Push to fight diseases with plants
- Brainstorming on natural medicine at imphal, marrakech
The Telegraph | Ngangbam Indrakanta Singh | Imphal, Nov. 9:
Manipur's abundant wealth of medicinal plants and fruits can be marketed as they have the potential to prevent cancer, diabetes and other diseases, said experts at a Conservation Assessment and Management Prioritisation workshop at the Manipur forest department headquarters here today. The three-day workshop was organised by the Manipur Biodiversity Board in association with the Foundation for Revitalisation of Local Health Tradition (FRLHT), Bangalore.
For instance, black rice, which helps people fight cancer and diabetes, is abundantly available in Manipur at Rs 60 per kg. A kilo of black rise costs Rs 600 in New Delhi. The traditional shampoo, chinghi, produced from rice water and herbs, can also be sold outside the state. Its cost of production is negligible and is sold locally at Rs 25 per 500 ml.
