A Review on Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Properties of Anisomeles malabarica
Abstract
Anisomeles malabarica also known as Malabar catmint is an undershrub which belongs to Lamiaceae family. Found in tropical regions, this plant has an ancient origin of being both anti-microbial and anti-oxidant in nature. The plant extract of this plant can efficiently treat certain diseases like swelling, rheumatism and mild fever. The plant is initially subjected to phytochemical analysis to check the presence of metabolites. Anti-microbial property is made evident by employing agar well diffusion techniques and radical neutralization method is employed to check the anti-oxidant property. Based in the results of these analytical methods the plant can be used in air and water filters for efficient treatment of microbes. The anti-oxidant property can also be used to minimize the effect of smoking on the human body.
