| Abstract: |
Knowledge of end products of medicinal plants and their consumption can be useful for predicting
future demand and planning for sustainable harvesting. In this context, a survey was carried out
in July 2016 to March 2017 in Nepal and India to explore the industrial demand of commercially
important medicinal plants such as Neopicrorhiza scrophulariiflora, Ophiocordyceps sinensis and
Aconitum spicatum, their end products and uses. This paper presents case studies of Ophiocordyceps
sinensis and Aconitum spicatum. The study findings showed that four industries processed 10 kg O.
sinensis in a year (2015/016), and produced four types of end products such as Ayurvedic tonic, food
supplement, alcoholic beverage and sex stimulant tea. No industry was found processing A. spicatum
in Nepal. The end products containing O. sinensis were reported having multiple benefits to human
body including enhancing immunity power, boosting stamina, inducing relaxation, providing energy
and mental freshness and healing a number of health disorders. The domestic industrial consumption
of O. sinensis was found insignificant in comparison to its harvested volume in trade, and should
not be considered a major threat to this species. Diversification of end products of O. sinensis is
recommended to contribute to national economy while promoting consumer healthcare in Nepal. |
