Physiochemical analysis of leaves of Datura stramonium & stem of Musa paradisiaca plants
Ashish Rahi and Dr. Anuj Kumar Sharma
Medicinal plants are used as raw materials in herbalism, contemporary medication production, and other medical commodities. Modern pharmaceuticals and treatments are made from around 1,748 different species of plants that have been discovered in the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR). Specifically, we obtained the stem of M. paradisiaca from the medicinal garden of B. R. Nahata College of Pharmacy in Mandsaur, M.P., India, and the leaves of D. stramonium (Linn.) from the Jhalawar area in Rajasthan, India. Anatomical research has shown that D. stramonium leaves are elongated, thin, fragile, and non-basal. Their short petiole, irregular base, pointed tip, pinnate venation, teeth that separate the sinuses, and four to five lobes give them an oval form. The leaves were greyish green in colour and ranged in breadth and length from 8 to 25 cm. They had a harsh flavour and looked unhealthy. It follows that both plant materials are safe to use to terminate a pregnancy. This is why the M. paradisiaca stem has an estrogenic action.
