Abstract
This study explores the pharmacological activities of herbal medicines
commonly used in traditional agricultural practices, focusing on their
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic effects. Ginseng (Panax
ginseng), Turmeric (Curcuma
longa), Garlic (Allium
sativum), and Lavender (Lavandula
angustifolia) were selected based
on their traditional uses in herbal medicine. The results demonstrated that Ginseng exhibited the highest antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory activities, followed by Turmeric, which showed moderate anti-inflammatory
and antioxidant potential. Garlic
was found to have the most potent antimicrobial activity, while Lavender showed minimal pharmacological effects in
all assays. Cytotoxicity testing revealed that Ginseng and Turmeric were non-toxic at
therapeutic concentrations, while Garlic showed moderate cytotoxicity at higher doses. These findings highlight
the significant pharmacological potential of these herbs and support their
continued use in traditional agricultural and medicinal practices. The study
also emphasizes the need for further clinical validation and standardization of
these herbal remedies for broader therapeutic use.
