Abstract

Ethnomedicinal information that exists with individuals from diverse regions is rapidly dwindling owing to a lack of interest among the young in imbibing traditional information from elderly home herbal healers, which is their golden heritage. There are huge benefits of indigenous prescriptions and using medicinal herbs for the treatment of many ailments. Tribal people are ignorant of evidence-based research on herbs, which can assist to improve their knowledge worldwide with scientific backing. This research is an attempt to document essential medicinal plants utilized by indigenous people of Central and Eastern India to treat gynecological disorders. The information was acquired from a literature search in electronic databases such as PubMed, Google-Scholar, SpringerLink, Scopus, and Wiley up to 2023. About 80 plants have been listed which have been reported to be used for the treatment of different gynecological disorders by the indigenous people of Central and Eastern India to treat gynecological disorders. Additionally, several scientific studies supporting the usage of the plant have been also described with their mechanistic insights. Since drug discovery from medicinal plants continues to provide a new array and important leads against various pharmacological targets, an effort to collect medicinal plants and their associated traditional knowledge could serve as an important tool for the discovery of new potent compounds. The extremely intriguing findings for gynecological illness necessitate further investigation, while the efficacy of numerous traditional phytomedicines must be assessed for their pharmacological confirmation before they can be embraced universally for the benefit of humanity.

Abstract

A pivotal issue in world prehistory is determining whether population migration or cultural diffusion played a more crucial role in the dissemination of agriculture across various regions. An often neglected yet significant aspect of this debate is the examination of preserved crops and weeds from early agricultural societies. Research utilizing archaeobotanical data from diverse sites has revealed distinctive vegetation patterns linked to specific regions occupied by early populations. The findings suggest that a broad range of plant species at early agricultural sites were likely utilized for food, and there is no evidence of a reduction in plant food diversity as agriculture expanded. These observations provide valuable insights into the process of crop domestication, indicating a symbiotic relationship between humans and plants may have been instrumental in the advancement of agriculture. This review article underscores the presence of early agricultural sites across distinct domestication centre across Asia including Ohalo II, Jiahu, and Xinglonggou showing that early plant cultivation developed in varied ecological settings, often predating or extending beyond the conventional Neolithic timeline. The evidences provided are derived from existing excavation reports, and there remains the possibility that upcoming findings could extend these dates even more.
