Pharmacognostic Studies on a Well Known Cardio Protective Plant Pistacia Vera
Main Article Content
Abstract
The plant Pistacia vera (commonly called as Pista) has many significant studies in HDL and proves to be cardioprotective. It also has additional properties, which include antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory activity and antimicrobial activity. Thus, further research would bring beneficial effects for cardiovascular diseases. In the present study the detailed pharmacognostic parameters are discussed viz., Physicochemical, TLC , Histlogical and microbial and which revealed the fingerprint profile of Pistachio vera
