Medicinal Plants and Its Therapeutic Uses

---

The traditional knowledge and use of medicinal plant species from the plant family
Asteraceae was reviewed for the treatment of several types of cancers in Aizawl District,
Mizoram, Northeast India. Traditional healers and patients suffering from various cancers
in the study area were interviewed with the help of local translators to congregate the
information for the use of medicinal plants against several prevalent cancers in this part of
India. In the present review, we reported 22 plant species which were commonly used for the
treatment of various cancers and ulcer. The most common used plant for the treatment of
various cancers is Mikania micrantha followed by Ageratum conizoids. Leaves are the most
common part used. The present review outlined the traditional information along with the
major phytochemical compounds obtained from the listed plants which may be responsible
for their traditional values in the selected study area. We hypothesized that the information
could improve the traditional anti-cancer recipes and might contribute to a better national
or international health system in future.
