This work presents the potential areas which the use of enzymes can expand markets for forest products such as oils from plants of the Amazon. This will add value in this raw material served as inputs for the cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical industries. Enzymes can increase the processing power and catalysis of lipids through a green chemistry and these conversions can be incorporated into industrial systems. The enzymatic modification of oils containing a high percentage of unsaturated fatty acids is an alternative biotech process with excellent commercial prospects, since by traditional chemistry can generate oxidation products and polymers undesirable. Another application is the enrichment of vegetable oils with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA - poly-unsaturated fatty acids) for the production of nutraceuticals foods. In another application line, biodiesel production can also occur by enzyme process, allowing the formation of biofuel. Among the oils studied Amazon, Brazil nuts, buriti, tucumã, passion fruit are considered as important as sources of fatty acids (Fig. 1). Together, the hydrolysis and transesterification enzymatic reactions are gaining ground as an alternative to physical and chemical processes (Fig. 2).

Essential counter measures to fight a highly infectious rapidly spreading pandemic disease like COVID-19 include antiviral therapy,   immune-modulator therapy, and vaccination. Antiviral therapies are expensive and require mass production of drugs. Rampant uses of  immunosuppressant, immune-modulators are associated significant complications like lethal bacterial and fungal super infections.  Disease specific vaccines are moreover strain-specific, so the protection provided is also limited and specific. Globally the number of identified COVID- 19 cases has been steadily growing. Along with serious health problems, the disease has exerted a huge psychological impact on the public, hence worldwide there is an increased interest towards use of low-risk, cost-effective complementary alternative therapies, like Yoga and Ayurveda to tackle the infectious pandemic, COVID-19. Now substantial clinical evidence is available on the potential complementary role of various yogic practices in the management of diverse communicable and non-communicable diseases. Recently many studies have also highlighted importance of Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) practices in improvement of psychological, physical and social wellbeing among frontline COVID warriors, COVID patients and general population. A unique Multi-component Breath-Based Yogic Practice “Sudarshan Kriya Yoga” includes specific sequential breathing techniques. It alleviates routine stress, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and stress-related medical disorders through balancing of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), improvement in the systemic health parameters and the quality of life. It is capable of potentiating innate host immune defenses that are crucial to tackle a plethora of microbial infections. A non-governmental, non-profit organization, the Art of Living Foundation has provided solace to the global population at large through online Sudarshan Kriya Yoga workshop during this COVID-19 pandemic.

Ayurveda is said to be an eternal science, it is a holistic system of medicine. The origins of Ayurveda stretch deep into antiquity. It is said to be “Anadi”(timeless) though it’s scripted existence is about 5000 years. In Ayurveda the immunity and wellness is associated with our entire lifestyle. Ayurveda’s primary focus is on preventing illness by proactively leading a healthy way of life. It seeks to balance and restore health through wholesome food, exercise, meditation, relaxation and cleansing (detoxification). Along with Ayurveda, Yoga is a practical wisdom rooted in the vedic literature. Ayurveda and Yoga are complimentary to each other. While Allopathy tends to focus on management of disease, Ayurveda provides wisdom to prevent disease, to eliminate its cause and to maintain health. Ayurveda is based upon the fact that there are five elements present every where, in nature and in all materials including human body. These are Air, Water, Fire, Earth and Space. Different combinations of these elements form “Tridosha”: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Tridosha are present in every person from birth, which are responsible for “Prakruti” of any individual. The Dosha runs the entire physiology of the body. The imbalance between Tridosha causes “Vikruti”, which is the root cause of disease. Moderation in food, exercise, sleep, awareness about our feelings and emotions help us to enhance our immunity and keep our body healthy and mind stress free and calm.

Snakebite can be considered as the most fatal among all types of poisoning . In most of the conditions of snakebite the individual may breath his last either due to the effect of the poison or due to fear . Sometimes a person , after snakebite , dies due to combined effect of the envomated snake venom and fear . It is agreed by both the Ayurvedic scholars and the modern scientists that most of the snakebites are not poisonous . Most of the deaths in such bites occur due to fear . Considering the effect of snake venom and the cause of death due to snakebite, at the time of preparation of the treatment protocol more attention is paid on use of medicines having cardioprotective (hridya) action and also anti – poisonous property medicines by the Ayurvedic scholars even before thousands of years of Christ . Ayurvedic classics mention a good number of plants available around us for treatment of snakebite which are described to have potent anti poisonous effect . These plants are even said to have the potency to cure even the strongest snake venom . A detail scientific study on the drugs of plant origin advised to use for treatment of snakebite may gift the human society an invaluable way in management of snakebite .

Background: In Ethiopia, medicinal plants have been used to treat different diseases, including malaria, for many centuries. People living in rural areas are especially noted for their use of medicinal plants as a major component of their health care. This study aimed to study treatment-seeking and prioritize plants/plant recipes as anti-malarials, in Dembia district, one of the malarious districts in Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: Parents of children aged under 5 years who had had a recent episode of fever were interviewed retrospectively about their child’s treatment and self-reported outcome. Treatments and subsequent clinical outcomes were analysed using Fisher’s exact test to elicit whether there were statistically significant correlations between them. Results and discussion: Of 447 children with malaria-like symptoms, only 30% took the recommended first-line treatment (ACT) (all of whom were cured), and 47% took chloroquine (85% cured). Ninety-nine (22.2%) had used medicinal plants as their first-choice treatment. Allium sativum (Liliaceae), Justicia schimperiana (Acanthaceae), Buddleja polystachya (Scrophulariaceae) and Phytolacca dodecandra (Phytolaccaceae) were the most frequently used. Justicia schimperiana was the one associated with the best clinical outcomes (69% self-reported cure rate). However, the difference in clinical outcomes between the plants was not statistically significant. Conclusion: In this study, only 30% of children took the recommended first-line treatment. 22% of children with presumed malaria were first treated with herbal medicines. The most commonly used herbal medicine was garlic, but J. schimperiana was associated with the highest reported cure rate of the plants. Further research is warranted to investigate its anti-malarial properties.
