Methods of textual analysis for ancient books and checklist methods were used in the study. A prominent representative of traditional Mongolian medicine, Toin Jambaldorj, wrote his book “Beautiful Wondrous Eye Ornament” between 1817 and 1823. He used dozens of Indian Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Tibetan medical works of that time to write this book. He also extensively used the Mongolians’ medical heritage. Therefore, this book is considered the most reliable book on pharmacognosy. Toin Jambaldorj's book “Beautiful Wondrous Eye Ornament” lists 9 herbal medicines used for cardiovascular diseases. The names of some herbal medicines are written in Mongolian, Chinese, Tibetan, Manchu, and Sanskrit, further evidence that the book was written in many languages and from many different sources&lt;/p&gt;

The following materials were used in the study. Including: Lamyn gegeen Luvsandanzanjantsan (1649-1704). “Man ngag bdud rtsi zegs ma.” Wooden printing block with Tibetan script. 2. Toin Jambaldorj (1792-1855). Gso byed bdud rtsi'i 'khrul med ngos 'dzin bzo rig me long du rnam par shar ba mdzes mtshar mig rgyan zhes bya ba bzhugs so. Wooden printing block with Tibetan script.&lt;strong&gt; Research Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Methods of textual analysis for ancient books and checklist methods were used in the study. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The most effective and most widely used drugs for the treatment of COVID-19 were Mana-4 and Norov-7 decoctions. The source of these two decoctions is Lamyn gegeen Luvsandanzanjantsan’s (1649-1704) book “Man ngag bdud rtsi zegs ma”. This book was one of the main textbooks at the Medical School established in Mongolia in 1685. The traditional medicinal indications and usages of the 7 medicinal crude drugs included in the composition of Mana-4 and Norov-7 decoctions were studied in detail in Toin Jambaldorj’s book “Beautiful Marvelous Eye Ornament.” Apart from these 7 medicinal crude drugs, 6 medicinal crude drugs have the effect of treating influenza and influenza-like illnesses according to modern medical theory. Therefore, it has been established that Mana- 4 and Norov-7 decoctions have the effect of treating infectious febrile disorders accompanied by cold chills and shivering, preliminary stages of influenza, and open up bodily pores and induce sweat.&lt;/p&gt;

Hermannia genus is a significant traditional herbal medicine. This review evaluates the medicinal uses, phytochemistry and pharmacological properties of plants from the genus Hermannia genus based on available research. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Studies accessed from online research databases were systematically selected and analysed to construct a comprehensive review of the medicinal uses, phytochemistry and pharmacological properties of plants from the genus. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Hermannia species are used in traditional medicine to treat or manage; respiratory conditions, gastrointestinal issues, skin conditions, sexually transmitted infections, and diabetes. Scientific findings also discovered promising pharmacological activities within members of the genus such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic and anticancer activities. To date, over 30 types of secondary metabolites have been identified from the genus, including the 2 pure compounds that were isolated and tested for pharmacological activities. Further research must prioritize other unexplored species of the genus and efficacy and mechanism of action studies on isolated compounds. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The genus Hermannia is important in the treatment of diseases of high public health concern. The pharmacological studies and presence of secondary metabolites and bioactive compounds further validates the traditional uses of the genus. Therefore, the findings suggest that the genus has species that may serve as candidates for novel drug discovery for the treatment of various illnesses. Efficacy and mechanism of action studies still need to be conducted on isolated compounds and other unexplored species of the genus.&lt;/p&gt;

However, there is no specific study conducted on &quot;stone arsenic&quot; based on ancient Mongolian medical books and manuscripts. Therefore, this study aims to collect and analyse information on arsenic recorded in ancient traditional medical scriptures and books written in Mongolian and Tibetan as early as the 19&lt;sup&gt;th &lt;/sup&gt;to late 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; centuries, with a focus on its medical applications and associated terminology. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The hermeneutic research method emphasises the interpretive analysis of ancient texts, communications, and their interrelations. Employing the hermeneutics method, we focused on interpreting the meanings within ancient medical texts and manuscripts, including the terminology of the sources selected for analysis. The checklist method was used to categorise and list the facts and information about arsenic in the study sources. The relevant components of the collected information and facts regarding arsenic and arsenic-containing mineral medicines were examined. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Several sources of traditional Mongolian medicine have mentioned the use of arsenic as a standalone substance. Additionally, there is limited information about its use in combination with other medications. During the research, it was discovered that an ancient manuscript mentioned its use as an active ingredient. This manuscript, a single-page scripture, is poorly written but contains rare information. The active ingredient of this medicine is arsenic, and the other four ingredients are sulphur native, sal ammoniac, realgar, and resin of the plant Shorea robusta. It is mixed with aged oil and applied to various wounds, and is regarded as one of the most effective remedies for all ulcers and wounds. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The research results revealed that there are several clear references to arsenic in ancient traditional Mongolian medical books and manuscripts written in Tibetan and Mongolian. The Tibetan name for arsenic is &lt;em&gt;rdo dug&lt;/em&gt;, the Mongolian name is khüntsel, and the Latin name is Arsenicum. The findings indicate that arsenic is incorporated into several traditional prescriptions and serves as an active component in certain medicinal formulations.&lt;/p&gt;

