Cryptolepis buchanani (Ganglong, family Asclepiadaceae) is a climbing tree widely used in folk medicine in Southeast Asia. Also its root, stem, and leaves are used for the treatment of bone fracture by tribal people in Arunachal Pradesh. It shows antibacterial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and chondroprotective activities. Cissus quadrangularis (Harjor, family Vitaceae) has been known for its bone healing properties for many centuries (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5512407/#:~:text=Acacia%20arabica%20(Babool%2C%20family%20Mimosaceae,dislocation%20of%20bones%20stiff%20joint.) |

| Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs |
Damage to adjacent structures such as nerves, muscles or blood vessels, spinal cord, and nerve roots (for spine fractures), or cranial contents (for skull fractures) may cause other specific signs and symptoms. Also includes pain, disability, and deformity. If the fracture union is not achieved, the patient may suffer long-term disability. |
| Disease Description |
A bone fracture is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of the bone. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several pieces. A bone fracture may be the result of high force impact or stress, or a minimal trauma injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, bone cancer, or osteogenesis imperfecta, where the fracture is then properly termed a pathologic fracture. |

| Procedure of Use |
Arvindbhai N Patel uses dhaman (Grewia tiliaefolia) roots boiled in oil and water for healing bone fracture in animals. He takes 200 gram of dhaman (Grewia tiliaefolia) roots. These are partly grounded. Then 300 gram sesame (Sesamum indicum) oil is added to it. The compound is mixed with water and boiled again. This solution is then cooled, filtered and drenched to the animal. A dose of 250 gram of this solution is given to a three-year-old animal, a dose of 500 gram decoction for three to seven year olds and older animals are given a dose of one litre of this decoction. Pain of the animal subsides within six to seven days and the fracature is healed. Moreover, the affected part is bandaged after strapping it with cotton wool and strips of bamboo. |
