About ,Scientific name, growth Allium sativum, commonly known as garlic, is a species in the onion genus, Allium. Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, chive, and rakkyo. With a history of human use of over 7,000 years, garlic is native to central Asia,and has long been a staple in the Mediterranean region, as well as a frequent seasoning in Asia, Africa, and Europe. It was known to Ancient Egyptians, and has been used for both culinary and medicinal purposes.

USES High blood pressure. Some research shows that garlic can reduce blood pressure in people with high blood

pressure by as much as 7% or 8%. It also seems to lower blood pressure in people with normal blood pressure. Most studies have used a specific garlic powder product (Kwai, from Lichtwer Pharma). Colon cancer, rectal cancer, and stomach cancer. Eating garlic seems to reduce the risk of developing these cancers. However, garlic supplements don’t seem to offer the same benefit. Tick bites. Scientists have compared the number of tick bites in people who take high doses of garlic compared to people who do not take garlic. High doses of dietary garlic, over about a five-month period, seem to reduce the number of tick bites. Fungal infections of the skin (including ringworm, jock itch and athlete’s foot). Ringworm and jock itch respond to treatment with a garlic gel containing 0.6% ajoene (a chemical in garlic) that is applied to the skin. A garlic gel with a higher concentration of ajoene (1%) is needed to be

effective against athlete’s foot. In fact, garlic gel with 1% ajoene seems to be about as effective against athlete’s foot as the medicine Lamisil.

1.) GARLIC

Garlic is LIKELY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth. Garlic can cause bad breath, a burning sensation in the mouth or stomach, heartburn, gas, nausea, vomiting, body odor, and diarrhea. These side effects are often worse with raw garlic. Garlic may also increase the risk of bleeding. There have been reports of bleeding after surgery in people who have taken garlic. Asthma has been reported in people working with garlic, and other allergic reactions are possible.When used on the skin, garlic is POSSIBLY UNSAFE. Using as a thick paste (poultice), garlic can cause damage to the skin that is similar to a burn.

Special Precautions & Warnings: Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Garlic is LIKELY SAFE in pregnancy when taken in

the amounts normally found in food. Garlic is POSSIBLY UNSAFEwhen used in medicinal amounts in pregnancy and breast-feeding. There isn’t enough reliable information about the safety of using garlic on the skin if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side, and avoid use.Children: Garlic is POSSIBLY SAFE when taken by mouth and appropriately for a short-term in children. But garlic is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken by mouth in large doses. Some sources suggest that high doses of garlic could be dangerous or even fatal to children; however, the reason for this warning is not known. There are no case reports available of significant adverse events or mortality in children associated with taking garlic by mouth.Bleeding disorder: Garlic, especially fresh garlic, might increase bleeding.Stomach or digestion problems: Garlic can irritate the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Use with caution if you have stomach or digestion problems.Surgery: Garlic might prolong bleeding. Stop taking garlic at least two weeks before a scheduled surgery.

2.) ACAI PALM ABOUT, SCIENTIFIC NAME,

GROWTH :- The açaí palm  (Euterpe oleracea)

is a species of palm tree in the genus Euterpe cultivated for their fruit and superior hearts of palm. Its name comes from the Portuguese adaptation of the Tupian word ïwaca'i, '[fruit that] cries or expels water'. Global demand for the fruit has expanded rapidly in recent years, and açaí is now cultivated for that purpose primarily. Euterpe edulis (juçara) is a closely related species which is now the primary source of hearts of palm. 

Eight species are native to Central and South America, from Belize southward to Brazil and Peru, growing mainly in swamps and floodplains. Açaí palms are tall, slender palms growing upwards of 25+ meters (82 feet), with pinnate leaves up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) long.

USES :-Apart from the use of its fruit as food or beverage, the açaí palm has other commercial uses. Leaves may be made into hats, mats, baskets, brooms and roof thatch for homes, and trunk wood, resistant to pests, for building construction. Tree trunks may be processed to yield minerals. The palm heart is widely exploited as a delicacy. Comprising 80% of the fruit mass, açaí seeds may be ground for livestock food or as a component of organic soil for plants. Planted seeds are used for new palm tree stock, which, under the right growing conditions, can require months to form seedlings. The seeds are a source of polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids. Orally administered açaí has been tested as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging of the gastrointestinal system Its anthocyanins have also been characterized for stability as a natural food coloring agent.

Dietary supplement In 2004, it became popular to consume açaí as a supplement due in

part to the rapid success of multi-level marketing company MonaVie that sells an açaí blend tonic for $40 a bottle. Another reason is the proliferation of various açaí supplement companies that misused celebrity names like Oprah Winfrey andRachael Ray to promote açaí weight loss pills online.