Therefore, this study aims to determine the antidiarrheal effect of &lt;em&gt;C. costata&lt;/em&gt; leaf extract and fractions&lt;em&gt; in vivo&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The antidiarrheal activity was evaluated against animal models of diarrhea induced by castor oil, charcoal meal, and entero-pooling test. The extract group received doses of 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg, while the fraction groups was treated with WFCC, EAFCC, and nHFCC, in doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg, respectively. The negative control received 10 mL/kg of the dissolving vehicle, while the positive was treated with loperamide 3 mg/kg.&lt;strong&gt; Results&lt;/strong&gt;: The results showed that EECC doses of 200 mg/kg, WFCC, and EAFCC at 50 and 100 mg/kg, respectively significantly delayed the onset of diarrhea, while WFCC and EAFCC at 100 mg/kg significantly reduced the amount of wet feces output and total feces output. In addition, only WFCC and EAFCC (at 50 and 100 mg/kg, respectively) significantly reduced the mean weight of wet feces and total feces. The percentage of maximum diarrhea inhibition was observed at the EAFCC dose of 100 mg/kg. Based on the charcoal meal test results, only EAFCC significantly inhibited the distance traveled by charcoal meal and reduced the peristaltic index at a dose of 100 mg/kg, while the percentage decrease in gastrointestinal motility was 46.87%. Similarly, in the entero-pooling test, WFCC and EAFCC significantly reduced the volume and weight of intestinal contents at a dose of 100 mg/kg, respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results confirm that the extract and fractions of &lt;em&gt;C. costata&lt;/em&gt; have antidiarrheal activity. Therefore, this study provides scientific support for the traditional use of &lt;em&gt;C. costata&lt;/em&gt; in treating diarrhea.&lt;/p&gt;

The aim of this study was to determine the medicinal plants used traditionally by patients with UL in the Kenitra and Sidi Kacem cities (Morocco). From January 2012 to February 2015, 50 herbalists and 166 patients with urolithiasis who live in the area under study were interviewed by using structured questionnaire. The following data were recorded: name of the patients or herbalists with their age, sex name of the plant (s) (vernacular name), parts used mode of preparation and administration. A total of 42 plant species belonging to 24 families, mostly from the Apiaceae (16.66%) &lt;em&gt;Lamiaceae&lt;/em&gt; (11.9%) were used to treat the UL in the area. All the plants were prepared by decoction which are taken orally for a period of one week. &lt;em&gt;Herniaria hirsuta &lt;/em&gt;(Hh) and &lt;em&gt;Ziziphus lotus &lt;/em&gt;(Zl) were repeatedly mentioned by the patients and herbalists as most used for the management of UL in this area. It’s concluded that the traditional remedies are the first line to treat the UL in this area. Hh and Zl were the most commonly used plants in this treatment which a study of antiurolithiatic characteristics seem to be necessary to evaluate its use in therapy.&lt;/p&gt;

The population that uses traditional medicine frequently resorts frequently to these women healers to treat digestive and respiratory diseases and the incessant crying. The population that uses traditional medicine resorts to these women healers to treat digestive (30% of population) and respiratory diseases and the incessant crying (24% of population). The floristic analysis of the adopted recipes has revealed 56 plant species divided into 35 botanical families. The most used families are Lamiaceae (12,5%) and Apiaceae (10,71%). the leaves constitute the part more used 32.26% followed by the seeds 22.58%, the infusion is the mode of preparation most used by 35% and the dose is generally by pinch, spoonful or by handful These results show that the women healers have a very important place in the health service, especially they have a very interesting knowledge of the treatment of digestive and respiratory disorders and especially of the effects attributed to sorcery. The plants identified in this study could constitute a data base for further research in the field of phytochemistry and pharmacology.&lt;/p&gt;

The present review aimed to compile relevant information on medicinal plants traditionally used to manage urogenital diseases in Ethiopia. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Different literatures published specifically on ethnobotanical use of medicinal plants in scientific journals, books, theses and proceedings were reviewed. Data from literatures were analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) Version 20 and an Excel spreadsheet and reported using descriptive statistics, frequency, and percentage. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: A total of 146 medicinal plants are reported in the reviewed literature. It was distributed in 127 genera and 64 families.&lt;em&gt; Cucurbitaceae&lt;/em&gt; (7.51%), Asteriaceae (7.51%), &lt;em&gt;Euphorbaceae&lt;/em&gt; (6.20%) and &lt;em&gt;Apiaceae &lt;/em&gt;(4.80%) were family’s accounts of high number of species. A higher diversity of medicinal plants was reported from Southern nations and nationalities (44.5%), Oromia (41.1%) and Amhara (27.4%) regional states. The most frequently reported growth form of medicinal plants indicated in the review was herbs (46.8%), followed by shrubs (32.6%). Root (36.2%) and leaves (35.3%) were the most used parts. Decoction (26.1%), concoction (16.5%) and pounding (11.9%) were the most frequently reported remedy preparation methods and were administered orally.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The present review indicated that urogenital diseases were managed with different medicinal plants throughout the regions of Ethiopian needed scientifically confirmed in order to produce safe and effective drugs from natural products.&lt;/p&gt;

