| PAS 1 | The plant is rich in compounds containing anthocyanins, glucoside, ellagic acid, isoquercetin, kaemferol and myrecetin. The seeds are claimed to contain alkaloid, jambosine, and glycoside jambolin or antimellin, which halts the diastatic conversion of starch into sugar. The vast number of literatures found in the database revealed that the extracts of different parts of jambolan showed significant pharmacological actions. [Ayyanar M, Subash-Babu P. Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels: a review of its phytochemical constituents and traditional uses.

| PAS 2 | Black Plum vinegar is good to reduce enlargement of spleen, diarrhoea, and those have urine retention problems. Jamum’s ployphenolic compounds are effective against cancer, heart diseases, diabetes, asthma and arthritis. Black Plum fruit and its leaves are good for diabetic patients. The black plum has anti-diabetic features. The fruit helps to convert starch into energy and keep your blood sugar levels in check. In the summer season, the sugar patient should eat Black Plum regularly because of its low glycemic index. It reduces the symptoms of diabetes like frequent urination and thrusting. The extract of bark, seeds, and leaves are too beneficial in the treatment of diabetes. Besides from this jamun has been used to treat various diseases from ancient area till now.

| PAS 3 | Scientific studies have shown that the various extracts of Jamun possess a range of pharmacological properties such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-genotoxic, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcerogenic, cardioprotective, anti-allergic, anticancer, chemopreventive, radioprotective, free radical scavenging, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, anti-diarrheal, hypoglycemic and antidiabetic effects.

| Community Practices | Tribal people in Maharastra- The tender leaves are taken orally to treat jaundice. It was claimed that the eyes, nails and urine turned yellow. The treatment was followed for 2–3 days by adults and children as well. Aloe vera Aloe vera is a cactus-like plant which readily grows in hot, arid conditions. Aloe vera gel is obtained from the mucilaginous part of the centre of the leaf. It has been used for many centuries and comprises the major ingredient in various commercial skin and wound-care products. It can be used orally and topically to treat a wide range of health-related disorders. The aloe vera gel contains vitamins A, B, C, E, enzymes, polysaccharides, amino acids, sugars and minerals. Traditional Chinese medicine Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) refers to a broad range of medicine practices sharing common theoretical concepts which have been developed in China and are based on a tradition of more than 2000 years, including various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage, exercise (qigong) and dietary therapy. Although these practices are considered alternative medicine in the Western world, they are a common part of medical care throughout East Asia, accounting for the estimated 40% of all health care delivered in China. Role of honey in wound management Honey is a combination of various sugars producing a highly viscous sweet solution which is obtained from the nectar of flower or other plant secretions. The honey bee (Apis mellifera) is responsible for this mixture of sugars in addition to various other enzymes which originate from the bees.

| Disease | WOUND |
| Disease Description | A wound can be defined as a disruption in the continuity of the epithelial lining of the skin or mucosa. Injury, due to surgery or accident, results in destruction of tissue, disruption of blood vessels and extravasations of blood constituents and hypoxia. Wound healing is a complex process that has three phases: inflammatory phase, proliferative phase and maturation phase. Wounds can be broadly classified into acute and chronic wounds depending on their aetiology. Acute wounds occur most commonly due to accidents such as trauma or burns. Acute wounds should normally heal in a short duration provided the right treatment is given. In wound healing, it is always pertinent to achieve rapid and complete wound healing since the resulting scar tissue will be more satisfactory. Hence, the goal of every medical practitioner treating wounds should be to achieve early wound healing. Chronic wounds take a longer time to heal or sometimes even recur due to the underlying pathology. Hence, the underlying problem should first be identified and treated accordingly. |
