Flower Medicine List In Tamil Pdf

[Jarrell Campbell]

Thisis a summary of the scientific conclusions reached by the Committee on Herbal Medicinal Products (HMPC) on the medicinal uses of elder flower. The HMPC conclusions are taken into account by EU Member States when evaluating applications for the licensing of herbal medicines containing elder flower.

This summary is not intended to provide practical advice on how to use medicines containing elder flower. For practical information about using elder flower medicines, patients should read the package leaflet that comes with the medicine or contact their doctor or pharmacist.

The HMPC conclusions only cover elder flower preparations that are obtained by drying and comminuting (reducing into tiny pieces) the flowers or by putting the plant material in a solvent (such as ethanol) to dissolve compounds and form a liquid extract.

Elder flower medicines should only be used in adults and adolescents over the age of 12 years. If symptoms worsen or last longer than 1 week whilst taking the medicine, a doctor or a qualified healthcare practitioner should be consulted. Detailed instructions on how to take elder flower medicines and who can use them can be found in the package leaflet that comes with the medicine.

The HMPC conclusions on the use of these elder flower medicines for relief of early symptoms of common cold are based on their 'traditional use'. This means that, although there is insufficient evidence from clinical trials, the effectiveness of these herbal medicines is plausible and there is evidence that they have been used safely in this way for at least 30 years (including at least 15 years within the EU). Moreover, the intended use does not require medical supervision.

Any applications for the licensing of medicines containing elder flower have to be submitted to the national authorities responsible for medicinal products, which will assess the application for the herbal medicine and take into account the scientific conclusions of the HMPC.

From a flower which resembles a brain to a three-metre-tall plant that smells of rotting flesh, sometimes the natural world is more horrifying than any fiction. Discover this creepy collection of nature's strangest plants.

Native to Siberia, northern China, Korea and Japan, bleeding heart gets its name from its heart shape and distinctive white tips which resemble droplets. The first specimens were introduced to the UK in the nineteenth century by botanist Robert Fortune. They bloom in springtime.

This bushy plant has dense, brain-like flowers nicknamed wool flowers or brain celosia. Despite its unsettling appearance, cockscomb has a rich history in traditional medicine and has been used to treat everything from headaches to menstrual cramps.

Cogon grass, or Japanese bloodgrass, earns its name from its blood-red spikes. A perennial plant, Japanese bloodgrass is popular with gardeners for its bold colour. But beware: though, any variety of cogon grass without the red tips is highly invasive. It is also very flammable, burning at higher temperatures than native grasses which can lead to wildfires.

Witches' hair (Cuscata), also known by the equally spooky name of strangleweed (and the less scary dodder), is a genus of over 200 different parasitic plants. It is native to tropical climates but also appear in temperate areas - including the UK. Cuscata is often identifiable as a mass of green, brown or orange spaghetti-like substance hanging from other trees. It lacks chlorophyll so it needs to feed from other plants (not unlike a vampire) to reproduce. Even stranger, Cuscata can identify the plants around it based on smell alone.

Belladonna or deadly nightshade is an extremely toxic herb that, when eaten, causes delirium, hallucinations and eventually death. Belladonna literally translates to 'beautiful lady', and during the Medieval period, women used the berries' juice to dilate their pupils to appear more attractive (do not try this!). Deadly nightshade has also been the poison of choice throughout history and literature, and its reputation led to the belief that witches could use it to fly. Belladonna belongs to the Solanaceae (nightshade) family which includes tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplants.

Wolf's bane is the name of a genus of flowering plants in the Ranunculaceae family. Identifiable by its beautiful flowers, wolf's bane is a fast-acting poison which can result in nausea, vomiting, paralysis, breathing and heart problems before killing you. It was used to create poison arrows in China and like Belladonna, was a popular poison in ancient Rome. Wolf's bane got its name from when it was used to poison wolves and panthers in the eighteenth century. As fact often blurs into fiction, this use has morphed in popular culture, where it is often shown to be an effective werewolf deterrent.

The extremely hardy, poisonous hemlock is an invasive plant that can grow to heights of 2.4 metres. Its seeds and roots are especially poisonous. If being deadly was not enough to put you off, hemlock also has a repulsive smell which can be carried on the wind. In ancient Greece, hemlock was used to poison prisoners, including the philosopher Socrates.

A flowering plant native to the desert regions of Tanzania and South Africa, the carrion flower (or toad flower) earns its name from its absolutely repulsive smell. It releases a rotting-flesh odour to attract flies to pollinate it. The plant smells so terrible that scientists are working on ways to use it as a human appetite suppressant.

Arguably the cutest of the spooky entries in this list, the cobra lily or Californian pitcher plant is a carnivorous plant that grows in bogs. Its name comes from its tubular top which resembles a cobra's hood, while its forked leaf looks like a tongue. The plant traps insects by luring them in, and once the prey is inside, light shining through the translucent hood prevents it from finding the exit. The downward-pointing hairs ensure the insect's trip is one way.

Not to be confused with the carrion plant above, this is another plant that reeks of rotten bodies on blooming. Corpse flowers can take five to ten years to bloom for the first time and may take another two to ten years to bloom again, so smelling one is a rare experience. It has the largest unbranched inflorescence (a group of flowers on a main branch) that can reach heights of up to three metres. Bonus fact: its binomial name derives from the Greek for 'giant, misshapen phallus'.

The most iconic of the carnivorous plants, the Venus flytrap's uncanny, seemingly sentient nature has influenced pop culture including Pokmon, The Day of the Triffids and Little Shop of Horrors. Charles Darwin once described the plant as 'one of the most wonderful in the world', though it is unlikely their insect prey would agree. The plant uses sweet nectar to attract flies, then when one lands and triggers the fine hairs within the trap, the plant closes around the fly and digests its soft tissue with an enzyme.

Flowers tend to be colourful to attract pollinators, but this and the next entry lean to the dark side. The black bat flower has large black flowers which measure 30 centimetres and sprout 'whiskers' which reach 70 centimetres in length. It is found primarily in southeast Asia and prefers forests and valleys in shady areas.

The unusually coloured leaves of the taro plant are specifically bred for their appearence. Also known as black elephant ears, which isn't quite as spooky, this evergreen plant can grow up to 1.8 metres tall. Black magic is fairly easy to grow, so it could be the perfect Halloween addition to your garden.

White baneberry is known as doll's eye as the black stigmas in the white berries make it look like a cluster of eyeballs on stalks. If this banesberry's creepy appearance wasn't enough to ward you off, it is also poisonous to humans thanks to its immediate sedative response in muscle tissue. Birds find the berries harmless and are the main means of the plant's dispersal.

The ghost plant gets its nickname from its unusual colouring. It completely lacks chlorophyll and does not need to photosynthesise thanks to its symbiotic relationship with fungi, where it gets its nutrition through parasitism. This gives it an ethereal glow and the ability to grow in the darkest of forests.

Many people appreciate lavender (Lavandula angustifolia or Lavandula officinalis) for its fragrance. Lavendar is a common ingredient in soaps, shampoos, and sachets for scenting clothes. The name lavender comes from the Latin root lavare, which means "to wash." Lavender may have earned this name because it was frequently used in baths to help purify the body and spirit. However, this herb has also been used as a remedy for a range of ailments from insomnia and anxiety to depression and fatigue. Research has confirmed that lavender produces slight calming, soothing, and sedative effects when its scent is inhaled.
