PAS_1 Schrebera swietenioides plant leaves showed antioxidant activity by DPPH radical scavenging assay method and the activity was comparable to standard ascorbic acid. However detailed investigation is required for microscopical evaluation, isolation and identification of phytochemical constituent and pharmacological activity at cellular level. [Priyanka Goyal et al. Evaluation of in-vitro antioxidant effect of Schrebera swietenioides leaf aqueous extract. J Pharm Sci Innov. 2020;9(2):60-62] http://dx.doi.org/10.7897/2277-4572.092170
PAS_2 The root bark contains some bioactive agents that are powerful antioxidants, which prevent or repair the damage done to the cells by free radicals or highly reactive oxygen species. A significant observation was that the content of polyphenols, flavonoids and tannins was much higher in the root bark compared to the leaves and stem bark. The anti-anaemic property of the plant may be attributed to the presence of the above-mentioned bioactive as they are known to exert anti-oxidant activity as reported in the literature. From our study, it can be established that the anti-anaemic potential of the root bark can be explored for further research in developing a novel herbal delivery system.

Precautions
Procedure of Use Distension of abdomen is observed in the animal affected by bloat. Its abdomen sounds like a drum when tapped with hand. To get rid of this problem, 500 g of dill seed (Anethum gravealens) and 50 g of rock salt are crushed and mixed together. In the morning, 100 g of this mixture is drenched to the suffering animal. This practice has been in use for the last 8 to 10 years and it has no sign of side effects. This is a traditional practice learnt from our forefathers.
