Featured Issue: African Journal of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicine Vol.8 No.4

Today we are featuring the African Journal of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicines vol.8 no.4. 

This is the first time we are featuring the journal on the blog! African Journal of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicines focuses on the latest advancements and research in medicinal plants, traditional, complementary and alternative medicines, and food and agriculture.


Vol.8 no.4 includes "Antioxidant Capacity of some Plant Foods and Beverages Consumed in the Easter Region of Nigeria" by Agbor et al. This article details a study done in eastern Nigeria to assess antioxidant properties in popularly consumed plant foods and beverages. Among the classes of food and beverages examined, the results indicated that coffee, star apples, thyme and raices (alcoholic beverage) could have antioxidant properties. Among these classes, vegetables and spices were found to have the most antioxidant properties.

This issue also includes "Investigation of the Antinociceptive and Anti-inflammatory Properties of Heteromorpha arborescens (Apiaceae)" by Nkomo et al. This article investigates the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of the Heteromorpha arborescens, also known as the parsley tree. Methanolic and aquaeous doses of the root extract of Heteromorpha arborescens were administered in small quantities in rats with pain and inflammation. The results indicated that both root extracts reduced edema.
