- Abstract
With the revival of interest in natural products and the "back to nature" call, researchers have started looking into the herbal literature of oriental civilisations, particularly those of India and China, in addition to European and other sources. In this article, I would like to introduce knowledge about two plants and their use in veterinary medicine. Melia azadirachta L. and Centella asiatica L., are a traditional plants known and used for medicinal and cosmetic purposes for thousands of years. Extracts of various parts of neem have proven its medicinal properties; antihelmintic, antifungal, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antiviral and antifertility. Neem use as an insecticide and pesticide was also well documented. The leaves and the whole herb of Centella asiatica, are used in Ajurveda medicine for thousands of years for improving memory and for treatment of central nervous system diseases, vasculo-cardiac disorders, chronic gastric ulcers, dermatopathies and hard healing wounds. The results of modern research have shown the merits of the application Centella asiatica in disorders of the nervous system, cardiovascular system, stomach ulcers, skin diseases and the positive effects on wound healing. Currently, for both presented plants, their therapeutic utilization is still under investigation.
