Project Name : Plants are Rich Reservoirs of Phenols
Project Theme: Community Health & Environment
In our research we have found that the plants around us such as Delonixregia, Cassiafistula, Rosaindica, Tubernamontena, citronella, geranium and lavenderare rich reservoirs of phenols and essential oils which are beneficial to us but yet have not been commercially exploited. In our research we have extracted phenols and essential oils from the above mentioned plants and have worked upon the chemical constituents and properties of these phenols and essential oils. The researched proved that these phenols and essential oils are responsible for anti inflammatory, anti microbial, cell remediation, anti toxic, anti septic ,anti oxidant,anti ageing, wound healing and cooling effect of the plant.
Shikakai: the only herbal anti lice Since ages shikakai has only been used as a conditioner for our hair but after our research we can prove that it is the purely non toxic, non tortorous, and the only herbal antilice. We have also experimented for its anti lice property on a child and as a result, after application of shikakai, the lice was sedated.
Relation with Community Health and Environment: These phenols and essential oils can be used in the medical field as a treatment to fungal and viral skin infections. Also, these can be used in inhibiting the multiplication of infectious cells such as those of cancer and HIV.Further, if used as a dietary supplement, it can help in avoiding various neurological disorders such as Alzheimer disease.
