearly entirely from traditional medicine.  Medicinal plants are the foundation of traditional medicine and play a significant part in nearly all forms of traditional medicine.  Nearly all of the approximately 2000 natural medications found in Indian Materia Medica are derived from various ancient systems and folklore practices.  Four hundred of these traditional system-derived medications are generated from minerals and animals, while the remaining medications are sourced from vegetables.  The government and commercial sectors have worked hard to develop the traditional system based on these three approaches.
