Plant foods are wasted especially in millets as they are not required in that particular product processing. From the cultivation of millet to its processing and consumption of the final product, a significant amount of waste is generated. Wasted foods are not spoilt foods and still have the potential to be used for the second time as food. But unfortunately, the fate of waste is always landfills which surely create a menace. By this we are throwing nutria rich foods on one hand and on the hidden hunger is on the rise. The challenge that lies in front is converting this waste into a nutria rich and nutraceutical food again/ specialty ingredient for functional foods or super foods but should ensure zero waste this time. Millet has gained momentum and rejuvenated in the recent past. Even then millets for its part is also contributing to waste generation that needs attention. (No of words...

The advancement and changes in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry are governed utilizing the interests of clients for biologically energetic elements obtained naturally in place of synthetic manufacture and resources. One such novel technique within the beauty enterprise is using marine life as a supply of active components like micro and macroalgae, sea corals, marine bacteria, and seaweeds as shown in within the manufacture of skin care products. Marine organisms are discovered in intense conditions or habitats and have evolved with positive beneficial homes that terrestrial organisms lack. Those traits include antioxidant, anti-wrinkling, rehydrating, skin lightening, beautifying, emollient, solar-screening, moisturizing, firming and supplying smooth texture, and shielding the pores and skin. This biodiversity from the oceans has shown amazing results and affected person compliance in the fields of cosmetology and pharmacy. Not only in cosmetics but marine based products obtained from the vast expanse of our oceans, covering 70 percent of the globe, has served as a cradle for human civilization. Thalassotherapy encompasses a diverse range of treatments, including...

Background: In dry and semi-arid regions of the world, Prosopis juliflora is one of the most significant tree species both commercially and environmentally. Leguminosae (Fabaceae) is the family to which Prosopis juliflora belongs. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the analgesic activity of methanolic extract of dried leaves of Prosopis juliflora Linn. Materials and Methods: In this investigation, adult male Wistar rats weighing between 100 and 150 grams were utilized. Prosopis juliflora Linn. methanolic extract was given orally to healthy albino rats at dosages of 300 and 500 mg/kg body weight in order to assess the acute analgesic efficacy using the tail flick technique. Result: The methanolic extract demonstrated a substantial and dose-dependent reduction in the reaction time on tail-flick throughout the course of the 60 minutes in acute trials. Turkey’s test was performed after one-way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis. Conclusion: Methanolic extract of Prosopis juliflora Linn. possesses analgesic activity in a dose-dependent manner in thermal induced...

Background: Cuvācakācam (SwasaKaasam) is one of the twelve types of Kācam in Siddha System of Medicine and is clinically correlated with Bronchial Asthma. Asthma is a Non-Communicable Disease that affects global health invariably by affecting all age groups with 5th global rank in terms of Daly’s. According to GBD, 13.09% of the population in India suffered from asthma and the prevalence in Puducherry was 8.6%. The present conventional anti-asthmatic drugs have several side effects, and the patient’s QoL is also compromised. Thus, it is imperative to explore alternative or complementary therapeutic techniques in view of adverse effects, out-of-pocket expenses, and patient compliance. Aim: The present study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Swasa Kudori Chooranam in Bronchial Asthma patients. Methods: This is a single-arm pilot study of 37 participants with a known history of Cuvācakācam (Bronchial asthma). Trial drug will be advocated for a period of 30 days as per the prescribed dose followed by baseline investigations. The outcome assessments included PFT, ACT, mMRC Dyspnoea Scale, AQLQ(S);...

The human microbiota, a complex assembly of microorganisms residing in various bodily niches, plays a critical role in health and disease. Historically, traditional medicine implicitly recognized the importance of the microbiota through the use of fermented foods and herbal remedies, which we now understand can influence the gut microbial composition and contribute to a robust immune system and improved metabolic processes. In the contemporary landscape, the role of microbiota has been significantly expanded by modern science. Advancements in genomic and bioinformatics tools have unraveled complex interactions between human health and microbiota, particularly in understanding the impact of modern pharmacological agents. Recent studies have highlighted the dual-edged effects of broad-spectrum antibiotics, which, while combating pathogens, also disrupt commensal microbial communities, potentially leading to dysbiosis and associated health conditions. Furthermore, emerging research into the gut-brain axis suggests profound implications of microbiota management in neurological disorders, signifying a shift towards microbiota-centered therapeutic strategies. This review traces the journey of microbiota research from its historical roots to its current innovations and potential future...