Marketers of these products make unfounded claims that açaí and its antioxidant qualities provide a variety of health benefits, none of which has scientific confirmation to date. False claims include reversal of diabetes and other chronic illnesses, as well as expanding size of the penis and increasing men's sexual virility. As of April 2012, there are no scientifically controlled studies providing proof of any health benefits from consuming açaí. No açaí products have been evaluated by the FDA, and their efficacy is doubtful. Specifically, there is no scientific evidence that açaí consumption affects body weight, promotes weight loss or has any positive health effect.

According to the Washington, D.C. based Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) thousands of consumers have had trouble stopping recurrent charges on their credit cards when they cancel free trials of açai-based products. Even some web sites purporting to warn about açai-related scams are themselves perpetrating scams.

In late 2008, lawyers for The Oprah Winfrey Show began investigating statements from supplement manufacturers who alleged that frequent Oprah guest Dr.Mehmet Oz had recommended their product or açai in general for weight loss.

One laboratory study found that commercially available açaí powder added to the diet of fruit flies lengthened their lives when challenged by chemical or geneticoxidative stress. Dietary açaí also restored the flies' circadian rhythm disturbed by the herbicide paraquat.

3.) Astragalus

ABOUT, SCIENTIFIC NAME, GROWTH

Astragalusis a large genus of about 3,000 species of herbs and small shrubs, belonging to the legume family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. The scientific name of astragalus is Astragalus glycyphyllos .The genus is native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Common names include milk-vetch (most species), locoweed (in western US, some species; although most locoweeds are not genus Astragalus but in related genera) and goat's-thorn (A. gummifer, A. tragacanthus). Some pale-flowered vetches are similar in appearance, but vetches are more vine-like.

USES Extracts of Astragalus membranaceus

 (syn. Astragalus propinquus) are marketed as life prolonging extracts in humans. A proprietary extract of the dried root ofAstragalus membranaceus, called TA-65, 'was associated with a significant age-reversal effect in the immune system, in that it led to declines in the percentage of senescent cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells after six to twelve months of use. In October 2010, Intertek/AAC Labs, an ISO 17025 internationally recognized lab, found the largest component of TA-65 to be Cycloastragenol. Telomerase activation was feared to pose an increased risk of cancer because telomereshortening is a mechanism that limits cell proliferation. However, short telomeres result in chromosome instability, hence there is also a potential mechanism for telomere lengthening to protect against cancer (as distinct from mutation-induced activation). The natural gum tragacanth is made from several species of Astragalus occurring in the Middle East, including A. adscendens, A. gummifer, A. brachycalyx,[3][4] and A. tragacanthus. Also Astragalus propinquus (also known as Astragalus membranaceus) has a history of use as a herbal medicine and is used in traditional Chinese medicine

SIDE EFFECTS

Astragalus may interact with medications that suppress the immune system, such as cyclophosphamide.[7] It may also affect blood sugar levels and blood pressure.[7]

 Some Astragalus species can be toxic. For example, several species that grow in the United States contain the neurotoxin swainsonine

4.)Selaginella bryopteris

DESCRIPTION,SCIENTIFIC NAME, GROWTH

Selaginella bryopteris, known commonly as sanjeevani and sanjivini

booti (Devanagari:सं�जी�वनी�), is a lithophytic plant. It is used medicinally in India. The popular

name sanjeevani which translates as "One that infuses life" derives from the medicinal

properties. Sanjeevani grows on the hills of tropical areas, particularly the Arawali

Mountain terrains from east to west in India. The dry plants have traditionally been used as a

remedy for several human health complications for centuries in India, particularly by tribal

peoples. Traditional uses include relief from heat stroke, dysuria, irregular menstruation,

and jaundice, but the effectiveness has not been scientifically validated.

Selaginella bryopteris

History

In Hindu mythology, Sanjeevani is a magical herb which has the

power to cure any malady. It was believed that medicines prepared

from this herb could revive a dead person. This herb is

mentioned in the Ramayana when,Ravana's son Indrajit hurls a powerful

weapon at Lakshmana. Lakshmana is badly wounded and

is nearly killed by Indrajeet. Hanuman was called

upon to fetch this herb from the mount Dunagiri (Mahodaya) in

the Himalayas orValley of Flowers.Upon reaching Mount

Sumeru, Hanuman was unable to identify the herb and decided to

lift the entire mountain and bring it to the battlefield.

Selaginella bryopteris is called in hindi
