Scientific validation of tribal claims & microbial infections-2

The story was started @ 2009, when first time I visited Similipal Biosphere Reserve with Dr. R. C. Misra, Father of My Research, and started work on Ethnobotany. As a student of Biotechnology, started thinking that they are claiming false things but they were correct. This misconception led to start validation of their claims and after lots of discussion with Dr. R. C. Misra, finally we decided to work on Celastrus paniculatus, a vulnerable plant of Odisha and in the year we validated through phytochemical screening. I believe that it was first paper from Odisha of such kind or before it very less report are available from Odisha. Still the paper gives me the opportunity to think on traditional therapeutic systems of plant species and how to validate them for providing baseline data @ advance research.
