Millets are a group of small-seeded, grains that have gained renewed attention in recent years due to their high nutritional value and sustainable agricultural practices. This abstract provides an overview of millets, their processing methods, and their remarkable nutritional benefits, highlighting their potential to address global food and nutrition challenges. Millets have been cultivated for thousands of years, with a rich history of consumption in various cultures around the world. These drought-resistant crops are highly adaptable to diverse environmental conditions, making them an essential staple in many regions. Millets include varieties like finger millet, pearl millet, sorghum, foxtail millet, and more. The processing of millets involves cleaning, dehulling, milling, and can result in various products like flour, flakes, and ready-to-cook items. They are rich in essential nutrients, including fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and they are gluten-free. Millets are known for their low glycemic index and are also a good source of protein. Millets have gained recognition for their potential to combat malnutrition and food insecurity, particularly in developing countries....

Adhatoda vasica Nees, belonging to the Acanthaceae family and commonly referred to as vasa or vasaka, is a prominent herbal remedy within Ayurvedic, Unani, and Homeopathic medicine systems. Vasaka is widely distributed across India and tropical regions in Southeastern Asia. This plant is recognized for its rich reservoir of phytoconstituents, notably vitamin C and various alkaloids. Alkaloids such as adhatodine, vasicine, vasicinol, vasicinone, vasicinolone, vasicine, and vasicinone, vasicine and vasicine both are found abundantly in the leaves and roots of A. vasica. Other constituents which are found in plant are triterpenes, flavonoids, alkanes, steroids, daucosterol, and β-sitosterol. The pharmacological efficacy of A. vasica primarily stems from vasicine, vasicinol, and vasicinone, known for their robust bronchodilator properties. Extensive research has explored the diverse medicinal attributes of this plant, including its antiasthmatic, antitussive, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, antiulcer, uterotonic, and abortifacient...

Green Pharmacy represents a holistic approach to healthcare that emphasizes the importance of controlling the environmental contamination caused by pharmaceuticals. Also, Green Pharmacy prevents environmental contamination due to the API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) present in the medicines. Contamination of the environment by Active pharmaceutical ingredients can occur through various pathways, such as improper disposal, wastewater from pharmaceutical manufacturing industries, and even through excretion by patients. These contaminants adversely affect aquatic ecosystems and potentially impact human health if they enter the food chain supply by any means. Proper disposal and wastewater treatment are crucial to mitigate this environmental risk. This abstract explores the potential benefits of the Green Pharmacy, including reduced adverse effects, sustainability, and cultural preservation. It also addresses the challenges associated with standardization, quality control, and regulatory approval. Additionally, it also provides some new ideas about how to stop or prevent the uncontrolled contamination of API in the environment due to the improper disposal of drugs from pharmaceutical manufacturing industries, hospitals, and also from houses. The Green pharmacy...

Researchers’ interest in nanotechnology, and specifically nanoemulsions (NEs), has grown over time. NEs have a significant role in various sectors because of their droplet size is small and large surface area. The components, characteristics, creation, and applications are outlined in this review article. This article also discusses the benefits and drawbacks of nanoemulsion. High input energy and low input energy approaches can be utilized to create nanosized emulsions. High-pressure homogenization, microfluidization, and ultrasonic emulsification are all extensively discussed in high energy approaches. Low energy methods put an emphasis on Spontaneous Emulsification, Phase Inversion Composition (PIC), Phase Inversion Temperature (PIT), and D-phase Emulsification (DPE) techniques. The uses of NEs in the fields of medication delivery and cosmetics are discussed. The evaluation parameter and the future aspect of nanoemulsion are also discussed in this...
