By: Publication details: Mandsaur B.R. Nahata Smriti Sansthan 2024Edition: Vol.18(3), Jul-SepDescription: 124-135pSubject(s): Online resources: In: International journal of green pharmacySummary: People have been captured by orchids for generations due to their extraordinary beauty and variety. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, these plants are important in traditional Indian medicine. Because of its possible medicinal properties, the Orchidaceae family–which includes over 800 genera and 25,000 species worldwide– has attracted a lot of interest. Vanda roxburghii, often called Rasna and Vanda tessellata, is one of the family’s most notable species. V. roxburghii’s wide spectrum of chemicals has led to its identification as a possible source of therapeutic qualities. Alkaloids, sitosterol, polyphenols, resins, saponins, flavonoids, tannins, fatty acids, and coloring agents are some of these substances. These substances have demonstrated encouraging pharmacological potential, suggesting that they may be used to treat a range of illnesses. Alkaloids and flavonoids found in V. roxburghii may help reduce pain and inflammation, while the plant’s antibacterial and antimicrobial qualities may aid in the battle against bacterial and fungal diseases. Oxidative stress, a contributing component to chronic illnesses, may be countered by it due to its antioxidant qualities.
