Prevention is better than cure"
"Change food systems"
"Back to nature"
"Change food systems"
"Back to nature"
With these three objectives, we are working on Ethnomedicinal plants & their scientific validation
Cucumis melo L.
Syn: C. acidus Jacq.
C. alba Nakai.
C. aromatica Royle.
Local name: Bhuin dimba
Specific uses: Fruits are edible & Fruits are also used against Dental problems
Scientific validation: Done at Ambika Prasad Research Foundation - APRF against Streptococcus mutans (Streptococcus mutans are gram-positive cocci shaped bacteria. These facultative anaerobes are commonly found in the human oral cavity, and is a major contributor of tooth decay)
Active secondary metabolites: Polyphenols

Urgently need such work to screen new plants/ compounds against pathogenic microbes and have to establish new nutraceuticals as a food in modern menu.
More responsibility on Ethnobiologist & Taxonomist.
a) Plant, b) Discussion on medicinal values, c) Experimental work, d) Hypothesis & validation
