CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Although, there is a high degree of
quality control in the application of chemical in plant, leaves normally
release small quantities of volatile chemical, but when a plant is
damage by herbivorous insect, it should be considered as the main
problem arising during plant processing. The chemical identity of the
volatile compounds varies with the plant species and with the
herbivorous insect species. These volatiles attract both parasitic and
predatory insect that are natural enemies of the herbivorous. (Law and
Regnier1971) one of the possible solution to control parasite and insect
in the plant is to select plants for your garden that will help control
insect pests, (P. Allen Smith 1998).
1.2 PURPOSE OF STUDY
The
purpose of these research work is to let the public know the usefulness
of Eremomastax speciosa (African blood tonic plant), locally known as
Edem Iduduot as it has so many medicinal purpose. The leaves are used in
the treatment of fracture and so on, in which ordinary, will have
demanded a lot of money in the treatment of such disease and infection
in the hospital.
The purpose of these research is also to study the
phytochemical composition of Eremmostax speciosa as the leave is used to
cured so many infections. (Adjanohoun eta’l, 1996).
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The
objective among other things includes creating awareness for everyone
that did not know the true usefulness of Eremomastax speciosa (African
blood tonic plant) to know. It will address the problems discovered and
the way out.
The objectives will include
To investigate other alternative way of presenting African blood tonic plant to the public.
It will enable the people that disserted the plant to know the medicinal value of it.
Many
people in our society today are suffering from this infection called
urinary tract infection, because most of them do not know what to use in
which much money will not be spent. African blood tonic plant has been
shown for the treatment of urinary tract infection.
To let people
know that the cooling properties of the leaves of African blood tonic
plant were used in Southern Nigeria by herbalist to treat internal heat.
It
is hoped that an avenue to attract people that are suffering from this
infection will see the usefulness of the plant through this research
work, (Oben eta’l, 2006).
