- Terminalia is a genus
of large trees of the flowering plant family, Combretaceae, comprising
around 100 species distributed in tropical regions of the world. This
genus gets it name from Latin terminus, referring to the fact that the
leaves appear at the very tips of the shoots.
- Trees of this genus are
known especially as a source of secondary metabolites, e.g. cyclic
triterpenes and their derivatives, flavonoids, tannins, and other
aromatics. Some of these substances have antifungal, antibacterial,
anti-cancer and hepatoprotective indications.
- Arjuna bark has been
used in Indian medicine for at least 3000 years as a remedy for heart
ailments. T.chebula also has been used by this culture as a digestive
aid. This species, referred to as "King of Medicine" by Tibetans, is
often depicted in the extended palm of Buddha.The E. officinalis/T.
chebula/T. belerica herbal combination product is said to have been
formulated by Ayurvedic physicians thousands of years ago .
- T. arjuna's traditional
use as a cardiotonic has been confirmed by tlodem research. It also has
been used as an aphrodisiac, diuretic, and for earaches. It may play a
role as an anti-atherogenic, and has reduced cholesterol. T. belerica
has been used in treating liver disorders and as a primary treatment for
digestive and respiratory (eg, cough, sore throat) problems. Other uses
include the following: as an astringent, laxative,lotion for sore
eyes,and retroviral reverse transcriptase inhibitory activity in murine
leukemia enzymes. T. chebula is used in Indian medicine to treat
digestive problems.
- Medicinal herbs have
been in use in one form or another, under indigenous systems of medicine
like Ayurveda,
Sidha and Unani. India, with its traditional
background, needs to increase its share in the world market. But unlike
China, India has not been able to capitalize on this herbal wealth by
promoting its use in the developed world, despite their renewed interest
in herbal medicines.
- Limba was one of the
first species commercially exploited in Congo. It declined in importance
- Some of the Leading
Ayurvedic Medicine Suppliers are Dabur India Ltd., Sri Baidyanath
Ayurvedic Bhawan Ltd., Zandu Pharmaceutical Works , The Himalaya Drug
Company, Charak Pharmaceuticals , Vicco Laboratories, The Emami Group,
Aimil Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
-
Exports of
Ayurvedic medicines have reached a value of 100 million dollars a year
(about 10% the value of the entire Ayurvedic industry in India). About
60% of this is crude herbs (to be manufactured into products outside
India), about 30% is finished product shipped abroad for direct sales to
consumers, and the remaining 10% is partially prepared products to be
finished in the foreign countries |
