Coleus hadiensis (Forssk.) A.J.Paton is a horticultural herb that goes to the Lamiaceae family. This plant species has been using to treat diarrhea, skin and digestive disorders, diabetes, and carcinoma in ethnomedicines. This minireview work purposes to analyze, summarize, and document the reported bioactivities of C. hadiensis. Suitable published works were obtained employing the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases from 1900 to December 2020. Hitherto, in vitro level of scientific evidence is the highest level of scientific evidence available for the bioactivities of this plant species. Various parts of C. hadiensis exhibited antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antimalarial activities in a range of assays. To date, eight bioactive (antimalarial and antioxidant) compounds have been isolated from C. hadiensis. This minireview analyzed, summarized, and documented the reported bioactivities of C. hadiensis. In additi...

In recent decades diabetes mellitus has become a considerable health problem in countries like Sri Lanka and results in an increasing economic burden hampering the social and economic development of these countries. About 60% to 70% of the rural population in Sri Lanka rely on indigenous medicinal systems as their main source for primary health care. Siddha (Tamil) Medicine is one of the four Sri Lankan traditional medicinal systems and it is practised mostly in the eastern and northern provinces of Sri Lanka where the majority of Tamils reside. The foundation of this study is a documentation of plant species recorded in historical and modern Sri Lankan Siddha Medical documents used to treat diabetes. Based on the systematic documentation and analysis of Siddha concepts about diabetes and its signs and preparations used to treat diabetes in Sri Lankan Siddha Medicine, the plant species included in these preparations (excluding globally or very widely used, very well studied species)...