Data collected was analyzed using quantitative indices such as the Fidelity Level (FL) and Informant Consensus Factor (FIC). &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The results revealed 70 medicinal species belonging to 38 botanical families, among which, five families were the most commonly used by the local population, especially the families Lamiaceae and Asteraceae. In term of species, the highest frequencies of medicinal use were shown respectively by &lt;em&gt;Tetraclinis articulata&lt;/em&gt; (Vahl) Mast. (6.49%), &lt;em&gt;Pistacia lentiscus&lt;/em&gt; L. (6.11%), &lt;em&gt;Myrtus communis&lt;/em&gt; L. (5.34%) and &lt;em&gt;Thymus vulgaris&lt;/em&gt; L. (4.96%). Among the various parts of the plant, leaves were the most used part and decoction was the most frequent form of use. Finally, the gastro-intestinal system disorders were the most treated diseases with a percentage of 28.24%. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This first ethnobotanical study conducted in the region of Bissa revealed a very rich local knowledge in term of traditional herbal medicine; this fact was reflected by the high diversity of species used in the treatment of several diseases. In light of this, it is therefore very important to subject some of the major species to further phytochemical and pharmacological studies in order to validate their traditional use and to probably discover new bioactive molecules.&lt;/p&gt;

The plant parts used for medicinal purposes, preparations, mode of administration of these medicinal plants were determined. The most important species based on use values and informant consensus factors were also calculated.&lt;strong&gt; Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; A total of 26 informants were interviewed regarding the plants they utilize for medicinal purposes. Free and prior informed consents were obtained from the informants. Taxonomic identification was done in the Botany Division of the National Museum of the Philippines. Informant consensus factor (FIC) and use values (UV) were also calculated. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Ayta communities listed a total of 118 plant species classified into 49 families used as herbal medicines. The Family &lt;em&gt;Fabaceae&lt;/em&gt; was the most represented plant family with 11 species. Leaves were the most used plant part (43%). Majority of medicinal preparations were taken orally (57%). It was found that &lt;em&gt;Psidium guajava L.&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Lunasia amara&lt;/em&gt; Blanco were the most commonly used medicinal plants in the three communities with the use value of 0.814. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This documentation provides a catalog of useful plants of the Ayta and serves as a physical record of their culture for the education of future Ayta generations.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">859</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ourlad Alzeus G.

Communi s&lt;/em&gt;berry is a high antioxidant fruit which is used in several traditional medicinal systems to treat a variety of diseases including rheumatism, arthritis and gout&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;This study was undertaken to examine the inhibitory activity of &lt;em&gt;J. communis&lt;/em&gt; berry extracts on the growth of several bacteria associated with autoimmune inflammatory disease, and to test their ability to block CaCo&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and HeLa cancer cell proliferation. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;J. Communis &lt;/em&gt;solvent extracts were preparedusing solvents of varying polarity. The extracts were investigated by disc diffusion assay for the ability to inhibit the growth of a panel of pathogenic bacteria associated with autoimmune inflammatory diseases. Their MIC values were determined to quantify and compare their efficacies. Inhibitory activity against CaCo&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and HeLa human carcinoma cell lines was evaluated using an MTS colorimetric cell proliferation assay. Toxicity was determined using the &lt;em&gt;Artemia franciscana&lt;/em&gt; nauplii bioassay. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The methanol, water and ethyl acetate &lt;em&gt;J. communis&lt;/em&gt; berry extracts displayed moderate to potent growth inhibitory activity against bacterial triggers of rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and multiple sclerosis. The methanol and water extracts displayed the broadest specificity, inhibiting the growth of all bacteria tested. The ethyl acetate extract also displayed antibacterial activity, inhibiting the growth of 9 of the 13 bacterial strains (69%). The ethyl acetate extract displayed the greatest potency, with MIC values substantially below 2000 &amp;micro;g/mL for all bacteria which it inhibited. It was most effective at inhibiting the growth of &lt;em&gt;P. mirabilis&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;P. vulgaris&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;S. aureus&lt;/em&gt;, each with MIC&amp;rsquo;s &amp;le; 500 &amp;micro;g/mL. The methanol and water extracts also proved effective at blocking the proliferation of the colorectal cancer cell line CaCo&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and HeLa cervical cancer cell growth, with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values in the 1300-2500 &amp;micro;g/mL range. All extracts were non-toxic in the &lt;em&gt;Artemia&lt;/em&gt; nauplii bioassay. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The lack of toxicity of the &lt;em&gt;J. Communis &lt;/em&gt;berry extracts and their potent growth inhibitory bioactivity against bacteria and HeLa and CaCo&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; carcinoma cells indicates their potential in the treatment and prevention of selected autoimmune inflammatory diseases and some cancers.&lt;/p&gt;
