Introduction
Nardostachys jatamansi (D. Don) DC is a rhizomatous perennial herb distributed endemically at an altitude of 3000ā5000 m asl in the Himalayas (Airi et al., 2000; Chauhan and Nautiyal, 2005). This species is extensively harvested for its rhizomes/roots which have high medicinal value. The species is ethnobotanically known for the treatment of nervous, digestive, circulatory, respiratory, urinary, stomach, and reproductive disorders, and to cure cough, fever, headache, food poisoning, cholera, stomach disorders, intestinal worms, joint pain, rheumatism, stomach disorders, and jaundice (Kaur et al., 2020). N. jatamansi finds extensive uses in the pharmaceutical industry as it exhibits anti-hyperglycemic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic activities, anti-cancer activity, nootropic effect against dementia and Alzheimerās disease (Dhiman and Bhattacharya, 2020). The species is over-exploited and is critically endangered (Ved et al., 2015). Factors such as high trade value, endemic nature, specific habitat requirements, deforestation, and over-grazing, etc. are responsible for its declining populations. This chapter provides an overview of the biology, threats, and conservation of N. jatamansi .

4.2 Description of the Plant
V. wallichii DC (henceforth referred to as VW), also known as Valeriana jatamansi Jones is a small, perennial, pubescent herb belonging to the family Valerianaceae , order Dipsacales , that is 14ā45 cm tall (Fig. 4.1). Commonly referred to as Indian valerian or tagar-ganthoda, VW has horizontal, thick rootstock with thick descending fibrous roots (Singh et al., 2013). The roots are usually yellowish brown in color, measuring 1.5ā7 cm long and 1ā2 mm high, and constitute one of the medicinally most important parts of the VW plant (Fig. 4.2). The roots have piliferous layer of papillosed cells, some of which develop into root hairs. Exodermis is a single layer of quadrangular to polygonal cells with suberized walls, containing globules of volatile oil. The root cortex is parenchymatous with several starch granules. Cells in the outermost layer also have abundant globules of volatile oil (Mhaske et al., 2011). The rhizome is yellowish to brownish, subcylindrically shaped; having a length of 4ā7 cm and thickness of about 1 cm. Leaves are radical, persistent, stalked, cordate-ovate, acute, and toothed. Flowers of VW are pinkish-white or whitish in color, arranged in a terminal corymb having an approximate diameter of 3ā8 cm. The flowers are unisexual, with male and female flowers on different plants. Fruits of VW plant are small and smooth, sometimes hairy. VW odor is typically valerianaceous and taste is largely bitter (Bos et al., 1997; Devi and Rao, 2014).

Herbal Formulations and Their Bioactive Components as Dietary Supplements for Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis

3.2 Majoon Ushba
Majoon ushba (MU) is an Unani-based polyherbal formulation derived from 14 plant species, including Pterocarpus santalinus , Cassia angustifolia , Smilax china , Santalum album , Roasa damascene , Piper chaba , Cinnamomim zeylaricum , Borage offinialis , Custa reflexa , Polypodium vulgae , Smilax officinalis , Nardostachys jatamansi , Terminalia chebula , and Terminalia belerica. 22 It is an extensively used Indian unani formulation that is used to treat inflammatory conditions with minimal or no side effects.23 The bioactive components of this polyherbal derivative are comprised of ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid, morin, vanillic acid, gallic acid, catechin, and quercetin, which are well established as possessing antioxidant and antiinflammatory activity.24,25 However, much less scientific evidence is available to elucidate its effects in treating an autoimmune disorder such as RA.
It has been recently identified that MU suppresses clinical manifestations in AIA rats through the suppression of NFĪŗB and AP-1 transcription factors. Furthermore, MU reduces bone resorption via the suppression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) and upregulation of osteoprotegerin (OPG).26 MU has also been substantiated to reduce the proliferation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) through the attenuation of ERK/MAPKs, resulting in the suppression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.27

9.2 Characteristics of HA Himalayan Medicinal Plants
The HA Himalayan regions, until recently, were less explored because of difficulties with accessibility and harsh climatic conditions. In the last few years, however, HA medicinal plants and herbs have gained substantial interest among researchers because of their unique and rich content of numerous bioactive constituents (Theis and Lerdau, 2003). Considering the abundance of medicinally important pharmacological compounds present in HA herbs, around 70%ā80% of the worldās population depend on drug preparations from such herbal sources to treat several health problems.
Some of these pharmacological constituents along with their bioactivities are summarized in Table 9.1.

Some of the medicinal plants and herbs, such as Aconitum heterophyllum, Acorus calamus, Asparagus racemose, Atropa belladonna Linn., Bergenia ligulate, Cinchona ledgeriana, Colchicum luteum Baker, Cordyceps sp. , Curcuma sp. , Ganoderma sp. , Hippophae sp. , Nardostachys jatamansi, Origanum vulgare, Polygonatum verticilatum, Rhodiola sp. , Valeriana sp. , and Withania somnifera are unique in respect to their biological activities (Balakumbahan et al., 2010; Geetha et al., 2003; Hayes et al., 2008; Kaul, 1997; Mathews et al., 1990; Mishra et al., 2017a, b; Mockute et al., 2001; PatoÄka and Jakl, 2010; Rakhee et al., 2016; Saboon et al., 2016; Saha et al., 2016; Srimal, 2001; Wijnsma et al., 1985) .
Most of the bioactive compounds in the HA plants encompass secondary metabolites (as seen in Table 9.1). For instance, many HA herbal sources consist of substantial amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are primarily responsible for imparting aroma and fragrance. Such compounds are used as chief ingredients in essential oils and oil-based healing formulations used to treat arthritis, muscle contractions, and sciatica. Several other secondary metabolites in these herbs are alkaloids, amino acids, fatty acids, flavonoids, glycosides, lignans, nucleotides, nucleoside, phenolic acids, phenols, proteins, resins, sterols, tannins, and terpenoids (Azmir et al., 2013; Ingle et al., 2017).
In light of the abundance of phytoconstituents in herbal sources and their varied bioactivities, it is essential to compile all the analytical techniques that enable isolation and characterization of these compounds. This compilation could further support their application as therapeutic agents.
Toxicity and Protective Effects of African Medicinal Plants on the Spleen and Lung
Armel J. Seukep, ā¦ Victor Kuete, in Toxicological Survey of African Medicinal Plants, 2014
17.4.4 Medicinal Plants Screened Out of Africa with Beneficial Effect on the Lung
Although certain plants have toxic effects on the lungs, there are those which have beneficial effects. TCM contains numerous ingredients that they may be considered to have anti-lung cancer activity as well as serving as immunomodulators [59]. For examples, acetone extract of Angelica sinensis (Apiaceae) induced the activation of caspase 9/3 mediated by the suppression of Bcl-2 and cdk 4 expression in the A549, HT29 and J5DBTRG-05MG lung cancer cells lines. The ethanolic extract of Scutellaria barbata (Lamiaceae) activates caspase 3/7 [59]. Some Thai medicinal plants used as the ingredients of a Southern Thai traditional formula for cancer treatment were selected to test cytotoxicity activity against large cell lung carcinoma [60]. Other plants such as Bridelia ovata (Phyllanthaceae), Curcuma zedoaria (Zingiberaceae), Derris scandens (Fabaceae), Dioscorea membranacea (Dioscoreaceae), Nardostachys jatamansi (Valerianaceae), and Rhinacanthus nasutus (Acanthaceae) which displayed cytotoxic activity toward [lung carcinoma](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/ recommended smoking the dried entirely and
