Āyurveda has two primary targets, one is to maintain the health of the healthy and the other to treat the sick and bereaved. To be precise, it is equally beneficial in preventive and curative aspects. As far as Āyurveda is concerned, Āhara (Diet) and Auṣadha (medicine) are two sides of the same coin. Some diseases can be managed with Āhara alone, some with Auṣadha. But even when Auṣadha is the primary intervention, Āhara plays an equally important role because it supports the auṣadha. Godhūma (Triticum aestivum L.); is one such dravya that is considered as Pathyāhāra (suitable to the condition) in numerous diseases out of which Prameha (Diabetes) is just one. But what is not known is that it has also been extensively recommended as auṣadha in several diseases across the texts. In the Bṛhatrayis- Charaka Samhita by Ācārya Charaka, Suśruta Samhita by Ācārya Suśruta, Aṣṭāṅga Saṅgraha and Aṣṭāṅga Hṛdaya by Ācārya Vaghbhata, the wide spectrum of pharmacological applications of Godhūma have been elaborated, indicating it to be a very therapeutically potential dravya. In modern pharmacology, the properties, and applications of Triticum aestivum L. are very well researched and documented, specifically its importance as a primary diet in a diabetic. But the therapeutic potential from the Āyurvedic point of view has never been reviewed before. This review article targets to fill this void, by presenting the therapeutic indications of Godhūma mentioned in the Bṛhatrayis.

At present, green synthesized based drug delivery systems play a major role in the bio medical field. Lantana camara, also known as Unni chedi in Tamil, is an evergreen shrub that is involved in a variety of cancer diseases due to its pharmacological activity. In addition, the leaf extract of Lantana camara was found to have excellent anti cancer activity. The green synthesized AgNPs of Lantana camara leaves extract were more efficient against oral cancer. In this report, green synthesized nano-formulations in presence of AgNPs were formulated. The as prepared formulation was confirmed by UV spectroscopy, particle size and zeta potential, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). In UV Spectroscopy the absorbance of the peak appears between the range of 200 to 300 nm corresponding to the formulation of AgNPs. The Zeta potential shows high colloidal stability; the average potential value is -12.6mV. The particle size results shown that the average size of AgNPs is 268.1 nm. The morphology and particle size determined using SEM analysis indicate spherical shaped particles. Further, the oral anti-cancer activity was evaluated on Squamous Cell Cancer (SCC-25) cell line. The cell line result shown is that the IC 50 value for AgNPs was 39µg/ml and the plant extract shown 145µg/ml, this indicates that the silver nanoparticles have more potential when compared to the leaf extract.Keywords
