| Description |
Plants have traditionally served as man’s most important weapon against pathogen. Traditional medicine has been defined as the sum of the knowledge, skills and practices based on the theories, beliefs and experiences indigenous to different culture, whether explicable or not, used in the maintenance of health as well in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness [1]. In many developing countries, a large part of the population, especially in rural areas, depend mainly on traditional medicine for their primary
health care. Medicinal plants are widely used by all sections of community; whether directly as folk remedies or the medicaments of the different indigenous system as well as in modern medicine [2, 3] India has been identified as a major resourceful area in the traditional and alternative medicines globally. Medicinal plants constitute an important component of flora
and are wildly distributed in India. Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees is one of the
wildly distributed medicinal plants in India and using since ancient times in traditional ayurvedic systems of medicines. It can be found in a variety of habitats, e.g plains, hill slopes, wastelands, farms, dry or wet lands, sea sore and even in road sides. It is available abundantly in south eastern Asia, i.e., India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Indonesia. It is found in wild
through out of plains of India especially in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Andrographis peniculata, Kalmegh, of Ayurveda is an erect annual herb extremely bitter in taste in each and every part of the plant body. The plant is known in north-eastern India as ‘Maha-tita’, literally ‘King of bitters’ and also known by various other vernacular names. It is also known as ‘Bhui-neem’ since theplant, though much smaller in size and has bitter taste as that of Neem (Azadirachta indica).
